started using on 17th of February 2021, about 5 days later I started bleeding like i had my usual period even tho i wasn’t near the date, it is now the 26th march 2021 and I’m still spotting, it normally stops a bit until i do exercise then it comes back. Really bad bloating & cramps on right lower side.

I suggest that you don’t take the pill as it has a lot of side effects and you will not realise that it’s due to the contraceptive pill. I stopped the pill for one week just to check if the breast pain and headache was due to the pill. I restarted it because my periods started and they were extremely heavy . The lockdown didn’t help as couldn’t get appointment. Finally informed nurse and left tablet.

Was worried mostly about if this would make me gain weight and lose my sex drive. I haven’t noticed any of these side effects. However, I have been lightly bleeding the full time I’ve been on it (just over one month) but this may be my body getting used to it. Also, this pill gave me thrush however I am very prone to it.
