ok, so having been the same weight for, hmm about 2 years I go to see my Nurse to have my blood pressure taken to carry on with my contraceptive pills. Its 'perfect' she even used that term, textbook perfect BP level. And it always has been.
So why then am I suddenly at risk of a stroke?
She has taken me off my combined pill and put me on a mini pill called Cerazette, she didnt explain ANYTHING to me about it at the surgery. I am so angry at the thought of having random bleeding and not being able to control my periods as I have for years.
She didnt tell me you never stop taking it, hence the totally unpredictable bleeding, she knows I had significant hair loss problems with stress, yet this is a very common side effect. My old ones also regulated my moods, I am still on antidepressants anyways, but the pills really helped as well.
I found out all about it online, which is supposedly a bad idea, but since I got nothing from her what else was I to do?
I had tried several brands before settling on the one I had been on for years, as I had severe bad reactions to some I tried. I am really upset over this as I am on holidays next week.... when I have to start taking the new pills.
What experiences have you had with taking the mini pill?
