That was the pill I was put on last, Im still putting up with it, I have had no bleeding but really bad pains on it, but to be honest Im not exactly a good one to advise on the pill with my track record lol

How long have you been bleeding for? Is this the first time you have been back on the pill since Liam? Maybe you should see how it goes after the first month, if you can bare it. Sorry babe Im not much help, hot water bottle and hot drinks do help with the uncomfortable cramps. Hope it sorts itself out for you honey xxx

** oh and if your not taking it everyday then you are likely to spot and bleed in between months, and your not protected for contreception for 7 days after missing each pill!

I take the pill just before I go to bed, normally that falls about the same time. If you have missed 3 pills in one week that will be enough to start a period babe, if I was you I would not take the 7 day break at the end of this packet, carry on into your next packet. Try and remember it everyday, once you get into the rountine then it gets easier. If you are continually forgetting to take it you could always try the injection or coil or other methods that are available. And as for dp...you could use a condom  poor bloke making him stay away lol xxxx
