Desogestrol - skipping periods

4 replies

So I'm on month 2 of desogestrel after 15years+ combined pill. First month I had period as normal as wasn't I my system properly yet then month 2 I had light spotting, tender breasts and cramps but no period...hesitantly optomistic I am now on my next packet and wondering if will skip again this month? I take it same time or thereabouts every night and wanted to know if others had slipped a month but then continued having periods following month? Wondering if it's a sign I'll always skip? Also, if lining not thick enough for a shed (the period) why do I get the cramps? Thought they were associated with each other...thanks

Cerazette (same hormone) stopped my periods for a few years so fingers crossed it stops yours too

Hi guys so I'm on month 3 of desogestrel and today woke up with cramps and spotting. No period since august, taking tablets within a 1hr window each night and haven't forgotten to take any, any idea why I'm now getting a period?
Confused
Forgotten how horrible they were!Angry
