Experience

Difficult to monitor when on for a long period of time. I found Yasmin previously better for my skin but when I was changed to Lucette (what I understand was a cheaper replacement) I didn’t see significant other changes (other than my skin) Since coming off contraception (in an attempt to conceive) I have had significant issues with my skin, which has improved 7 months on… I have noticed my cramps being significantly worse, more lethargy, headaches during my periods and heavier bleeding.
