pill to stop periods

[thecatsarecrazy]

Can anyone offer some advice please. I'm looking for a contraceptive pill, I can buy online that will at least make my periods lighter.

Because the pill I'm on works for me :) it was originally given for acne (after I had to stop the first acne type pill, dianette I think it was called?) So I'd like to stay on it. What I don't like is doctors refusing to give it to me if I don't agree to having a period, I don't really want one thanks! 😅

I hope you get sorted. Periods are just the worst ever and we should not be forced to have them lol especially when it is safe to stop them!

I feel awful for my daughter, she's 10 and got her first one a couple of weeks ago! I'm lucky that I can stop mine but she's obviously far too young for that. She was excited to start but now she's like ugh I hope I don't get my next one for at least a year

Exactly, why would I want to bleed like that every month when I can stop it?!

Haha her excitement won't last when she realises how long she'll have to put up with them!

Oh, forgot to say - I have also had the DepoProvera jab in the past, and it didn't stop my periods. The opposite in fact, I had a period that lastet 13 weeks!

I was on the combined pill with a week's break and fake bleed for all of my adult life. A 'delightful' male doctor told me when I was 34 I would have to change it when I was 35 as I would be 'old' and need to think about higher risk of blood clots etc. so should go on the mini pill.

I wish I had been offered it years ago. No bleeding, waaaayyyy less build up symptoms like cramp etc, which you will get on the fake bleed as your lady bits still have to contract to eject the blood.

I am on Desogestrel (spelling) and it's great for little to no symptoms, for me personally.
