Peri and Desogestrel

Will I likely experience peri symptoms when taking POP? I’m nearly 37 and for last 6 months or so I’ve experienced what feel like peri symptoms - random hot flushes, insomnia, anxiety, no libido, racing heart.

I’m only on the mini pill for my insanely heavy periods that kicked in after having kids. Been on it for 2 months and have spent most of that time bleeding. Tried combined pill for a few months and came off due to overwhelming anxiety. Nurse suggested Desogestrel, but not until her eyes almost rolled to the back of her head when I said the combined pill was impacting my mental health and she claimed to have no knowledge of that 🙄

Would taking this POP mask peri symptoms? Does this sound like a side effect of taking hormonal contraceptives? My mum went through early menopause (she’d gone through it by 44) so I wondered if I may follow suit.
