Desomono pill and thrush

This was the 1st contraception I ever tried and I went on this pill for 2 reasons: The 1st was for cramps and the 2nd was for a contraception which I used alongside condoms. When I started this pill I was on my period/experienced spotting for 140days from May (when I started the pill) to December. However, I did not experience cramps so I was happy to continue with this pill as the period was very light. After this I got my period about every 6weeks and started to get mild cramps but would reduce with paracetamol. After about 18 months of being on this pill I started to experience cramps again. My period was been dreadful. I’ve been on my period for 2weeks now with cramps and heavier bleeding than usual. I’m really tired and run down due to it all and absolutely hate it. A new doctor informed me that this was not the best pill to go on if I don’t have any underlying health problems i.e. A risk of clots. I had no other side effects on this pill so I think it is a good option if you don’t experience cramps and are looking for a contraceptive with less hormones as my friend has had a good experience on it. However it’s definitely not for me and I’m going to change asap.

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.
