Period light but clots

[astrocat]

Does anyone else get this? I am on desogestrel, which has made my periods MUCH lighter. However, I still get quite a bit of pain, and the first few days of my period I am passing only clots (not really any "liquid blood"). Do you know why this might be? I have stage 4 endo and adeno, as well as an endometrioma - am waiting for surgery.

I tried this pill for three months and bleed constantly on it. The GP told me it was everything breaking down and said it's not unusual to bleed for six months. If your worried get things checked with GP just to be sure.

Thanks, yes I bled for the first 3-4 months but that has settled down a bit now. Just find it strange that I am getting so many clots when the overall volume of blood is quite low (I used to get clots, but mainly on really heavy days).

Best to get it checked out to but your mind at ease. It might still be things breaking down or just the normal for you. Take care
