I never knew the pill could make me feel so ill!

Hi folks, has anyone had a similar experience to mine? I had endo removed during laparoscopy in March, and the next two periods were dreadful. However, inbetween them I felt really well. I then was put on Rigevidon and told to run three packs back to back. By the middle of the second pack I was bleeding and getting back pain. I then was switched to a mini pill, Desogestrel, (that was three days ago), and now my insides feel they're being shredded, my uterus feels like it's full of glass, and the bleeding is as heavy as it would be if I was on my natural period. I've taken the decision to stop taking it for a while, to see if things settle down again. I can't continue working in this much pain and having sleepless nights. Also, I've been waiting to have the Merina coil fitted for 12 weeks. Can the coil suit people even when the pill hasn't? Thanks x
