Mini pill

Has anyone else experienced this on the desogestrel mini pill? ❤️

I’ve recently started taking it and I’m having a really light bleed, but I’m also getting the normal period-type cramps I would usually get with my period.

Is this normal when starting the mini pill? I know bleeding can be quite unpredictable at first, but I’m wondering if you can still get the usual period cramps even when the bleeding is really light.

How long did it take for everyone’s body to settle down after starting desogestrel? 😊

I was on it for 3 years until having my 4th baby, started it again straight after having her and yes I have this. Occasionally got the period pains but no bleeding. Been checked, up to date with smear tests which were fine so its just a typical way my body responds to the pill.
Can be annoying as I dont have a cycle just random periods whenever my body sees fit 🤣🤦‍♀️

I started this pill after my postpartum check. I took it on the first day of my period, bled for 8 days, stopped for 4 days, and then i've had light bleeding every day since for 6 weeks (with occasional cramping). I rang my GP and they said I have to give it 3 months for the bleeding to settle.

I don't even know if i've had another period because i'm bleeding all the time instead.

I'll give it till the end of this strip and then I might just contact the sexual health clinic because GPs are rubbish. I wonder if this pill is just the cheapest.

I was on Noriday before pregnancy but it made me a little down in the dumps x

I was on this for 5 years and the first 6 months or so were all over the place for me with random bleeding, sometimes lasting weeks a time. Eventuality it turned to random spotting for just a couple days every few weeks and by the 12 to 18 month mark all bleeding and cramps stopped completely and it was that way for years.

What am I doing ?

I have a two year old girl who I look after practically solo I haven’t had a night off since she was born. I left my husband in December and moved back to my mom’s. At that time I felt like I had enough as he wasn’t supporting me with our girl and I was still pay half half towards everything. We agreed I stay with him at his mother’s house 4 nights and 3 at my family home. 9 months later I’m pregnant and I have felt so much anger and disconnection towards him. He said he wanted a second child to give our first a sibling and I agreed as he said if I wasn’t going to conceive naturally he would bank his sperm so I could have IVF I was against that why should I. (He was going to bank as he has a low sperm count and we struggled with our first). But now I have built up so much hate I’ve left yet again we are building our home to move in to but I’ve left because I just can’t handle that he does nothing now and he won’t with our second. My sister got involved and spoke with him basically saying it’s over you two can’t communicate effectively so I’m stepping in what are the finances as I have also given a lot of money towards our home and she said I won’t be going back 4 days a week he can do nursery collections and do dinner and get her ready for bed and I will collect after. No it all seems so real I’m thinking I do love him but I don’t love the way I’m treated. I’m afraid I’ve made a mistake and I’m afraid If I go back that will also be a mistake. And I know I’ve been really silly lending money and my name on nothing and getting pregnant I am aware of my stupidity. I just don’t know what to do now. I’m scared. He can do nursery collections dinner and everything now I said I’m done but he would when I was there it was all down to me. Sorry for the essay

I am so lonely that it hurts

I have a wonderful husband, and super little boy. But what I lack are just normal, platonic friendships. And honestly? Back in the day I had more replies on Tinder than I do here, lol. I now know how the men feel with online dating, just expected a lower bar for a "chat and see of we can be friends" than there is for "you may one day be the father of my children,". Alas, no such luck. I sit here with sent messages like breadcrumbs, but not even a crow would bother to pick them up l.

Is this dramatic? Probably. But I've been so lonely for so long, and finding this app gave me hope. I mean, seemed like an app app about lonely women seeking connection.

I dunno. End rant, I guess.

Over it!!!

I think I’m not meant or ready to be a wife. I’ve been together and living with my partner for 3 years and although we’re engaged now. I’m happier when he’s not here!!! I don’t like to have sex with him nor do i want to have conversations with him. There were things that happened between us that turned me off. We have a one year old together and I think I’m just not ready to start this new chapter!!
Anyone feeling or going through something similar?
