Marvelon Pill - Problems anyone?

Does anyone who takes Marvelon Contraceptive Pill have problems with it?

I've been on it since I stopped breastfeeding about 7 months ago.

The last three months though I have been having stomach problems, increased IBS symptoms, mood swings, hot flushes, no libido, weight gain and general hormonal lows.

TBH half the time my body seems convinced that I'm pregnant.

Has this happened to anyone else? I also have PCOS is that's relevant.

Thed whole point of the pill is to make your body believe it's pregnant I got very depressed on Marvelon. I switched to Celeste and still had problems. So far I haven't found a pill that doesn't make me feel unlike myself iykwim

had to stop Marvelon as it made symptoms worse.GP didn't look surprised when i turned up weeping.

But it's supposed to believe it silently, not provide me with all the symptoms
