I have tried the mini pill (cerazette) and it didn't suit me ( I was vile on it, like permanent PMT) so gave up after around a year, currently not using anything hormone wise, but my periods are a bit of a nightmare, I am lucky if I get 2 weeks with no bleeding in a month, other wise I am spotting or on. Can't get in to see the doctor for another month so trying to research what other option are available. Ideally I want to go back to the combined pill to try an control periods (used to be on ovranette pre ds and used to run three packs together)but age + being overweight go against this ( I am trying to loose weight but...) Don't want a coil as I understand it is the same hormone as the mini pill and I'm not going there again. So are there any combined pills that are more suitable ? or another type of mini pill ?
