Hi there,

I started taking desogestrel just over a month ago (mid cycle) and as expected, I got my next period as expected two weeks later. That went on for ten days (unusual for me) but lightened towards the end. Ive now just got my next period 22 days later and it is extremely painful and not being eased by ibuprofen.

My question is, how long should I allow to see if this MP is going to ease my periods? That is the sole reason I went on it - to lighten blood loss and ease pain.

Thanks in advance 😃
