Does anyone have any experience of Marvalon

Just after a bit of feedback/opinion really, I have been on 5 different brands of the pill in the last 15 months with varying problems, saw my doctor last night after stopping taking microgynon 2 weeks ago and feeling much better, but she has suggested I take a break to let everything sort itself out and then maybe try Marvalon in a couple of months.

I know that everyone is different, and what affects 1 person will not be the same for others but I am just intererested in any thoughts/views/experiences from others.

Many thanks !

I took Marvelon years ago, while at university.
It suited me well and I had no issues or problems with it.

I am now on Mercilon, which is, I believe, very similar but just has a lower dose of the hormones.
I've had no problems with this one either.

I take Marvelon after years( pre dd's )of taking Microgynon.I get on fine with it ,the only change i have noticed ,and this could be coincidence ,is that my periods are heavier.

I'm on marvelon. my periods are very, very light now - only some spotting for a couple of days really. I've been mostly fine on it although I do find that just before my 'break' I get incredibly tearful. Back when I wasn't on the pill, I would get irritable in the days leading up to my period - which still happens on marvelon - but the horrible nausea and depression I used to get has been replaced by floods of tears for a couple of days. Not sure which I prefer actually!

Overall it's a good'un.
