Mini pill made me worse

Hi all,

My endometriosis has been pretty manageable since about September last year. I had an appointment with my gyno in June as my period was totally unbearable for 1-2 days each month but other than that no issues.

They prescribed me cerazette to try and stop my periods and stop the pain.. this had the reverse effect and made me constantly bleed. I lasted 2 months of this and stopped taking it. Since then I have had a period every other week and the pain is ridiculous I have had pain 15 days out of 30 in the last month.

So my question after my long ramble is could the pill have made me worse?

Hello yes not all pills work for all women. Unfortunately there isn't a test to see quick will work for you it's more trial and error to find one which you get on with

I have had to try so many pills before finding one that works for me, I bled continuously on most of them. I saw a contraception specialist who recommended desogestrel.. aka cerelle. Doesn’t stop my pain completely but I haven’t bled at all for 5 months
