Double desogestrel pill
Has anyone else been told to take two pills a day? My gynaecologist told me to try it over a month ago to try and reduce bleeding and pain. My pain has reduced but the bleeding hasn't. Has anyone else had this experience?

desogestrel pill and cramping
hello, i take the desogestrel pill for contraception which is the progesterone only pill. I usually take it at around 7-8am and you can take it within a 12 hour window if you forget. I unfortunately couldn’t get my next set of pills until this evening which meant u was unable to take my pill until 6:

Advice on medication
Hi Everyone, I've been offered medication as an alternative to the mini pill as I've tried Noriday which caused floods, and Desogestrel makes me bleed constantly. Norethisterone and Provera have been mentioned but I don't know which one to go on. I'm a bit weary of Norethisterone as Noriday made me

Carbamazepine and POP pill
I'm not sure what group to write this in but does anyone know about the interactions with carbamazepine and desogestrel.

Desogestrel & symptoms
Hi everyone, I was wondering what were people's experiences with desogestrel? I am not diagnosed yet as my MRI came back as 'normal' which is very frustrating as I am stuck now. I started desogestrel around a month and a half ago and have been bleeding most of the time, the pain is less frequent but

Worried about new symptoms,, can anyone say if they've had similar experience???
I had a lap in early March and had endo confirmed and removed at the time of surgery. But over the past month I've noticed constant bloating which is very abnormal for me as well as feeling very tired and needing to pee urgently. I also get sharper pains on my left side of the pelvis. However I'm

Advice re the pill and endometriosis and fibroids
Hello everyone, I'm wondering if anyone can give me advice or has been in a similar situation before. I had major surgery to remove endometriosis from the bladder and surrounding areas in 2015. After the surgery my consultant advised I start and stay on the pill to manage recurrence of endometriosis

Desogestrel back and leg pain
Hi Everyone, I've started taking desogestrel as treatment for endometriomas and fibroids. I've only been taking it for a couple of weeks but I'm getting terrible back and leg pain every morning. It wears off a bit during the day but comes back in the evening. Also I'm having to get up every night

Diagnostic laparoscopy on Friday

Heavy bleeding and agonising joint pain on desogestrel???
I recently posted on here asking about experiences with desogestrel. Just days after starting it I began bleeding heavily with cramps worse than usual keeping me up all night and I've been waking up with agonising pain in my right knee/hip joint that spreads throughout my leg. Has anyone else had this

EXPERIENCES WITH DESOGESTREL????
Hello, I’ve just been put on desogestrel after having endo removed laparoscopically with the doctor hoping that it will completely stop my bleeding due to excessively heavy bleeding which we haven’t yet manage to control successfully. I’m 18 so things like ablation/hysterectomy isn’t really appropriate

How do you know it's adeno flare not something else? So much pain!
Hello ladies....hope you're not suffering too much today. 💕 My question is - how do you know it's an adeno flare and not something else? (I'm a wee bit scared right now). I'm on day 7 of my period - still bleeding bright red blood, medium to light in flow, but that's not overly unusual. My back pain

Can Mirena work if desogestrel doesn’t?
Hi, I’m new to this group and hoping for any advice please. I’ve been diagnosed with Adenomyosis (by ultrasound) but not Endometriosis as they say I won’t have a diagnosis without laparoscopy. I’ve been on Desogestrel for over two years which has definitely helped with the pain but the bleeding is still
