Not bad but increased anxiety being on the pill, acne was better and cramps and more regular periods you’d know when they are coming which was good but being on it for awhile increased my anxiety.

Coming off contraception
The effects coming off weren’t bad sometimes dizziness nauseous some acne but months later I’d say 4-5 months hair shedding started excessively it’s worrying and I’m not sure how long it can go on hopefully it’ll be over soon.

It sounds like you have endometriosis? A copper coil wouldn't cause the shooting pain down your legs and a sore back like that - these are classic endometriosis symptoms, in addition to extremely painful periods. Bleeding through clothes is also likely to be endometriosis or adenomyosis, periods should not cause you to be bedridden, exhausted, sick or faint - that's endo. I. have endometriosis myself and I've had the copper coil for 10 years. My periods massively improved after having specialist excision surgery to remove my endometriosis. It's all to do with the copper coil.

Went on Yasmin for helping acne and breakthrough bleeding. Completely cleared my skin. I did have a full heavy period for 3 weeks out of 4. Waited out incase it would go away. It did not

I loved this for helping prevent migraines (taking continuously) and helping even out my moods. But I just realized it is probably what is causing my hair loss. Looking to change to a lower androgen pill like Yasmin

The only side effects for me personally, is when every time I am starting the first hormonal pill again after the placebo week, I wake up very nauseous. But on the second day your body should adjust to it again and it will go away. Other ones is decreased sex drive, slight vagina, dryness, and I also cry more often. Other than that, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. So I like this one.

I've been continuously cycling with these pills (skipping periods) and I've found a lot of my period and pre-period symptoms have improved! My doctor recommended this because of my PMDD and hormonal acne and I've found that both are easier to manage on this pill.

The pill was a great experience for me. I’d recommend it if you are someone capable of remembering to take it at the same time everyday. Also, I always know exactly when my period will be. Acne went away and no major side effects. The only potential negative is you have to deal with pharmacies and getting your prescription renewed regularly. I’m about to start a demanding job and am switching to an IUD for convenience.
