Can I start taking the pill before my period?
So I take a combined pill, 21 days on 7 off, it’s called Levest. I’ve never taken contraception pills before. Can I start it before I start my period? I read that you didn’t have to start it during your period you just have to give it a bit longer to take effect, is this true?

Do I have to go on the pill?
Hi all! I’ve been moving around a lot and so have had lots of different gps. I’ve finally settled somewhere and my new gp has referred me for a gynae appointment and hopefully a laparoscopy to finally confirm endo. But she wants to put me back on the pill again to help with my symptoms I was on the

Managing bad skin?!
Hi! I’m new, nice to be here. I’m 32 and was diagnosed with PCOS 5 years ago. Since then I have had two beautiful babies, both via IVF. My youngest is now 13 months and we’re just coming to the end of breastfeeding. I’m starting to get some PCOS symptoms again, mostly ovarian/pelvic pain and bad skin

Does the pill work for you? My body hates it!
My body outright rejects it, it will work for a week or so, then know it’s fake? Break through bleeding starts. I have never been pregnant (only saying this as worried if my body tries to bleed then too), but at the moment been bleeding since January. Tried Rigevidon and Provera - neither is liked but

PCOS advice? I am lost
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16, I’m now 25, and I just feel like I wasn’t really given any advice on it at all. I had initially went to the doctors as I had really bad acne and excess body hair, I was referred to a gynaecologist and diagnosed with PCOS. I was put on the pill to try and help

Is this endometriosis or something else?
Hi everyone, It's my first time posting here as I've just started the process of being diagnosed with endometriosis. FYI I have had IBS for 6 years. I came off birth control in October and my first period off the pill I had very light bleeding for a few days before my actual period began. I guess it

Endo and orgasms
Hi all, First time writing here but do not know where else to go. I have been seen my different docs that have all suspected that I have endo. I eventually got referred to a gyno who was apprehensive to give me the possibility of a laparoscopy so I’m currently tricycling the pill. I haven’t seen any

Near diagnosis, lack of support and a whole lot of questions!
I got a near diagnosis this year after 5 years of pestering and demanding help from the doctors (I still need the surgery to 100% confirm but we're pretty certain it's endo) however it hasn't been a nice experience. I thought I'd feel relieved with an answer but I'm still not getting much help. For

Can i shorten my 7 day pill break?
I stopped taking a contraceptive pill for my skin and period but i want to go back on it as having a period and bleeding right now is inconvenient. I’ve already stopped taking it for 3days, can i start it again tomorrow or do i have to wait 7 days?

Mixing contraception pills
I’ve came home for two weeks and left my pill co-cyprindol that I am in the middle of taking, I can’t get my pill for four days, I have a spare packet of yazmin from a previous prescription, can I take this four the four days until I get my other one back?

Endometriosis and the pill?
Hello, I am new here! I went for my first appointment with the gynaecologist today and to keep a long story short he said it can't be endometriosis if I am experiencing pain whilst on the pill because the pill would stop it. I was put on the pill about 5 years ago to help with irregular periods, strong

The pill supposed to stop endo pain?
In my second opinion consultation today the doctor said that I shouldn’t be getting any pain because I’m on the pill, so she doesn’t think it is endometriosis causing my issues. Is this right? (I had superficial endo found and excised from my right uterosacral ligament in a laparoscopy last year and

Anyone have any experience with a balloon / trapped rock / pulling feeling underneath their left lung/ rib cage?
Hi, This first started a year ago for me, I noticed that underneath my left rib cage I had this full sensation which was driving me crazy! It feels like air is trapped under there or like it's being tugged downwards? It seems to flare up whenever I spot or bleed on the pill, but can happen anytime and

progestogens
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed when I was 18 and put on the combined pill, now that i have hit 35, they have told me I can no longer use this and need to use the Progestogens pill. From brief reading of this there seems to be a lot of side effects. Has anyone else had this? I havent started it yet but
