Just been to my GP to change my pill. Was on marvelon for 6 months post DD and felt awful. Had 8 days feeling like me, then 4 days of anxiety, depressed, REALLY weepy, wondering whether I was getting PND, really snappy and irritable (so much so that even my mum commented) then started bleeding - having periods that were 2.5 weeks long. then back to the beginning.
At first I thought the bleeding would settle down. It didnt.
I also didnt connect the weepy/crappiness with hormonal stuff as it happened mid-packet so I thought I was just going mad. Finally worked out that it must be the pill.
GP not very helpful - her comment was well if Marvelon doesnt work for you then its unlikely any pill will. Great
She has put me on Femodene so will try that.
Have looked on MN and most people loved Marvelon - those of you that hated iot - what worked for you?
Also, just looked at fpa site and now wondering about the patch - any experiences of people finding that eaiser than marvelon?
GP was pushing mirena but I really dont want that. At least with pills if they screw me up I can stop taking them easily.
Oh, and have no sex drive :( hoping a change of pill might change that.
