Desogestrel pill - Prog-only Pill
I wanted to go back on the pill as a reliable method of contraception but the side effects were too much. Skin outbreaks, loss of sex drive and darker hair growth were the main reasons for coming off this pill. I had always used the combined pill previously, so I may return to this in the future.
