I was on microgynon in the UK as a teen, like you I was trying to relieve awful periods. After feeling ill for a long time I finally got bloods taken by the doctor, on the return my liver enzymes were raised a LOT and I was sent for an ultrasound. It was pretty bad at the time, but thankfully for me, I was able to stop the pill quick enough to bring my levels back to normal. Steering clear of oestrogen pills has helped me no end, the POP pill has been a saviour!
I'm lucky they caught mine early. It should definately be reviewed more often in any woman who takes the pill!!
