The main side effect I experienced at the beginning of taking this pill was nausea, mainly after I had taken the pill but also throughout the day to the point where I thought I could be pregnant but it has subsided. I have started getting very irregular periods and regular spotting but I don’t really mind it too much, generally they’re a lot lighter and not painful. I have gotten a few more breakouts but they’re quite small, and could be due to other factors - do not let this put you off this pill. In terms of mood I have been crying more but not necessarily because I’m sadder at all? just out of happiness etc haha. No impact at all on sex drive etc yes. Overall a pretty good experience so far (but don’t want to jinx it)

The first five months of taking it after switching from the combined pill were amazing, I had no period and felt mentally very well. Then in the 5th month I started lightly bleeding and it hasn't stopped for over 3 months now, affecting my mental health, libido and general health of my vagina. I got thrush more and I started being drier and having pain whilst having sex. I'm not sure if it was user error since I never skipped a pill and the latest I'd ever been to taking it was 3 hours. Notable difference: The first 5 months were on Cerazette, not Zellete, however considering the active ingredient in the pill is the same I'm not sure that's what caused the difference.

Having been on various combined pills since I was 13 due to incredibly heavy periods, I constantly experienced mood swings, migraines and acne on everything but Loestrin 20 (discontinued), and Gedarel (still had symptoms, just mild). I tried a mini pill this time, and it’s made a massive difference! I had a light period for about 8 days when I first started, and haven’t had anything since. No symptoms during the time I would have been on it either beside the occasional mild headache. My acne has been fractionally worse, but regular basic skincare has reduced it to no more than one or two small pimples at a time. I’ve lost a little bit of weight, my hair has stopped shedding so much, but my scalp can get dry and itchy sometimes and my hair needs more regular washing. My moods have improved massively! I generally feel a lot more stable, energetic and positive, and people have commented on how much better I seem. Very positive experience overall, just hoping it continues!
Very positive mood
