Experience

I had irregular periods before I started this pill, and it helped stabilise them. I gained weight, I started noticing that my emotional state was always completely negative, I would burst into tears for no reason, I had suicidal thoughts and I just really wanted everything to stop. I pulled myself off of the pill and it took 9 months before my body decided to have a period again, so I was wracked with paranoia that I could have been pregnant despite not even touching a boy for months. I’ve been so scared to put myself on another pill in case the same happened
