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.

I was so scared to start birth control because I was scared of gaining weight but this is honestly perfect. Only side effect is occasional irregular periods but like that’s about it. 10/10 recommend!!
