Logynon Contraceptive Pill

I started taking this combined pill when I was 16. It is a daily contraceptive pill that is split into three colours tablets. The different coloured tablets have different levels of hormone, for different times in your menstrual cycle, giving you only the higher dose in the middle of your cycle when you are the most likely to be fertile.
