Hello I’ve been on rigevidon for 2 months so just coming to the end of my 2nd pill packet I started bleeding 2 days ago heavily the pains were just like the last 10yrs vomiting need a toilet rocking on the floor, I wasn’t expecting this. Has anyone got any advice does it get any better?

Hi. I had a terrible reaction with this pill as well. Although within the first two days I had the symptoms you are describing so came straight off it. You could speak to gp and ask for a pill with lower estrogen and see if that’s any better for you. I decided not to try another pill as reaction was so bad I was put off. Hopefully you feel better soon. 🤞

I was on rigivedon but it done nothing for me apart from an effective method of contraception, I bled continuously on it and still had labour like pains. Can you try another pill?

Sorry you aren’t feeling too well, make sure the doctor listens to you, always feel we have to fight our corner x
