I was given it by my gp a while ago and to be honest was not fully ok with taking it,,
Ive heavy acheing lumpy periods after having my second child naturally and was given this to help with this, only thing is I was a walking hormone ready to explode.
my moods were angry and quick tempered and I instantly stopped taking them only a few days in..
I hate being hormonal and moody and I now my poor family hates it too so is there any contraceptive that doesn't cause this and weight gain? or did I give up to quick? and should I try it again but let it be in my system a little longer to see if it balances itself out?
sorry it's long :[
it's been a while taking contraception...

I think you didn't give it long enough. I was a weepy cross mess for about three weeks, but now I can honestly say it's the best contraception I've used.

Yes I would try it longer too. A few days really isn't long enough to let your system get used to it - it will upset your hormones for a while, then it should balance out.

I'd give it three months, barring any major side effects, and see how you go.
