Advice on medication

Hi Everyone,

I've been offered medication as an alternative to the mini pill as I've tried Noriday which caused floods, and Desogestrel makes me bleed constantly.

Norethisterone and Provera have been mentioned but I don't know which one to go on.

I'm a bit weary of Norethisterone as Noriday made me feel bloated and this a stronger version of it.

Has anyone tried either of these and if so how successful were they?

I'm feeling very confused and upset so any advice would really good.

Thanks for reading x

Hi

I've taken provera on and off for the last 10 years and it's really helped me, the only downside is I lost weight on it and went down to 7stone and thought I looked ill but apart from that I would say try it. Hope this helps
