Contraceptive pill and changing it?
9 Answers
Hi
I have been on my contraceptive pill for nearly three months now its the first of anything like this i have ever tried and i know you have to wait for it to settle down and all that but i am on my last of three months trial on this one but am unsure whether with the side effects i have had to change it or carry on?
I have had two three week periods while on it, not even just spotting but full on periods, i am more easily grouchy at the smallest of things and i cry at nothing but will this settle down if i carry on with it, and hope it settles down, or shall i ask the doctor to change to something else and hope for better results?
Any advice is welcomed!
Thankyou!

Which pill are you on? It might help others when offering advice if they've used the same one, they can tell you how they got on with it.
I think the pill can effect people differently, I've been lucky with all the ones I've had before but I was on dianette from a young age (not for contraception) and although I don't have periods on the current one (28 day pill), dianette has always been my preferred brand.

http://www.theanswerb...l/Question888379.html <<< There you go, I asked that. I only got a couple of answers but I did experience some side effects initially. However, I've been on it for nearly a year now and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm fairly sure I once read that someone felt they had mood swings on it
What side effects are you having then?

Hmmm thanks china! I knew i would probably get a few side effects as i didn't think i would have found the perfect one first time round! I may talk to the doctor about it and have their opinion on whether its worth carrying on! With such sustained bleeding i don't want any other things popping up like anaemia or anything which i have heard as a result of over bleeding from contraceptives. Other than the gouchyness and crying now and again i seem to be side effects free.
I think my boobs have got bigger too but i count that as a benefit and not a side effect!

My periods didn't settle down after 6 months on Cerezette so I changed it. Tried Dianette which was pretty good but eventually stuck with Yasmin. There are so many to choose from that can affect people differently. 3 months seems a good length of time to try it out so I suggest you ask your GP for a different one.
