This was prescribed to me to help regulate my periods; however did the complete opposite and have made them worse. I have no clue when my periods are going to begin or end now, as well as if the bleeding will be light spotting or extremely heavy. I have become incredibly sensitive to many things that would never have bothered me pre-pill, as well have been bed bound due to negative mood changes that I have no explanation for. I have been sad before, however, these feelings I could not explain or combat so I have decided to switch pill.

I was only on this for a month, no issues at the beginning, however gradually my mood worsened and I began getting very severe cramps and heavy bleeding. Checked with a doctor and was due to the pill not being strong enough for myself personally.

This is the worst pill I have ever taken. Avoid at all costs!! Within the first week, I was experiencing nausea, fatigue, insomnia, extreme low mood/depression (which I hadn't been experiencing before), huge increase in anxiety, extremely tender breasts, loss of sex drive and non-stop bleeding - every single day (way more than just spotting). I hated every moment of being on this pill and could not wait to change contraceptive method. I had hoped that a 'low hormone' pill would have come with fewer side effects, but this pill has given me worse and more extreme side effects than any other contraceptive method I have ever used. Do yourself a favour and avoid this pill.
