TTC / Desogestrel Withdrawl Bleed

34 replies

Hi all,
Me and my partner are trying for baby #1.
I stopped taking the Desogestrel pill on the 13th October. Iv had period pains for the last 4/5 days but no bleed as yet.
I just wondered if anyone else had recently come off Desogestrel and how long they had period type symptoms before withdrawal bleeding?

@FutureMrsSmith I stopped the pill Friday and on day 1 of withdrawal.... soon as agnus castus comes I'll start taking that and hope for ovulation

Thanks all, it's so reassuring to know!
My symptoms have pretty much gone and no AF / with-drawl so see what happens from here!
Where are you all in your journey? X

When I came off cerrelle in 2016 ttc #1 I didn't have a period 5 months later I started agnus castus as heard it would regulate me and 6 weeks after that no af but a bfp.

Deffo recommend a read on agnus castus..

I'm now off the combined pill ttc #2 and I am awaiting agnus castus in the post to try that again.

@FutureMrsSmith I was same as you, 8 years on the mini pill so no period but I have PCOS so irregular periods. Although I was very relieved when period only lasted 5 days!! Here's hoping she shows for you soon x

Hello! As you say, everyone is different, but for me I had a tiny bit of spotting about a week after I came off desogestrel, then a proper period 5 weeks coming off it. I got so impatient in the meantime! I didn't really get any symptoms before the withdrawal bleed but got standard PMS-type symptoms before the first proper one. Hope that helps and let us know how it goes! Smile x

Thanks Hayley! That's reassuring,
Iv been on the pill / injection for around 5 years so haven't had a period for a while. My body used to be like clockwork, reading all the posts on here has made me realise how much I took that for granted. Here's hoping my cycle returns to normal pretty quickly!! X

Hi,

I came off desogetrel on the 25th August. I didn't have a withdrawal bleed but side effects felt like AF was coming. Bad cramping, painful boobs, nausea, fatigue. I finally got my period 6 week from last pill x
