I was on the mini pill for years and was fine. At 42 whilst on no treatment, I started experiencing perimeno symptoms. Went back on mini pill. It did help a bit with some symptoms, but overall I was getting really bad mood swings like I never did before. I thi k I needed some estrogen. Now trying to find a combined pill that works.
For me, the mini pill, cerazette, stopped my periods completely. My peri symptoms are not heavy periods, but if yours are, it would defo be worth a try.
