When will the pill start to improve my periods?

[Belleangel22]

Started on the pill for the first time last month for painful heavy periods. Currently having my first period since starting but it’s still as heavy and painful as it was before. Am I being too impatient and will it improve over time?

Yeah you need to wait a bit. Is it the combined pill? Took a few cycles to sort mine from memory

Yeah combined, rigevidon! That’s okay then I thought I was probably just being impatient, I’ve just suffered from bad periods for a long time now I just want them better!! Thankyou for your reassurance

Fingers crossed it works. You can also take the pill back to back without a break for the period if you want to. Mine were unbearable without the pill so I understand how you feel and I really hope it sorts it.

I did have to try a few brands before I found one that worked. I'm getting near the end of mine now and I can't wait for them to stop (I'm 49!).
