i have PCOS this pill was amazing for the first 3 1/2 years, it made me lose 10 pounds in two weeks from me changing nothing to my active levels and diet, my skin cleared up, i had lighter and regular periods, had a high sex drive until i started having very irregular periods in the last 6 months. including periods happening every other week and spotting between it even when taking it correctly so i decided to change contraception but this may be because of my PCOS

I started rigevidon / combined pill when I was 15 for painful periods. I had no issues with it, no change to my mental health. You can take this pill without taking a break so it meant I didn't have to have periods which was fantastic! Unfortunately I had to stop it as I had a "visual migraine" - so I was not allowed to continue it as this is a recognised contraindication to this contraception.
