Microgynon 30 pill - Combined Pill

I used this pill for 12 years, a break each time I prepared to get pregnant (3 pregnancies with no issues) and during the early years it was fine. I noticed depression, anxiety and loss of sexual interest in the last 5 years. Breast tenderness was awful, tiredness extreme and acne was so painful. I lost the person who I used to be.
