Dorothy - all the best for your interview. Let us know how it goes.
GRL - I'm really hoping this works for you. I know a number of people who took Microgynon and found it affected their mood. (In fact we had an interesting talk about this at work today - we ended up questioning how many people have unnecessarily ended up on ADs as a result of not questioning the BCPs prescribed). That's why I got so obsessed with the (NHS) Avon pill ladder - I was determined to take one with a more estrogenic progesterone (not that the research did me any good). If you think about it, even the Mirena causes adverse mood effects in some people, so taking the same prog in oral form will inevitably have at least similar effects, if not greater. Hopefully this new prog will be kinder. I know reviews can be misleading, but there's lots on Mumsnet about both the pills you've taken. Marvelon seems to come out best! X
