Review of Dianette Contraceptive Pill

Side effects

Cerazette Almost Ruined My Life

Advantages: Clear skin
Disadvantages: Weight gain, violent mood swings, spotting, impatient, stressed & on edge whole time

I was on Cerazette two years ago and had bad experiences. Doctor urged me to give it another try so have been taking it past two months. Same thing happened again. I became another person. Violent mood swings.....shouting at my kids for petty things......NO SEX DRIVE whatsoever. Almost finished my relationship as I couldn't bear to be touched and almost felt like I hated him for no reason. I put on weight as constantly hungry. Would start bleeding ...
...it is this pill. Stopped four days ago and have been taking B Vitamin complex tablets. Feel so much better already. Can't believe I even took it again after last time. I know that not everybody will have these side effects but for me it almost ruined my life. I now have to find a contraceptive that agrees with me. ...

Review of Marvelon Contraceptive Pill

Side effects

Microgynon - My horrible three years.

Advantages: It stopped me from getting pregnant, it is an easy method of contraception
Disadvantages: Extreme mood swings, lack of motivation, increase of migranes, depression.

I began taking this pill when I was 18 as I went to the doctors to get on the pill. I wasn't aware at the time that there were so many different kinds of combined pill. I found the pill very easy to use and took it religiously, every day at the same time, without fail. (Which is the best way to get its full effectiveness). I continued on this pill for three years, over the three years my asthma worsened severely, I had never had an asthma attack ...
...three whilst on this pill. Although, my doctor pointed out that there are plenty of asthmatics on this pill and do not have any problems with it. However, I feel, in my experience, there was a direct link, as since coming off this pill my asthma has gotten better. The worse thing I experienced on this pill was becoming depressed and having vile mood swings. To be honest, its something that I didn't notice for about three years, I just figured I was ...

Review of Microgynon Contraceptive Pill

Side effects

Does what it says but becareful, the side effects can be painful!

Advantages: You won't get pregnant
Disadvantages: So many!! Difficult to remove, longer heavier periods, headaches, vomiting, bloating...

The implant was recommended to me by my GP because it lasts 3 years and you do not have to worry about remembering to take a pill daily. It does what it says,you wouldn't get pregnant. But Iike most contraceptives what works for someone, does not necessarily work for another person. After two months, I started to notice I was bloated, gaining weight , vomiting during my periods and having heavier longer periods. One period lasted three weeks. I thought ...
...left it, thinking things would get better. Boy was I wrong. One thing they don't tell you is that the implant is very difficult to get out, it is the size of a match stick and not all doctors are willingly to take it out. After 6 months I found a doctor who took it out. He said it was placed dangerously close to a nerve in my left arm. It took 20 minutes and to be honest was very uncomfortable. I had also developed a cyst in my uterus and a fibroid ...
