I tried Cerelle for 6 months and did nothing but bleed and spot the whole time. It was given to me under the advice of it stopping my periods completely, but have since found out that the mini pill is rubbish for that. I'm taking the combination pill now, back to back for 3 months with a weeks break. I was told that for periods to stop completely there has to be oestrogen too, hence now on the combi pill. I'd never go back on the mini pill. I was the same on the depo provera injection, but that's progesterone only too I think. I'm taking Rigevidon. Can't say whether it's good or not as only just finishing my first month x

Do you have endometriosis as I was told by my specialist that he wouldn’t want to to really put me on it as it may aggravate my endometriosis x

Im on Yasmin back to back for 3 months and then I have a period. My surgeon told me this would be the only option as I don’t want the coil. Yasmin is the only pill that has been relatively kind to me, I still have really bad pain and heavy bleeding on this but its not as bad as it has been on all the other pills I’ve been on. Hope this helps x
