Medication discontinued!

Hi I was diagnosed with endo 20 yrs ago. The last 2 yrs have been particularly bad with heavy, constant bleeding, cysts, adenomyosis and fibroids too. Due to significant scarring from c sections we are having to manage this with hormones. After 18 months I found cliest worked for me. I've had one month relatively pain free and hardly any bleeding. I've just found out they've discontinue this though. I'm in pieces. Already the pain has started again, had to try a substitute pill, and expect bleeding will follow shortly too. I'm at a total loss as to what to do and docs/ pharmacy being no help. Sorry to rant bit I'm so upset and don't know what to do.

Hello I've had the same but with a different pill. Check to see if your new pill contains the same amounts and the same active ingredients. As alot of pills have nonbrand version just like paracetamol you can get a name brand like panadol or just own brand so long as the active ingredients are the same it should work exactly the same.

Unfortunately for me mine didn't have an alternative so I've gone down the coil route to see if it helps.
