Misscarage and pill

[Shandy76]

Hi .. Just a question about contraceptive mini pill., I lost twins at 11 weeks in July but due to complications I only lost one naturally and had to have other removed by d and c on August 13th... I had to wait for my next period to start pill and due to infections and bleeding for 4 weeks after I didn't have until end of oct ..I have been taking the pill since November the 9th and been having a awful time with my hormones even feeling some days as hormonal as I did after the miscarriage .. I just wondered if it's possible to be over senstive to hormones and if so what other kind of non hormonel contreception is there ?? I can't carry on like this as its like a constant reminder every day ..any help or advice please ..must add don't think I can have cool due to all the infections after everything ... Thankyou

Sorry for your loss

I have been on the mini pill three times, each time it has made me feel awful, really blue and ragey. I was on micronor the first time and cerazette the other two, I googled and it seems it's a common problem with cerazette especially. I am fine on the combined pill though...

Thank you so much for replying ..was starting to feel alone with this .. Sorry should have said the pill is desorex ... Been really awful day today just felt so low slept most of afternoon ..i also start to think things like my partner or family don't want to talk to me .. Was exactly same way how I felt when my hormones was returning to normal ..so know its a hormone thing and I was starting to feel normal again until taking this .. I can't have combined pill as I'm 37 and few other things .. I have read up about a coil that is coper based with no hormone but also due to a lot of womb infections over last few months not sure if I can have that .. Feel a bit lost at moment try and explain how I feel to my loved ones who are very understanding but don't like to feel like burdening them .. Thanks again for your response

So sorry, it's a horrible feeling.
Please talk to someone, they won't think you are burdening them and will be glad to help. It's a symptom of feeling low that you think you'll be burdening them.

The most recent time I just stopped taking the pill when I started to feel so bad, didn't wait to see gp as I knew how awful it could get but I think it's worth you making an appointment to see your gp anyway to tell them how you've been feeling-even if you decide to stop taking the pill in the meantime.

Thank you so much for understanding .. It's been awful as it just reminds me of everything that happened as I feel the same emotion wise .. I have a appointment with nurse tommorow I am going to talk to her and hopefully get advice from doctor .. There is only one gp I really trust who delt with everything in July/August and don't really want to be explaining it all again .. Terrified to stop pill as would hate to get pregnant again .. Hope get some good advice tommorow .. It's a new fresh day tommorow xx thanks again for listening xx

Sorry for your loss. this on top of that sounds the last thing you need.
the proof that the pill is causing it would be if you stop taking it and feel better. I couldn't get on with the mini pill, I could actually feel myself sinking deeper into a depressed state every day, and felt instantly better the moment I stopped taking it (2 weeks after I started). what about a cap, which is old fashioned, but is not hormone based, so very worth trying if you don't get on with hormonal contraception.

How did you get on with the nurse today? Hope you got some support

Hi Shandy. I'm sorry to hear what you've been going through. You poor thing. I hope you get this sorted soon and start to feel better. I really don't get on with hormonal contraceptives so I believe they don't agree with everyone. I've used combined pill in the past which wasn't too bad but since having children I've used mini pill and merina coil both of wish made me so down and moody. Just awful. I've now got a copper coil and feel much better for not having artificial hormones pumping through my body. Periods are a bit heavier and it took a few months to settle down but it's the best solution for me. Good luck.
