I started taking this pill a year ago as I was having really heavy periods. Pretty sure it was caused by peri-menopause. Everything settled down perfectly. However, over past 8 weeks I've had what I can only describe as the period of doom. Started off light and at one point Stopped completely for 2 weeks. Now at 8 weeks and I'm getting through a super tampax in less than 2 hours. Nothing I usually do to make it better is working. I have an appointment with the nurse in my GP next week but wondering if I should try and bring it forward.
