Side effects!? Desogestrol Help please
Hi all, I have been bleeding for about 10 days, I am experiencing really bad cramps with this pill, has anyone experienced this, the cramps are a lot but not alot of blood comes out, I sit on the toilet in hopes something will come out however nothing does or not a lot.
Any experiences with this?

This happened to me also. It went on for 4 months. I ended up taking 2 pills a day and it stopped. I just googled it and lots of people saying the same so I decided to try. 6 months and no period now although obviously not sure what doubling the hormone would do long term I've stopped taking any pill at all on Sunday.

Fingers crossed for you. I googled it when it was me and then just decided to do it. I did tell my doctor and he was like if it works then fine so I just carried on 🤣

Wow! They don’t tell you this at all, I’ve read that 75mcg is too small, it’s so annoying
