Endo and mini pill.

[siani3]

I am on the mini pill progesterone only, I have been bleeding on and off regularly for the last 7 months I have suspected endometriosis and going in for a diagnostic laparoscopy in October, still experiencing pain and also bleeding after sex, I’m just wondering will I stop taking this pill before I go in for opp as I’m non stop bleeding and I’m fed up, don’t know what to do? Any one have any advice

🙂 Google ‘Healthunlocked Communities’. Search ‘endometriosis’. There are several links, you may find the information you need there 🤔xB

Not sure about the endo but I was put on the mini pill to try and control heavy periods and spotting in between (I am 45 and possibly in perimenopause). The mini pill just made me bleed constantly for the 3.5 months I was on it. It made my life hell and I ended up in an ambulance and then A&E after one very heavy episode.

Look into norithesterone which they also prescribe for this. It is still a progesterone but it's taken at a higher dose
