I've been on the mini pill for a few years since suffering migraines and being taken off the combined pill. All went well for the first 6 months or so but now I randomly bleed (sometimes as close as a few weeks apart) and can last anywhere between a day or 3 weeks! It's starting to really get me down and I am struggling to get any appointments with doctors or the icash team. Any advice on what to do / what could help?

Hi
I wanted advice from other mums using desogestrel pills please.
It has been 3 months Taking them...the first month went well, light normal duration. However last couple of months bleeding often.
Spoke to GP, they advised to stick with it. I am having waves of period pain and light headed! Hot weather too!
I'm thinking of giving up the pill but GP advised periods will be worse if I stop now taking the pill. I'm in my 40's.
Advise please. Thank you.
