I have taken this pill for four months to help with endometriosis symptoms. Previously, I was on Eloine for about a year which worked greatly for me with minor side effects, but changed out of precautions due to having had two or three migraines with an aura. Within the first month of taking Slynd, my headaches became more frequent and intense (to such degree that I need to see a neurologist). Without changing my food habits, I gradually gained 8 kg in the four months of taking Slynd. I also have felt my mental health has been negatively affected by depressive feelings and mood swings. I am a mental health professional and was very surprised at this side effect, given my self-care routines and emotional regulation skills are usually optimal. I also developed adult acne, which I would have been ok with if it was the only side effect. The acne and weight gain have negatively affected my self-esteem. One good thing I experienced on Slynd is that my endometriosis cramps were less intense and that I was able to take this pill continuously, thereby skipping my periods and making endometriosis symptoms more manageable. As a result of this, I had more energy to work out.

I have had no good experience with this pill. I have. Period every 1 to 2 weeks extremely heavy and clot filled, causing me to not be able to go about normal everyday life. I cant plan for anything. I am losing milk as I'm breastfeeding. Overall this medicine has made my overall quality of life horrible. I'm always weak nauseous bloated in the bathroom as this pill is causing a period more so often than less. I have had 27 period in the past year. Please help

I’m taking Slynd to treat Endometriosis symptoms. Overall I’m satisfied - I’m having much less pain and am bleeding a lot less than before. Also my migraines seem to have disappeared completely since I’m on this pill! The one negative though is the constant spotting. The first months I had constant spotting/breakthrough bleeding. Then it got better for a few months - I only spotted for a few days every 45 days or so. But now I seem to be back to bleeding/spotting pretty much all the time again (and I’ve been on this for 2 years now!). Definitely annoying but I’ll stick with it for a while longer to see if it gets better again.
