Title: Mini pill and bleeding
Post by: Bookwormnurse on March 04, 2024, 11:29:29 AM
Hi,
So I have been taking the mini pill for many years I am turning 42 this month. Now I never bleed on mini pill but for the last 4 weeks I have literally had a period like bleed lasting a day or 2 each week? I have also noticed a few changes with my body such weight gain easily, low mood,disturbed sleep, irritability, anxiety, waking up hot in the night,
My gp has requested a blood test to check for peri menopause but also for ca125 as my mum had ovarian cancer but I am not worried it could be that as not really got any symptoms of that
But just wondered if anybody else experienced the bleeding on mini pill like this when in peri menopause
