I took Microgynon 30 and it made me seriously moody!! and am on Loestrin now, as I changed from Cilest as it made me feel sick constantly as it has such a high oestrogen level.. but everybody reacts differentlt.. I'd give it a month and if you don't feel right, definitely go back... its just trial and error! don't be scared to complain to your doctor!

You have been prescribed to take the Cilest Pill to regulate your periods you have started today should you still take them or leave them to next month?
you are supposed to begin taking cilest on the first day of your period. Then you are protected from day one.
What are the side effects of cilest pill?
I have been on cilest for 3 years and havn't experienced any symptoms from it so far. It is meant to be one of the best pills to be on and from being on several before I totally agree with this. I used to get really sore heads and bad moods on previous ones but in my view cilest is the best pill.
Can you take amitriptyline tablets with cilest pill?
There are no known drug interactions between amitriptyline and birth control pills.
Is it ok to take two packs of Cilest with no pill-free weeks in between?
I don't know anything about Cilest, but any pill pack can be taken back to back while skipping the placebo week. It's beneficial for going on vacation or if your period comes during a week where it's really inconvenient.
Are there any side effects of coming off cilest?
I was put on Cilest by my doctor due to extremely painful and irreglar periods. Since I have been put on it, I've experienced massive mood swings and an outburst of acne which I have never had a problem with before. As well as this I have experienced a huge weight gain of about 1.5stone. Since I have been exercising alot and eating healthily I cannot put it down to anything else, and the pain didn't change either. Now I'm worried that after stopping taking Cilest will my weight go back to normal or will it increase further and will there be any changes to my mood, skin or pain? HELP!!
You are on the pill but your period is 4 days late.?
i am taking Cilest but forgot to take one pill on the day 13 and now late 4 days in my free week
Can you stop taking cilest 4 days early and take it on 7 days time?
Take it as directed to make sure that it acts properly as a contraceptive. Check in with your doctor if you want to change your cycle.
Been on cilest birth pill for 3 months im now on my pill free week was meant to start my period on monday its now wed still no period whats wrong?
You just have to wait. it will eventually come, well fingers crossed that is!!
I'm on day 4 of my pill free week on Cilest and haven't come on. I'm not sure I've taken all pills correctly. Can anyone tell me how many days into their pill free week they tend to get their period?
i usually come on around about the 2nd or third day, although it is my third day of pill free week now and i still havent come on :S it should be ok it being day 4 but if u dont come on at all go see a nurse :D U WILL BE FINE :D
Are all the pills in the pack identical?
Not to my knowledge. I believe each pill contains a different level of synthetic progesterone and estrogen to speficially control the way your body reacts to the hormones - hence the lay out of the pill packs. Each pill is meant to be taken around the same time, each day, in order. So skipping around and taking a Saturday pill on Monday isn't a good idea. However, if you lost a pill, it might be better for you to take the pill intended for the next day and continue from that day as you would normally rather than miss a day completely. It depends on the pill brand. Yaz, Tricyclen, Estrostep, and Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 are all examples of pills with non-identical pills; some of these have as many as four different formulations in the same pack, counting the placebos. Check the instruction book that comes with each pack for more information. Ive been on the pill for nearly 6 years now. I have used Microgynon (cant remember how to spell it) Dianete and Cilest and with all these the pills are identical and I havent yet heard of a pill where they are different, so if u accidentally take a different day there is nothing to worry about. Any pills with 'tri' in the name are different. They have different doses every week. These are also the only pills that I have heard that you cannot take continuously to intentionally skip a period.
