Shall I still carry on with going back to back with the pill or shall I have a break and a bleed?

[JadeH92]

So I am in the process of getting healthier etc. with the plan of going for my second frozen transfer in Sept / October.

I have endo and adeno and PCOS and have been really struggling with my pain for the last few months. I have had issues with my lining being too thick in the past also and random spotting.

After a baseline scan my lining was 8.5mm so my consultant suggested 10 days on Northisterone then start taking the pill (Microgynon). I asked if I could take it back to back because when I have periods I am really unwell and it was affecting my work.

I have 3 days left of my first pill packet and today I have started spotting. I have read that spotting / break through bleeding can be a sign your lining is too thick so it's shedding.

So I'm thinking do I just have a break and a bleed and be unwell and really try not to have more time off work with it? Or do I just carry on back to back so I don't have to have time off work but possibly run the risk of my lining being too thick for my next transfer and having all the issues I had last time (cycle was abandoned)?

Any advice welcomed!

Thank you

What did the clinic say about back to back when you asked them? Xx

When I suggested it initially to my consultant he said it was my choice but wasn't a bad idea so I could if I wanted to. My spotting has reduced today so I've left it for now just hoping yesterday was a one off. I think I'm going to carry on with next month's pack and see what happens from there. Thank you for replying xx

Hi JadeH. If you under a clinic, then you need to go by what they recommend you to do. I would get in touch with them and check. Good luck! Diane

Thank you for replying. My spotting has reduced today so I'm going to just leave it and see how I get on but if it starts again or is heavier, then I'll phone the clinic. Thanks again xx
