Mini pill and never-ending bleeding?

[VariationsonaTheme]

I was recently prescribed the POP as a way of managing my painful periods. Well it’s worked on the pain, but my period is now on day 10 when it’s only usually 4/5 days long, and no sign of letting up, just as heavy as day 1. Is this normal? I chose the pill instead of mirena because I took it when I was younger and didn’t have any issues with it and it stopped my periods altogether. Seems to have done the opposite this time!

I had similar. 3 weeks of bleeding followed by a small break, another long bleed and then absolutely nothing for nearly a year now.

Which mini pill are you on? They are not all the same and if this one doesn't help you can try a different one.

I bled constantly on the mini pill & gave up. Never got told the depo provera jab was based on the mini pill & had 6 months of hell from one injection.
Be aware!

I had Noriday for ages and was fine. It suddenly became unavailable so the GP switched me to Cerazette which caused constant bleeding with a side order of depression and wanting to murder everyone so it does very much depend on which one you have.

Thank you all. Sounds like it’s not unusual then. It’s Cerazette. Will persevere for a while and go back to the doctor if it continues.

This happened to me with cerazette. O stopped taking after a couple of months as it made me feel rubbish as well.

I’m on destrogil ,no bleeding ever …could give it a try

The first time I took cerazette it was great and I had two bleeds in 3 years then when I went back on it again after having a baby I had constant bleeds. I now have the implant which is also progesterone only but seems fine
