Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Lindynette 20 as an oral contraceptive. It contains combination of Gestodene and ethinyl estradiol. Protection offered against pregnancy by use of such pills regularly is about 99%. In case you have missed intake of pills regularly, there are chances of getting pregnant.
What problems you are experiencing could be due to side effects caused due to use of birth control pills.
Most birth control pills have the same side effects and it is only the individual-specific response that decides the different side effects that are experienced.
Hence, since all birth control pills could have such side effects, you can consult Gynecologist to get evaluated the one which suits you best with least or no side effects that could be tried and chosen for permanent use.
In case you are doubting about being pregnant, kindly take a urine pregnancy test to make sure what could be the status.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
