MiniPill and Bleeding

[Amy_P_1996]

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this or can advise on what to do? It is suspected that I have endometriosis, to try help improve things for me I was placed on the minipill. When first changing to it I had a 2 week long heavy excruciatingly painful period. Since then I've still had a lot of pain and occasional bleeding so I've been advised to double up the pill. This however doesn't seem to have made a difference as I'm having a really painful period again and on day 11. I know the minipill is supposed to stop periods, Is this normal, has anyone else been through this? What should I do? The consultant wants to give me the Merina coil but if this is whats going to happen I cant deal with that all the time.
