Hi all,

Just got back from the docs. He's put me on a new pill called cilest as the other one I was on was turning me all weird, (hot flushes, not sleeping, mood swings etc)

Anyone else been on this one?

Xx

Hi there

Everyone is different but I was on cilest from age 16 for 11 years without issue. I came off it 3 years ago and that's when my problems started again. Going back on it didn't make a difference as was bleeding every day so am now on implant and hrt temporarily.

If it works for you it's a godsend!

That's really good to know. I was speaking to my big sister earlier too and she was on it also for years without problems. She's only come off it now because of her age (she's 41) she also has endometriosis so I'm very hopeful it could just be my wonder drug xx
