I was on this pill just shy of a month. I was bloating on the first day of use. I noticed the first week my mental state was horrible very agitated, flat and no energy. I did notice after the first few weeks my skin was definitely clearing up. I get hormonal acne. I had reduced hair loss (from endometriosis) and no ovulation pain. 3rd week in I started to get a sharp pain in the calf. Subsided then came back worse. So decided to stop taking it all together because leg pain wasn't worth the possibility of a blood clot. Three days off the pill the leg pain completely disappeared. Definitely was not the pill for me. Cons- Low mood Low sex drive Joint pain Sore lower back Constant bloating Extreme calf pain Insomnia Nausea Chest hypertension Pros- Clearer skin Less hair loss No ovulation pain

As this is a newish pill and one which is a bit more pricey and supposed to be good for people who struggle with hormones... I was really hoping this was going to be my new pill! Sadly I found this pill to really affect my mental health more than a lot of the others I have tried. I personally have tried many many of the combined pills will the hope to find something which firstly controls my periods a bit better, doesn't affect my mood, and doesn't affect my libido. With Zoely I got all the standard issues such as a lower bad back, and some light cramping... These things I can take or leave it's not the end of the world. As the hormones are different over the course of the month, I could 100% tell when the hormones were stronger. On those days I went into a very 'numb' emotional state, then a few days later I was emotionally upset and weirdly I had no reason why!
