Mini pill for perimenopause?

[Brownsofa]

Hi there,

I have been starting to have irregular periods ( after being regular for years) have been checked out with a smear and scan so think it's perimenopause.nurse appointment booked next week but I want to chat to the nurse about possibly taken the pill to regulate periods again.
I was on the pill for many years pre children. Had my last child 8 years ago and ex dh had snip so had not needed contraception( we split 2 years ago)
I also don't really need to use it as contraception now either but I'm in a job that works outside mobile in all weathers and it's getting very pesky suddenly have my periods stopping an starting all time.
Has anyone done this at all?

I am on mini pill for this - I was on one brand and the NHS (God bless' em) have decided to change to a cheaper brand but it's not really doing what I wanted.
Have you thought about a mirena? I gather they do a similar job

Hi ya Tommy
Was you actually prescribed it for same reasons though?
No don't want the coil or implant, I've quite a pain threshold and tolerance of all things bleugh but those two really make me shudder !
