To think that the only way the pill stops anyone getting pregnant

[Whatshallidonowpeople]

Is because you bleed so much you never have sex?

[Fairenuff]

I bled less. Maybe it's not for you?

[Graphista]

Have you tried different brands/types?

[EllJ]

I've been on the pill for more years that I care to remember and I only ever bleed when I'm on my break

[UgandanKnuckles]

You're bu because that's not normal.

[TheVanguardSix]

You must be on a mini-pill/progesterone only pill.

[BertrandRussell]

You need to go back to your doctor TOMORROW!

[Whatshallidonowpeople]

Maybe I should replace the you with I

I was on microgynon for 3 month and bled most of it then, due to bp and my advanced years, they switched to maexani (I think) and I've bled for the almost 3 weeks

[Fluffyears]

I barely had bleeding with the pill even on the break. I think you haven’t found the right one.

[Whatshallidonowpeople]

Not mini pill

[Whatshallidonowpeople]

I can't face changing to another one. I have a couple more days then the break but I'm thinking of just carrying on

[Whatshallidonowpeople]

It's not heavy, it's just every day

[Duchessgummybuns]

Back to the GP I reckon OP, that doesn’t sound right at all!

[ZigZagIntoTheBlue]

Ask to try cerelle, I've not had a period in ages!!

[Rewn7]

In on the POP. Cerazette.

I don’t bleed at all. Ever. It’s bliss.

[Rewn7]

I was also same in Cerelle. No bleeding at all. They are essentially the same POP.

[Sarsparella]

That isn’t normal whatsoever, go back to your GP asap, I’ve been on loads of different pills and never had that reaction

[calmandbright]

Cileste - never ever bleed. Could you try a different one?

[Mumoftwoyoungkids]

That is what the implant did to me.

Pill / mini pill has been fine.

[Fairylea]

Definitely try different pills. I’m on cezarette and haven’t had a period since I started it (nearly a year ago).

[Mari50]

When I took the pill I only bled on my break and it was a very light bleed, what you’re describing isn’t the norm so I’d definitely speak to your gp.

[SpoonfulOfJam]

I've just bled for 6 months on the minipill. Just a bit, most days. Had to wear a pantyliner everyday. They irritated me, now I have a massive skin tag on my fanny.

Stopped talking the pill, and apart from the hideous growth, I feel amazing. So much happier and no more bleeding. (I'm sure I won't be saying that when my agonising real periods return, but enjoying it while it lasts. )And we're using condoms while DH tries to sort out a vasectomy. I'm done with hormonal contraceptives.

[Evenbetter]

The bleed women get when they do the 7 day no pill is not a period, it’s caused by hormone fluctuations and only exists because the man who invented the pill thought women would go insane without a bleed. The pill causes no egg to be released, the womb lining to not thicken, cervical mucous to thicken, so the womb lining doesn’t build up and up, just don’t do the hormone withdrawal bleed, there’s no need.

[Whatshallidonowpeople]

Next stop is the mini pill but apparently that gives irregular bleedjng. Who needs sex anyway?

[Whatshallidonowpeople]

Even when I was on the pill before, it start my "period" a day or two before the break. Every month

[Buglife]

That happened to me on the contraceptive injection, had to wait it out as you can’t remove it or stop it! But I’ve always been fine on Mycrogynan and also Cerezette.
