Don’t listen to everyone fear mongering about the combined pill . As a young adult , I’ve had zero issues with taking it . I was at first so so scared of the side effects but I have had zero !! Literally no changed whatsoever. I have endometriosis and pcos and the pill so far hasn’t made a huge difference but then again I don’t have very many symptoms or pain for either of the conditions . No mood swings , no anxiety depression or anything . I feel exactly as before , more balanced maybe ? No weight gain at all , didn’t kill my libido either . Actually I would say it made my libido a bit stronger . No change in personality , sense of smell taste or anything else . I’ve had literally zero effects and feel just like before . So honestly if you’re thinking of going on it , try it for a month , you can always quit if you don’t like it . Remember everyone’s body is different though and may react in a different way.

Love this pill, it’s a bit more expensive than others on the market, but worth it in my opinion. - Lighter Periods - Very little PMS - Bigger boobs - Clear skin - No change in weight

Moved from Rigevidon as I was advised it might improve my skin + I had started feeling someone indifferent generally on that pill. I’ll start with the positives: my weight has fluctuated less, I can be very positive at times and my sex drive has increased. The cons: I had very bad anxiety and dark moods moving over in the first month. Whilst that has subsided, my moods in private are very changeable and I has made me feel low. It’s like all my moods are amplified, so when it’s good it’s great and when it’s bad it’s worse. Plus I seem to have new headaches that I didn’t have before. I’m surprised as it seemed to well rated but this isn’t the pill for me.
