Desogestrel pill - Prog-only Pill
I was hopeful my bleeding pattern would settle down, but after 6 months I was still getting spotting or a light bleed every 4-5 days. I also struggled with a low mood, loss of sex drive, dizziness, nausea and hot flushes!

Did your side effects stop after you stopped taking this. Iv had all those side effects plus anxiety, panic attacks and negative thoughts. How long till you felt better. Thank you
