Destrogen pill

I've been put on to the destrogen pill as the GP suggested it was better for myself being over 35. Since being put on it after my 8 week check up from having my LO, I've bleed constantly now for nearly 9 weeks. Is there anyone else that's experienced this at all? Tell me it ends soon as it's really getting me down

You can bleed up to 3 months on that pill. Personally I couldn’t take it but I’ve heard it does stop eventually

I was put on that and it was awful. Didn't stop bleeding. It got me so down and I ended up sore from using pads constantly. I managed to get an appointment with the doctor (after months) and was allowed the coil. The doctor even said its not right and I must be suffering so much. I had to take tablets to stop the bleeding in the end! I ended up bleeding after my birth for 10 months with maybe 3 days singularly where I didn't. I know gps say to give it time but it didn't work for me x

My cycles were all over the place, I would bleed for 10-14 days then nothing for 7-8 weeks. Emotions were all over the place aswell. Stopped it and got pregnant straight away! Very happy accident

@Michelle hey just wanted to ask, how long was you on this pill for? And did you have a period when you stopped it? Or did you just get pregnant straight away? Xx

I had the same problem eventually I went back to the doctors and a nurse recommended a different brand however same ingredients which is crazy because she said all her patients say the bleeding stops… I tried it & amazingly it settled quickly and I don’t have any bleeding in between however once in a blue moon say 8 months or so I will have a bleed goes away within a week.. and 9/10 its cos of being under heavy stress, it’s called Zelleta. Oh and also I had bad hormonal acne on the pill I was on before zelleta and since taking it my acne totally cleared up! So I take it for that reason mainly. Hope this helps! :)
