Experiences with

Desogestrel

Hello I'm just wanting some guidance or opinions on desogestrel pill if anyone has been on it for endometriosis or Adenomyosis to help with symptoms. I'm just a bit worried about my weight going up as I'm trying really hard to get it down and my skin turning on me. Thank you in advance 😁

I’m still having heavy periods each month on the Desogestrel/Cerazette and wondering if it’s worth trying Noriday. I’ve tried the Depo injections, Norgeston too.

Hi everyone I'm new here, sorry if this seems like a bit of an essay - I am after some advice about desogestrel. I have been on desogestrel for almost 10 months now (8 months at double dose). It's not been an easy ride, constant bleeding everyday (very heavy to start with).

Hi all, I’ve been suffering with pain for years at first I thought it was back related pain from having my children but after lots of tests they’ve found endometriosis in my pelvic ligaments, I’m currently on a waiting list for surgery and I’m taking double desogestrel tablets and strong painkillers

Im bleeding daily - very lightly whilst taking this pill (this has unfortunately been normal for me since reintroducing hormonal contraceptives) but I expected a significant ‘period’ type bleed on the break (which previously occurred with desogestrel and Microgynon) but I’m still just seeing the same

A couple of years back owing to becoming a laydee of a certain age, I was prescribed desogestrel (a progesterone only pill) to keep my hormones levels stable. I had found they were dipping regularly and my dose hadn’t changed.

Since my last period, back in July (I’m now on a double dose of Desogestrel, which seems to have stopped the bleeding) I’ve had persistent pain in my lower left pelvis (it used to be just during, and the week after my period) and left groin and hip.

She's currently taking 2 Desogestrel per day to stop her periods and is reluctant to swap as she ends up throwing up with pain when she has her period. What experience have others had? I've heard mixed.

After the second time in A&E I was referred for a scan and given desogestrel to see if that had any affect.

My current medication: • Carbimazole 20 mg per day, increased to 30 mg per day since late September • Propranolol: started with 40 mg twice a day, now 10 mg per day since September • Oral contraceptives: Desogestrel 75 mg • Vit D – 4000 from January • Here are some of my lab results: • 20.01.2024

Hello ladies, So I'm on the mini pill continuously due to excruciating daily pain and to hopefully get a little break from the pain and stop my periods for 6 months ( I did get put on the injections prostap but couldn't cope cope at all and lasted 2 rounds due to debilitating pain in joints). For the

Back in March, the GP prescribed desogestrel which just caused daily bleeding. My period never stopped and it made my anemia worse. After a flood I was prescribed tranexamic acid which didn't touch the sides. I went to see a consultant and he prescribed norethisterone.

Im 48 and in perimenopause, I've been on desogestrel for 4 years to suppress the endo and its worked brilliant, no periods for 4 years!

Hi I’ve been on Desogestrel for the past 5 months via Gynae consultant whilst I wait for an mri and possible lap. I’ve had irregular bleeding and still having periods on the Desogestrel and I’m wanting to try something else now.

Previously I was taking desogestrel back to back no break to stop ovulation. To say this didn’t agree with me would be an understatement, I bled every day and felt pretty much suicidal. Even though it did help with the daily pain/pain down my legs.

Hi everyone, I little back story, previously went on Cerelle/Desogestrel before my Endo diagnosis and it was a pill I had every little symptoms on. However, I had breakthrough bleeding and severe acne with it as side effects.

Hey everyone💗 I was put on Desogestrel (the progesterone only pill) around 2.5 weeks ago to help 'manage' my endo while I wait for surgery and I would normally be due on my period in a few days time but I'm not really sure what to expect now I'm on the POP.

Hello, my gynaecologist has recommended I double the dose of my mini pill to try and reduce pain and stop my constant bleeding. I've struggled to find information on the best way of doing this - am I best taking one every 12 hours (eg. One at 9am and one at 9pm) or am I better off taking 2 at the same

:( Another GP I have spoken to is waiting for an ultrasound but if that comes back clear they want me to double my desogestrel dose to see if that fixes it
