Norgeston mini pill

[Pam55]

Hi Ladies,

Is any one taking Norgeston mini pill for PCOS? Is it any good? It contains Levonorgestrel (the same as the Mirena coil).

I have read it can cause headaches, Acne/skin reactions and weight gain, irregular periods/heavy periods - has anyone experienced this?

I am undecided if I should try this first before having the Mirena coil put in, I would be grateful if anyone could shed some light!

Thankyou

Hi! I can't say that my experience has been a positive one. I've had a lot of acne and very irregular and frequent bleeding. If you're looking a progesterone-only contraceptive I would recommend the implant. Hope this helps x

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. I can't have the implant due to high blood pressure.

I'm on a waiting to have a Hysteroscopy and mirena coil fitted under GA at hospital. Unfortunately, given the current situation it looks like I'm going to be waiting a while to have it done!

Thanks again.
