I was on rigevidon for years before children and never had any side effects. I stopped it when I wanted to get pregnant, and got pregnant the first month of trying (which was two weeks after stopping the pill, before I’d had my first period but when I could tell I was ovulating!). I restarted it after having my children and it made my periods much lighter, less painful, and reduced my cyclical bowel movement pain that I am pretty sure is endometriosis. Annoyingly I had two migraines with aura this year, so have had to stop taking it! Trying to be brave and have the hormonal coil placed.

I was on this pill for my periods as they were very irregular and acne and in the beginning it worked very well but after a few months I had intense break through bleeding and I was basically on my period for months. My acne cleared then got worse, I gained alot of weight and I started having horrible migraines
Very negative mood

Amazing compared to the progesterone only pill and progesterone only implant I was on previously. Less mood swings, no depression. Perfect for timing my irregular periods, except the breakthough bleed a couple days before I end my pill packet. DEFINITELY GAINED WEIGHT. Before I was living a bit sedentary, and even when I joined the gym, I was still heavy/gaining weight. Led to breasts and tummy increasing 4 inches each. Will be going back to the gym daily for cardio to maintain / decrease this. My migraines had stopped prior to taking the combined pill, but since having it, I am getting a few more headaches, and sometimes a migraine, but not daily like I used to.
Decreased sex drive
