I’ve been reading loads of old threads on this but wanted to post a new one to get some recent experiences. I’m reading a lot of negative experiences particularly revolving around mood, acne and bloating. Weighing up the negatives/positives. I’ve ordered the
medication but still debating taking them or not. I’m due on 3 days into a 10 day holiday abroad.
Has anyone taken these recently and had a positive experience?

Thanks. 😀

They made me absolutely psychotic. Honestly I was on them 5 days and if I didn’t have the most patient husband I could have blown up my marriage. I will state though that I was very sensitive to the pill and had to come off that due to mood swings and depressive moods, so maybe if you’ve been ok on hormonal contraception that’s a sign you won’t be as sensitive as I was!

We’ve used them twice for DD and they were fine: she is refusing to use them again as the last time her period after was quite heavy.
