Gedarel 30/150 pill - Combined Pill
I took the 3x pack back to back to help with suspected endometriosis. After about 5 months I felt it was really impacting my mood. I felt really flat all the time and really down. As soon as I came off the pill I felt so much better and lost quite a bit of bloating weight. I would not recommend this contraceptive. Following this I got the hormonal coil fitted which has been so much better
