This is the third pill I’ve tried and I’ve finally found one I want to stay on. I lost weight, my skin cleared up, my bra size has gone up in cup in 3 months, I’m much calmer on this pill I’m someone who is neurodivergent which causes me lots of anxiety and this pill has made me a lot more optimistic and relaxed. Only been on it 3 months if anything changes I’ll update!

I used Yasmin for 8 months, lost 8kg and my appetite. Until getting off the pill I didn’t realise that I had felt nauseous other than vomiting every week or two. I had a little brain fog but other than those I didn’t find any other side effects and I really liked it.

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!!
