Which mini pill do you take?

The idea of incessant bleeding is enough to make me choose abstinence to be honest so which pop is the lesser of two evils?

I had micronor a few gears ago and didn’t have breakthrough bleeding, but I did find I had oily skin, low mood, increased appetite and aching legs. But no bleeding except once every 4 weeks.i think now Noriday is the only POP with norethisterone.
With cerazette, I bled the whole time I was on it. It was like having a period for 6 weeks.
I’m not sure how you would know which type of POP to go for as you mightn’t know how you will fare without trying them. Unless you know from the combined pill what side effects you god that might be attributed to the progesterone conponent.

I was on cerazette for 8 years and never had a period- it was absolutely lovely. Came off just before new year and my period returned a month later- however some people struggle to return to normal when trying to conceive. I see why people say after coming off the pill, that they’d never go back to it. But it served its purpose for me xxx
