Feanolla Mini Pill - Non stop bleeding & took wrong pill (wrong day)

Hello fellow friends,

I'm pretty sure there was a feed that is similar or the same to this but is quite old.

1 Year ago, I got put on Rigevidon but that didn't last long as it made me feel sick and I had been vomiting a lot of vile as well as feeling very tired and drowsy. I hadn't taken any sort of pills till this year and had been using contraception such as condoms.

I then went to my sexual clinic in May 2018, and told them about the situation of me having to stop rigevidon so the nurse had prescribed me Feanolla 75 Microgram mini pills.

I have been taking Feanolla for around 1 Month and 2 weeks and I have been bleeding everyday, non-stop. Some of the days I do bleed heavier and the heavy bleeding can last for 2-3 days. Other days I bleed quite lightly, not spotting but just light periods. That's how it usually is for most of the time.

I do get cramps some of the days and my face does get dry most of the time which is quite frustrating as it also becomes very sensitive.

I am currently on Holiday and had set an alarm to take my pill, at the time I was very tired and I had taken a pill for next Saturday when I was supposed to take a pill for Sunday which was two days ago. My period somehow became very heavy, I am not sure if all the pills are the same or if there are any active pills, etc.

I am thinking of coming off the pill even though my doctor said it takes at least 3-6 months for my body to get used to the pill, I've just had enough of constant bleeding and not knowing when my period is due or going to stop. It's hard for me to have sex as well as I do bleed everyday and have been since I started, my boyfriend has tried using a condom but it's just too messy.

I'm sure that's a desogestrel pill. They should all be the same so doesn't matter which day you take. It can cause erratic bleeding as well as stopping periods
