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.
