Should I reduce my desogestrel dose?
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).

Dienogest
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.

Combined Pill 7 day break
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

Fibroids and Norethisterone, bleeding and spotting
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.

First period on progesterone only pill
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.

How do you take a double dose of desogestrel?
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

Hormone Help
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.

Cerelle desogestrel
I've been taking 2x desogestrl tablets daily since January and have noticed the past few months cramping but no period, I've had to go to hospital for morphine to calm this, could this mean my endo has grown back even thought i only had a lap in March 22?

menopause/Desogestrel
ok, this feels like - probably is - a stupid question but… one of the options I have been given for diagnosed deep endo is
Desogestrel
to hopefully stop monthly heavy periods.

Endo regrowth after failed IVF
A couple of times between IVF rounds/procedures I was put back on
desogestrel
to avoid pregnancy but during my two rounds I was off the pill for a longer duration. AF has come on today and it has been the worst pain I’ve had in a long time since my surgery.

Confused about Symptoms
I’ve been taking
Desogestrel
for a good few years now (maybe like 4/5) - I’ve never had any trouble with it, get the occasional surprise bleed every few months but I’ve heard it’s normal when you suppress your periods for so long. I’ve been on it for so long now I get a years supply.

Anyone else had any experience with doubling up on the progesterone pill to stop bleeding?
I went to my GP who switched me over to
Desogestrel
and told me to take 2 a day as this pill is more reliable, and this will stop my bleeding. How long should I take 2 of this pill before going back to the GP because the bleeding isnt stopping?
