Just had my first consultation and have swapped from microgygnon to desogestrel.
Been told to try this for 4 months and if it doesn’t help the next step would be the key hole surgery.
Anyone had experience on this tablet? Did it stop periods completely?
This worked the most for me but it didn’t stop me completely bleeding. I’d have spotting ever 2-3 weeks whereas before I went on the mini pill I was bleeding more than I wasn’t bleeding.
Definitely give it a go! If it doesn’t work it’s a thing that’s ticked of the list. Good luck xx
I have been on this pill on and off for about 10 years. Thankfully it completely stopped my periods! And it’s not until the last 6 months that I have been experiencing pain whilst on this pill.
Only thing I really hate about it is that it can some times give pregnancy symptoms! And with the absence of periods as an indicator I go through a lot of pregnancy tests!
Thank you! Really appreciate it and feel like if it turns out to really not work for me that I can say no I don’t want to continue. I’m not happy though as after googling the pill it’s not 100% that it will stop my periods and the consultant said it defo would. I said I couldn’t afford to be having horrible side effects and random bleeding when I’m in my last 3 months of my masters degree!
I was pushing for key hole, I said I was sick of it and need to know. I would be terrified to go through with it but feel unless I have a definite diagnosis my family who really don’t fully understand and work won’t take me seriously.
I was on that pill for 6 years. It was the best thing for me! Stopped my periods completely and I had no side effects. I reacted badly to microgynon so it just shows that we all respond differently to different pills. I definitely recommend trying it and seeing how you get on.
I have to agree with Rose i am on this pill at the moment and it has definitely helped. However 6 months in I have also had a month long period. I will be seeing my consultant this month who can hopefully recommend an alternative. Worth a try good luck x
