Loestrin 30 pill

Moving to Loestrin 30 from Rigevidon was a huge change, I felt much better on loestrin 30. But after a few months, my moods began to drop again and I felt as though I was a muted version of myself. Issues with my skin, complete loss of sex drive and lack of motivation for life. This experience convinced me to stop using hormonal contraceptives altogether.

Automatic change in moods to feeling much more positive. Some unwanted affects going on in my body eg tiredness, headaches, spots and nausea. Have since had the copper coil fitted and feel much better/more secure with this form of contraception.
