Bleeding

Offline Kay.553 over 6 years ago

I am on the mini pill degogesteral (if that’s how you spell it) and I have been on it 3-4 months and I have bled twice since

I am being told it’s not normal and to see my nurse or doctor but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem on this pill

if I’m not suppose to get periods on this pill then i would like to find out why I’m bleeding dark brown blood?

If anyone could help then that would be great

Hello Kay.553
It's not uncommon to have some irregular bleeding when taking the pill. You can find out more information on the NHS website.
However, we would always suggest that anyone who has health concerns or notices changes speak to their GP or practice nurse for advice.
Best wishes,
Jenn

I tried the mini pill - almost constant bleeding. Tried it for about 3 months then gave up after that and went back to combined x
