The pill - taking continuously isnt working any more?

[Emma1609]

Since having dc2, my cunning plan of having no periods by taking the pill (cilest) continously isnt working anymore. I still get cramps, bleeding etc in a really drawn out way, exactly like a period. Its been a year now ive been back on the pill so cant put it down to my body readjusting. It used to work fine before dc2! Is it because I am a bit overweight and have mild pcos therefore heavy periods? Has this resolved itself in anyone else?

I HAVent had that issue so can’t comment on that, but did use to take the pill continually before last baby. After dc4 I was put on progesterone only pill(Desmono) which you take every day anyway and found it superb, no breakthrough bleeding.
Maybe ask your dr about going on a progesterone only pill?

Ooh great idea, thanks, I will definitely look into that!
