Progesterone only pill - constant bleeding?

4 replies

Knobblybobbly · 09/08/2021 07:27

I’m nearly through my first month of taking the progesterone only pill and I have bleed every single day. More than just spotting but not my usual heavy bleed. Is this normal? Shall I persevere? (I’m 40 and very overweight if that means anything)

I had the same, totally normal apparently and should settle down. I’m about 7 weeks in and mine has almost stopped

Ok thank goodness for that!

Same here. I had a few months of irregular bleeding throughout the month but last couple of months have just had one relatively light period which seems to last about a week. Bloating seems a lot better which is a win for me!

I had the same. When i first start taking it I was fine for a few weeks, then had a bleed around when I would have been due my next period, had about 7 days off and then daily for about 10 weeks until I finally cracked and stopped taking it. It was supposed to be helping with heavy bleeding and whilst it was light it was still heavy enough to need some form of protection every day.
