I’m 40, youngest DC is nearly 2 and a half and for the last year or more my periods have been all over the place, starting several days up to a week late or early almost every month. After going through a spell where one was nearly a week late followed by the next being a week early I went to the GP and asked to go back on the pill. I was on Microgynon for 20 years without any problems before I came off it to start a family.
First of all the (male) GP insisted that I have to go on a progesterone only pill because of my age (which is not true, Microgynon is perfectly safe up until about 50-55 years old), and prescribed Cerelle. I’ve been on this pill for a few months now and once again my period has just arrived, a record breaking ten days early. TEN FUCKING DAYS.
I am taking this bloody pill for one reason only and the one the GP told me I have to have is making it worse.
AIBU to think this is complete bullshit?
