Not much sex drive but I've been on a combined pill for almost 18 years so I don't think it's unique. Experienced some acne when switching over to Yasmin from Marvellon but not too bad.

Pros: better skin, no changes to body weight wise, lighter periods Cons: absolutely not worth it from a mental health pov


Very negative mood

I came of Loestrin as they stopped manufacturing it :( but haven't had any issues starting up with this one. Haven't noticed any negative side effects - have been a bit more emotional but I'm not sure its down to the pill. Overall am v happy with it!
