I used to be on Yaz when I lived in Ireland however that was not available in the UK so I was given this, which is apparently the same pill by the same company with just a different name and packaging. I've been on it 4 years now and no adverse side effects at all, I don't notice that I am on it. I used to get acne as a teenager but this pill has made me never get any breakouts at all, my skin is really good which is the main reason I like this pill a lot and will continue to use it. I take it continuously so I don't get the bleeds, but when I used to have the break it was just very light spotting, barely a period if you could call it that. I only needed to use very light pantyliners. I had some spotting when I started initially for about 2 months when I started taking it continuously but that completely stopped after that and I never have any bleeding issues. I have not had any issues with weight gain or headaches or mood etc. The only effect that I did notice is that I have barely any libido at all. This does not bother me personally, buy for those considering this pill it would be something to think about if considering this pill. The big benefit for for was clear glowing skin, it's better than harsh acne treatments like Roaccutane without all the peeling and dryness. I would highly recommend this pill for anyone who wants contraception that also tackles acne at a lower oestrogen dose and a shorter 4 day pill break rather than 7 days.
