I thought I would try this pill because it had some fairly good reviews and I cannot tolerate estrogen. The first week of taking this I had racing thoughts, felt extremely panicky and did not sleep well.. this settled down so I carried on. I strarted spotting a few days before the placebo pills which turned into light bleeding that lasted all the way through to pack 3 !!! It’s a great contraceptive because you can never have sex! My mood has been terrible. I have been tearful, very cranky and irritable at things that would never usually bother me. I have felt quite dizzy at times and almost “unreal.” I have experienced panic like never before. This pill is making me feel like I am going crazy. I’m stopping taking it as I would rather have period pains than feel like this! Awful .
Very negative mood

I switched to Slynd having previously taken Hana but been unsatisfied with the experience, and can't ask much more from it. I found that my mood almost immediately improved, and I continued to experience a more stable mood. I do occasionally experience headaches around the time of the placebo break, but this was normal for me without medication anyway, and it's better overall to know exactly when this will happen. In my first month taking Slynd, I did experience a lot of bleeding - but I had been bleeding constantly on Hana, and I think this is down to the Hana pill insufficiently thinning my uterine lining and then the Slynd pill starting to work correctly, meaning I had to shed the build-up. In the second month I didn't bleed at all. After that, I did start to bleed in the placebo break, and experience increasing spotting between breaks, but this was still a very light amount overall (I am starting to think I might have just been a heavy bleeder to begin with!). After around 6 months of taking the pill, I did have one day of very heavy bleeding at the start of my Placebo break. From the next day I returned to having no spotting and a lighter bleed the next month. I am happy with this cadence personally, and I do suspect that someone who already bled lightly wouldn't experience this at all.
Somewhat positive mood

Using Sltnd for Endo rather than a contraceptive, this is my second month. First month I had breakthrough bleeding for 23 days but no period this month. Not had awful ovulation pain like before and my pain has reduced somewhat. Headaches are a bit of a pain as I am not a headachy person usually. Had a very stressful two months so not sure if my mood is stress or the pill. It has affected my sex drive but this can be affected alot by pain so we manage that anyway. So far I feel like it's helped with pain definitely need to give it longer. I don't take the placebo pills until month 3 so I take slynd constantly till month 3 as doctor recommended to do so.
