When is the bleeding going to end?

[Greenandcabbagelooking]

Day 19. I’m in pain, bored of wearing my 4 pairs of period pants on a rotation, and starting to get a bit cheesed off by the whole thing.

I started a new pill two months ago, this started about when my period would have come, it it’s dragged on for nearly three weeks now. The bleeding isn’t heavy, just persistent. Place your bets on when I might finally stop. And tel me your experiences of the Hanna pill.

I guessed that it was a desogestrel mini pill! It can cause erratic bleeding or your periods can stop.

Is there a reason you are taking the mini pill?

No answers for you but I am in exactly the same position so a lot of empathy!

Can you speak to the gp and maybe change your contraceptiion?

I had to give up on the mini pill
Ive tried it a few times throughout my life and if you leave it for months maybe it will settle down but then I never knew when I'd have a period so that was annoying
Last attempt I gave up after a few months of constant bleeding

I'd like to give you a timeline but I lasted 11 weeks with similar and then stopped taking it!! It was meant to be helping with heavy bleeding.....which it sort of did as it wasn't particularly heavy, but it never bloody stopped!

This is exactly why I started taking it. I had heavy and painful periods, but they did only last 4 days. I can't decide which is worse - worse for a short time, or less bad but nearly three weeks long.
