Hey guys, so I’ve been on the mini pill may 2025 was on different brands every 3 months which I believe was impacting the side effects, in January this year I stated I wanted to keep to one brand only and that was desorex I had just done 1 month on it, they said this was fine, anyway have been okay on it, and this month I came on my period 6 days early, which was okay just the normal period for a week, 4 days after I started spotting really pale pink not every time I went to the loo but was just here and there, then eventually it has gone to brown like the end of a period well mine anyway, I still have it now so that will be a week Sunday, I called the doctor today and explained and he is sending me for full blood counts as I actually haven’t had any before as never really had issues with my health etc, I suppose I don’t really know what I’m trying to say it’s just my health anxiety is going through the roof, surely there are people that have had a random break through on the mini pill and it isn’t just me, and then he proceeded to tell me that the mini pill shouldn’t do this, which I am almost certain this isn’t correct. I just genuinely think I’m having a blip in it, anyone else had this experience on desorex 🙂

I’ve been on the mini pill a few years and simply cannot predict when I’m going to bleed
it’s a pain in the arse

Well mine was everything 2/3 weeks when starting it then went to every 4 weeks, this month has been a bit of a blip and when the doctor said about you don’t have irregular bleeding after 8 months on it I’m pretty sure you can, and it’s not a period it is just that horrible breakthrough where you don’t have to even put on a pad as it’s barely there, I don’t like the mini pill at all
