Been on this pill for a few years and absolutely loving it. I’ve previously been on a different pill and had the implant both of which I felt made me crazy. This one makes me feel the most myself I don’t have a fault to say about it at all!

As someone who experienced heavy and long periods, this pill helped to shorten the amount of days (from 7+ down to 5) and helped ensure regular periods to plan around. As I took this pill for 12+ years, I have recently decided to take a break

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.
