Lucette pill - Combined Pill

Went on this after a negative experience with prolonged bleeding on Cerazette and I'd already taken it before. It stopped the bleeding which I was grateful for but I've noticed that my withdrawal bleeds cause extremely painful lower back cramps. This has come as a huge shock since I've never experienced period pain this debilitating on or off the pill. I've also been told by a doctor that I have cervical erosion which is often caused by the combined pill and can cause painful sex and bleeding afterwards and these symptoms have stuck around for months. And horrible mood swings and unpredictable anxiety that sometimes feels resistant to therapy is just the icing on the cake. Would not recommend if you're as sensitive to estrogen as I clearly am!
