Mini pill woes. Which pill is the best pill?

Was on norgeston for three months and couldn't stand it.
Sore breasts, mood swings, bleeding for 18 days per month, nausea and headaches.
thought enough was enough and tried another mini pill that was recommended for me - noriday.
I'm two weeks in and I'm constantly bloated, nauseous, gassy and cramping!
Anyone have any positive stories with the mini pill?

So I went to gp today and was just given cerzazette again
Apparently the others , the ones with the 3 hours window , are used 'more for emergency contraception ' 🤔
I was also told I wouldn't be considered for sterilisation until I'd tried a coil and implant . Which won't be happening

What a load of rubbish. They are not used as emergency contraception!

I know right, I feel totally fobbed off

I literally filled in my e-consult form saying I want to try something other than Cerazette which caused me months of bleeding .... and walked out with a prescription for Cerazette

Could you see an alternative GP or buy a different one yourself to see if it suits better?

Desogestrel seems okay but did take 3 months before it settled bleeding.

Buying some might be an idea

@solice84 other mini pills are noriday and norgeston (have 3 hour windows)
