Mini pill (desogestrel) - Normal cycle symptoms?

[Reg1naphalange]

I've been on the mini pill (desogestrel) for almost a month now.
Apart from having terrible bloating and acne the first week, I've not had any other symptoms, including my mood.
Before being on the pill, I was tracking my cycle and being very in tune with my body for over a year, I therefore know how my body and emotions are at each stage in my cycle.
I'm just a little concerned, or maybe it's just me being paranoid, but the normal symptoms I would usually have (without the pill) are still there.
For example, around the time when I would usually be ovulating, I had a very high sex drive.
Also this is the week that usually would have been the week before my period, I'm having bad acne, cravings and bloating, which were all the symptoms I would have had without the pill.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that I don't have any extra side effects, however I am concerned the mini pill isn't working very well as I still seem to be having my regular cycle.
I've also been carrying on tracking my temperature every morning (more out of curiousity than anything) and that also has remained the same.
It seems silly going to my doctor's about this as it's probably just me worrying for nothing, was just wondering if anybody else had experienced this aswell?

Hi! The mini pill isn’t supposed to stop you ovulating so you will have a regular cycle. Some people get regular periods with this, some get constant bleeding and some get none. This type of pill thickens mucus so sperm can’t pass through and leaves the lining of your womb so thin that even if the sperm and egg fuse, there is nothing for it to implant into to grow into a baby. It just slides away. It’s considered an added benefit with the mini pill if ovulation does not occur and with this specific type of mini pill it happens more often than not but your pill is working in other ways like it is supposed to and it doesn’t really matter if you ovulate or not. Hope this helps x

Thank you so much for your reply, that makes me feel a lot better.
I've read on some websites that it doesn't stop ovulation but on others like the NHS website it says that this particular type of mini pill does stop ovulation, so Im just a bit confused!
I also don't see how it can be 99% effective if it doesn't stop ovulation? I know it prevents pregnancy in other ways but surely it wouldn't be as effective as the others?
