I really discourage anyone from trying this pill, I think its just too high of a dose. I was on for 3 months and noticed immediate headaches which coincided with nausea. This continued all throughout the 3 months and made me feel so ill I had to stop taking it. Its so rough. I couldn't stand it but gave it my best shot. I did lose some water weight initially, but eventually started gaining weight because it messed with my blood sugar and this just made me CRAVE sugar and put weight back on. Awful. I am going back on Noriday (norethisterone mini pill) because although I get a bit of water weight on it, I dont have ANY other side effects and my libido is also not affected (unlike Slynd) so overall it feels healthier and more stable than Slynd.

I had break through bleeding for about the first 4 months. After my period stopped completely. I'm a bit more tired, but no depression or mood swings.

I do have a heart problem hence as to why my obgyn has switched me to a progestin only bc. I do like that i dont get my period anymore but i HATE the vaginal dryness. Im considering moving on to something else because i cant take it anymore honestly.
