What our users say

I think Fettle is great. Every time I’ve tried to get contraception by other means it feels quite over complicated and I get very anxious about whether I will get the pill on time. Fettle has reduced this anxiety significantly and is definitely my new go to means of getting the pill. I’m very grateful for the service.

I've been taking the Levest pill since I was 16 to help with my heavy and irregular periods.

I'm on Levest and I'm fine. I know someone who had problems with it, but everyone is different.

About Levest

How to take Levest

Take one tablet per day, for 21 days. There are 21 pills per pack.
You can use the pill to control when, and how often, you bleed. You can have a regular bleed by taking a 7-day break from the pill between each pack. Or you might want to avoid bleeding completely by continuing onto the next pack without a break.

If you do have a break, you’re still covered for contraception as long as you’ve been taking it every day and you start your next packet 7 days later.

When to try Levest
