I have been on this pill for about 10 months now and I hate it. Normally, I am a bubbly person but I have not been myself for months now, having constant mood swings and arguments with my boyfriend. I feel like it has totally messed up my head and bringing me down constantly. For the first two periods I had, I bled continuously for several weeks but that has calmed down to now only the odd spotting- this seems to be the only benefit but others would be against the no period idea. I cannot take oestrogen so I am wondering if anyone takes an alternative to the mini pill.
