Overall a very positive experience. My main issue is loss of sex drive but every time I’ve attempted to change, the others haven’t agreed with me and I’ve reverted back to Rigevidon.

I was on Cilest originally, and then swapped to Cilique and very recently they have had a supply issue and so switched onto Lizinna. I missed one pill last month (due to not collecting prescription on time) and then spotted consistently until I had a 7 day break and had a “period.” A week back on it now since the break and so far so good and no noticeable changes from using Cilique.
