Ok so! I have been on desogestrel (mini pill) for a year now. Have had breakthrough bleeding a little, but nothing like this… I started my period on the 15th (about 5 days early) and it’s still going. I feel fine in myself, I haven’t missed any pills and I take them at the same time give or take an hour or so every night.
I’m stumped, i don’t know if I should ride it out, come off the pill, keep going, change pills, call 111, call docs??

Have you had the covid vaccine or could you have had covid?

That's known to feck with your cycles.

Speak to your GP they will be able to give you some medication to make it stop. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, it happens. If it keeps happening then yeah maybe docs will need to look into it.

Good point, but no haven’t had that since the summer!

Thank you 😊 it’s just so disconcerting like where is the blood keeping coming from??
