Combined Pill 7 day break
I’ve been taking the combined pill (
Mercilon
) back to back for three months and on Monday stopped taking for my scheduled 7 day break. I’m yet to see any significant ‘period’ type bleed, just not sure why?

Birth control pill doesn't work for stop periods
The Pills I have been taking is last year are: -Cerazette (0.075mg progestogen) -
Mercilon
(0.15 mg + 0.02 mg) -Visane (2 mg dienogest) - not a pill, but horrible, I was bleeding for 1 month. I always have a lot of cramps when I'm taking the pill.

Need advice on thyroid issues
Current medications I take are: Euthyrox 50mcg daily Probiotic Multivitamin
Mercilon
(contraceptive pill) I would like some advice on the way forward. Not sure which is the best way forward for me to stabilize my thyroid hormone levels. Also feeling worried about my total cholesterol and HB1AC.

Period pains whilst on contraception (suffering from Amenorrhea)
I was under the impression that it would work the same way as the combined pill just a higher dose of oestrogen compared to the pill I was on (
mercilon
) and straight to the bloodstream instead.

Mercilon tablet- any feedback?
My doctor has prescribed
Mercilon
which I understand is a ‘low dose’ contraceptive. However, I’m slightly confused.
Mercilon
, although it contains estrogen, contains 150mg of Desogestrel. Cerazette only contained 75mg Desogestrel..so is
Mercilon
going to make me twice as crazy?!

Experiences with Lo-Estrin 20 vs Mercilon
Mercilon
? I am generally happy with Lo-Estrin 20, but I want to see if there’s a pill that works for me but that doesn’t cause the side effects (especially low libido!).

Pill not working/breakthrough bleeding - need advice
I'm now on
Mercilon
which I believe is very similar to Marvelon but with a lower dose of progestrone. I took my first 3x lot of pills fine, but I am two packets into my second cycle and having a painful bleed before the end of the packet (accompanied by nausea - yay). Has anyone else had this?

Possible Urinary Endometriosis
After symptoms persisted for a further 3 months I saw my GP who suggested I take another pill called
Mercilon
and gave me a referral back to my gynaecologist.

Pain/aching after periods
I Saw a gynaecologist in July who decided to put me on
mercilon
and Mefenamic acid to help with this and also said that although all my symptoms link to endometriosis, they looked at my laparoscopy pictures from jan and said it wasn’t that.

Debilitating Bowl Pain
Post operation and I still have this pain but have been limited to 4 periods a year (I'm on the
mercilon
birth control pill) Do any of you suffer from this pain and what do you do to help it or what has your doctor said?

Contraception confusion!!
Im now on
Mercilon
