We all hear about the side effects of the pill.
Weight gain
Hair growth
Moods etc....etc...

BUT
Has anyone ever felt that the pill has actually improved their life, well being.
The above symptoms have improved whilst you've been on the pill.
Weightloss?
Better mood
Less facial hair etc.

My mood has been fine. And because I'm not having a period, I'm not getting the pains I used to get with my period. (migraine, back pain, pain down below, etc)

Not the pill, but my PMT has improved massively with a Mirena coil.

Not the pill but technically the same hormones as the mini pill. Getting the implant drastically helped my anxiety

The pill improved my skin so much..

Was not worth the awful mood swings though so I came off.

When I look at old photos I miss that skin.

I like the Pill. I run packs together so don't have a period.

I used to have heavy, painful periods.

My mood is stable across the month.
Skin clear, no hormonal acne.
No pain, diarrhea etc. during period.
No expense on tampons/pads/painkillers/ruined clothes.
No concerns about swimming or holidays etc. (I like to go scuba diving on boats with minimal toilet facilities)

My skin. I've never had terrible skin, but was on the pill throughout my teens so I think that's why. Whenever I've came off it to TTC, my skin has gone awful. I'm pregnant again now and skin cleared up immediately so it's definitely all hormonal.
