I started taking this pill after years on Yasmin. I thought lower hormones would mean less symptoms. I struggled constantly with UTIs on this pill that antibiotics would not cute. Despite my doctor saying it was unrelated to the pill, when I stopped, they stopped. Also, if you don’t think the pill affects your mental health, I highly suggest taking a long break from taking them and then start again. I realized that the majority of my mental health issues were excasperated by the pill. Sometimes the symptoms come on so subtly that you don’t notice them. Being on hormonal contraceptives for over ten years, I feel like I wasted many years of my life suffering extreme anxiety and massive mood swings that tore apart relationships. My 7 month break from bcp made me realize how much better I could feel. I switched to natural cycles and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and my relationship.
