Experiences with

Marvelon

The pill I am on now (Marvelon) was controlling my bleeding pre-surgery, but it's really affected my mood. I feel angry and snappy most of the time and it's effecting my marriage now.

I currently have the contraceptive implant which shes recommended I have removed and begin taking Marvelon to help with hair growth. But what about the increased hba1c? I'm literally terrified of becoming diabetic. It makes me so anxious. Hence being up at 5.30am writing this.

Coil now removed and back on marvelon pill. Waiting to see gynae again for laparoscopy, will she need lots of time off work/high jump after this procedure?? Feel so sorry for her. Why do these things take so long. Thanks for advice ladies. Xx

Hi lovely ladies, After laparoscopy surgery my doctor prescribed Marvelon pill for 1 month, I stopped it 5 days ago and waiting for my period to start my next FET but period didn't show up yet 😣 Do you have any idea how many days it takes for period to start after pill?

I did this and then around pack 3 I was bleeding and bleeding (I was on first marvelon then gedarel) I came off them for a while and the bleeding stopped. I waited for a normal period to come and I was put on microgynob. After 5 days I got thrush and stopped it.

I’ve been on marvelon combined pill for years so I’m well over the side effects, the only issue I have with it is that I could only stop my period for 9 weeks at a time and then I would have horrific pain the week afterwards.

I was having horrendous post period pain when tri-cycling my combined pill (marvelon) which lasted about a week and left me crying when I tried to pee, so I was pretty miserable. My endo specialist said I need a progesterone only form of contraception (not the mini pill as it's not strong enough).

I ended up on Marvelon and bloody loved it. I always took 3 packets back to back with a one week break after the third. Then one day at age 23, (after 5 years of Marvelon), I just started bleeding before the end of the third packet.

I am on marvelon and have my decapeptyl injection on Monday. This will be followed by stopping the pill later next week, then first lining scan on the following Monday along with taking the progynova. The protocol this time is the same however I seem to have more meds to take. Eeek.

Does anyone know if their endometrioma pain got better being on the pill (marvelon)? I have pressure in my bum all the time and just this constant sharp pain where the endometrioma is. It's really getting me down and I just want it out but gyn wants to try 3 months constant birth control pill.

I was previously on Microgynon for 6 months and experienced spotting throughout the course of my pill, so the doctor put me on Marvelon and since I started my strip I’ve had non stop random breakthrough bleeding that varies in heaviness.

I've tried two different brands, Marvelon (low dose) and Yasmin which I'm currently on. I also started taking multivitamins— no difference. This has been really frustrating because I can't figure out how to "fix" it.

I'm already on the marvelon pill but it isn't helping😓

Questions to ask etc I'm currently taking marvelon which also has helped slightly. My ultrasound was unremarkable.

At that point I started to develop other pain related symptoms which have increased as time has gone by (I am still on Marvelon).

My gynae suggested I change my pill from marvelon to Celeste however I am not over convinced this will change. I have also had toncilitus and have started taking pencillin antibiotics as i have had it for four days.

Hi, I ve been prescribed marvelon couple of weeks ago but noticed that you can't take it if you are lactose intolerant ....so i went back and the doctor gave me rigevidon. Now since I have read about it online, its pretty clear that it shouldn't be for people with pcos? What do I do? Thank you

I have been told to take the pill (Marvelon) continuously. They said some people might break through and when this happens to stop the pill for 4 days then start again. Apparently some people break through after a couple of months but for some people it can be 6months - 1 year.

Hi guys Really sorry to post such a dumb question but it's been 10 years since i last took the pill & it wasn't Marvelon!! Got to start this tonite in build up to my fet! It says start on correctly labelled day on pack but I can only see sat & sun labelled (& not in English!!)!

I am currently taking Marvelon contraceptive pill for 2 months at a time, which is helping, and i have radically changed my diet. Any advice, tips, suggestions would be MOST appreciated.
