Thanks CG and Sparkler.
I'm at a bit if a loss and starting to obsess, which is not good for me !!
To clarify, I take the mini pill contiuously, no breaks. Have done for 10 years. Looking back, I've probably had a low mood for all that time. But I kept collapsing on the first day of my period (sometimes in embarassing places - oxford street tube station being one !!). So my Dr put me on the POP to reduce my bleeding. I was too old, too fat and too smoky to take the combined pill.
But now I've started HRT sequential patches, I wonder whether I'm getting too much P.
My Dr said that the POP wasn't enough to protect my lining, which was a shame, as she could then just give me E patches. So I had to have the sequential combi. And she said I might not get a withrawal bleed, because of the POP. But we didn't discuss whether I should come off the POP.
So now I think the minipill is affecting my mood. And I would like to feel happy again (I can't remember a time when I was actually happy
). But I don't want heavy bleeding, or bad mood swings.
I'm a bit stuck, aren't I
