Oooooh, Yasmin. I took it for about 6 months but couldn't stand the mood swings and the fact that it made the sides of my boobs so sore that I could not wear a bra. I have also read that it has been linked to a higher incidence of heart trouble...it did cause me to experience a tightness in my chest and higher anxiety levels (at first I thought it was just stress, but those symptoms miraculously disappeared once I switched pills). Moral of the story is that everybody reacts differently to different types of pills, and I'm glad you found one that works for you even though it wasn't my cup of tea. Personally, I think Estrostep FE is pretty nifty...no sore boobs, shorter & lighter periods, no mood swings (so far, anyway, after almost a year)...it's nice.
