The good news is that I have an appointment, but on 20th July!

Velociraptor Jun 2022 12:42pm, 23 Jun 2022 58,534 posts	0 Velociraptor Which Femoston preparation are you on, Pix? If you're taking desogestrel continuously for contraception, you won't have a predictable period. Lots of women have no bleeding at all or just the occasional light bleed. A few women have troublesome unpredictable bleeding. It's probably worth continuing to have a little pad or tampon in your handbag for now.
