So nice to hear some good news on here
Also, it's personally nice for me to hear too as I tried Microgynon, back to back with the packs, for 3 months but I was still getting my symptoms breaking through (mainly anxiety and low mood, but also insomnia).
After seeing Briony's incredibly useful posts about the Avon Ladder I realised I might need something more oestrogen dominant. I believe I have been used to higher than average oestrogen levels prior to peri menopause, so HRT was never going to be enough to control my hormonal fluctuations. The extreme mood swings have been horrendous.
Microgynon was an improvement on HRT but still not enough. Plus I had daily, constant spotting which was annoying. I have just changed to Gederal (Marvelon) in the hope it will suit me better.
Can I ask which brand you have changed to?
