Excessive bleeding on desogestrel mini pill

I've been having issues with various types of contraception now since the end of 2015 and I'm fed up.

Most recently (August 2018) I had the coil taken out cus I had awful side effects mainly lots of bleeding, mood swings. Then I started on the mini pill as I can’t have the normal one. The clinic gave me Feanolla which I had for 3 months and I had 2 periods which seemed normal of length etc.

I went back to get further supplies and they gave me “Desogestrel” which they said was the same (but it’s cheap and imported from Spain). All I know is that since I started taking that in November, I’ve been bleeding more than before. Heavily, sometimes prolonged and with awful stomach cramps.

I’ve got my wedding day coming up and I really don’t want to be bleeding on that day as I will be paranoid of leakage!

Should I go to my doctors and see what they suggest? I want to stop taking it and use condoms but I don’t want to get pregnant any time soon 😦
