I had been on the combined pill for 10 years prior to this, but had to switch because I had two migraines. On the positive side, my previously very painful periods became a lot lighter and almost painless. However they are now incredibly irregular and long lasting. I've got 40 days without a period, to then have 21 days of bleeding. My skin is the worst its been since I was a teenager, and no skin products I've tried have made any difference. Losing weight has been impossible. I'm here looking for other options because I'm fed up!

I am coming to the end of the 3rd month and I have had about 3 or 4 periods each month. 1 or no days between. Constant bleeding, heavy or not. Painful headaches, cramping and migraines. On the plus side, it hasn't affected my mood like the combined pill.

Had a really bad time on this pill. I changed pharmacies and they gave me this instead of Cerazette/Cerelle which I've taken interchangeably for the last 10 years. Demono really screwed me up – my mental health has plummeted to the point I feel depressed now and I never have before. Always been anxiety-prone but it's been through the roof. No sex drive, find it much harder to get wet (pardon the TMI), spots all over my chin almost constantly, put on weight especially around my belly, and after having 10 glorious period-free years, I've started having heavy periods in very irregular patterns (for example I will be on for a week, off for a week, then back on for a week). I finally spoke to my nurse and begged her to take me off this – I'm staring Cerelle again today and hoping this will clear up.

I was sterilised 11yrs ago and had nightmare periods that just took over my life. After multiple hospital visits I had an endometrial ablation 6mths ago. Yay my life back, except for the headaches/migraines a few days before my period 🤦♀️ so gynecologist prescribed Desomono/Desogestrel - longer, heavier bleeding - Dizzyness - Headache/migraine already had 4 separate in a month - sweating especially at night. Will be coming off them ASAP

Periods are so heavy and last ages until they work again. I go a whole month and then they get really bad and cause pains and sometimes excessive bleeding. Sometimes it works for me sometimes it doesn’t.

Switched from Cerazette to Desomono and went from having no periods at all and no spots, no sore breasts to irregular periods and constantly having PMS sysmtoms ie spots and sore breasts.

I had been on contraception for 10 years, my first was the implant and that was brilliant until the second one, then it caused lots of irregular periods and spotting. I then went onto regividon and it made me so emotional and depressed. I then after a year of that went onto the desomono and again, especially before my period was due (even tho I didn’t get one) I was so depressed and anxious. I’ve been off contraception now for a year and I am a different person.

I never used to get headaches and now i do. My periods are just as painful with added headache symptom. But I do feel I’ve had a better sex drive

I lost all motivation for everything and I felt it heightened my anxiety and depression. It felt like there was a sheet of tissue paper over the world.
