Did it eventually settle for you? I started it to try and stop spotting/bleeding but the bleeding has got heavier!!

It didn't settle for me lovely I ended up changing pills to the 7 day break pill and it was much better no abnormal bleeding xx

Great to hear you got sorted. I can’t take the combined pill due to bmi and blood pressure. Maybe worth trying a different mini pill, not sure whether to stop this or not but along with the heavy bleeding I’m having night sweats and my anxiety is through the roof. X

Definitely try other pills as I had cerezette for years before my baby and i never bled once on that so all trial and error and that one is a mini pill :) sorry to hear you going through a rough patch it's hard being a woman sometimes sending hugs xxx
