Which pill are you on?

Hey ladies! I’m currently on the combined pill ‘Rigevidon’, after being on it for 2 months and a week (without a break as advised by my Dr) I’ve had a period whilst being on it - accompanied by leg cramps, back pain & pelvic cramps. I’m now due to speak to my Dr on Friday.

Just wondering which type of pill people take & how do you find your periods being on it? I was thinking of switching to a progesterone only pill, GPS seem clueless so I tend to come here for advice lol! Pushing for a referral for now, thanks in advance 😊

Hi I’m on combined pill called femodette and luckily I’m happy with it!!! Periods are still a little painful but a lot better since being on it the pains are not as bad and not as heavy x

I'm on the combined pill (gederal) after progesterone only methods made me horribly ill. My periods are more manageable since I've been on it... But everyone is different. Hope you find something that world for you soon 💕

Hi i use a double dose of desogestrel which is progesterone only pill. It has really helped me but took quite a while to see the full results of almost stopping my periods, i use without taking a break.

Hope you find the right pill for you x
