Has Anyone Had Any Improvement Of Severe Symptoms On The Mini Pill?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Vallejo, CA

I am 38 and have the worst of the worst symptoms, pain, heavy bleeding, depression ect. I just started the mini pill to help ease theses symptoms. I am missing work and life. Several yrs ago I tried it and bled and cramped for 2 months. I am desperate and trying it again. I have migraine with aura so I can't tolerate reg BC at all.

I'm on it for 2 weeks now. 37 myself. Desogestrel. It has made my thoracic symptoms worse. It stopped my period but in spotting now. Also feel very down. Lap will happen Nov 30th for me. I was hoping it would help with my thoracic symptoms. Nope. I have severe endo as well

I was put on it originally but still had very irregular bleeding. Sometimes 2 weeks early and 12 or so days. Finally got a gyn appt this week and was put on Estrostep fe; will see how that goes. For migraines I use Emgality and Imitrex. PC just gave me a sample of Ubrevly. Hormonal migraines are horrible and endo doesn't help. Hugs to you 🤗
