I swapped my pill to desogestrel about 3 months ago. For just over a month now I’ve been ‘bleeding’ but it’s been more like brown discharge than bleeding you’d get on your period. I was just wondering if I should consult my doctor about it or just wait it out because I know the POP pill does cause irregular bleeding. I’m just a bit of a stress head and want some reassurance about it and if I should go to my doctor or if it is normal and I should just wait for my body to get used to it.

Unfortunately irregular bleeding is a very common side effect of the mini pill. Nothing to be concerned about, it’s just a nuisance.

It’s normal and unfortunately it may never stop. It’s one of the reasons I hate the mini pill. Would rather have long periods once a month than spot weird brown blood every day.
