vaginapagina | How Do Periods Work on POPs? (Reply)

Hi everyone!

I have a severe case of endometriosis, and my doctor and I decided I should take Micronor (a progestin only pill) to help control the growth. The problem with my doctor is that he always acts very rushed and gets irritable when you have (god forbid) questions. I find him a little intimidating and am working on finding a more sympathetic doctor who is more educated on endometriosis.

My question is...I'm a little confused about how one's periods work when taking a POP. I know they are taken every single day at the same time of day. Will I still get my period every month, or is it like taking a regular combined birth control pill continuously?

Also...is there anyone who takes POP that can offer their experience with side effects?

I really appreciate the help. Thank you.
