Mini pill

I have been put on Desogestrel which is a mini pill post birth however for the last 2 weeks I have had constant bleeding with it. It is not heavy enough to call a period but is extremely frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hiya yes I had this for around 12 days and then bleeding stopped, super annoying !

I had this on and off for about a month but it stopped for two weeks and came back again yesterday!

Yes I did. It also reduced my milk supply massively so I've come off it. Bleeding has pretty much stopped and my supply is back

I was on this pill for 15 years pre pregnancy and I hardly ever had a period, now I’m back on it and I have one week on and one week off 🤦‍♀️ mad how pregnancy changes your hormones, hoping I’ll go back to how I was at some point!!!

Omg I was about to post this today as I’m on day 14 of it!! Was gonna ring doctors on Tuesday if I didn’t get any better x

I went on this when I was a teen and had to switch because I had constant bleeding for months.

This is really common for mini pills. For some people their periods will stop completely, some will get continued longer bleeds. It might settle (can take 6 weeks) but equally if you’re not happy go back to the doctors

I had this when i first started the pill was on and off for about a month and a half and now nothing absolutely fine i was considering changing but glad i didnt x

Thank you everyone. That’s reassuring, think I might stick it out for a bit longer to see how I get on x
