I’m currently on Yasmin (UK) and have been for nearly two years now. I’m on my last month of pills before I need to get a repeat but I want to change.

I have a history of depression and my mood gets particularly bad around the time of my period. At first I thought it was just general period stuff but after speaking to some friends they also experience bigger mood swings once on the pill. Looking back on it now it seems like most times I’ve been really bad (ie been explosive, impulsive etc) have been around the time of my period.

Taking the pill at the same time daily isn’t always that easy either (as I also struggle with an eating disorder). I want to switch to something like the implant/injection etc but I wanted to know what other people have experienced in terms of mood and such like - has anyone else been in a similar situation and have some advice? Thanks
