Anyone had desogestrol only pill success ?

Has anyone had success with desogestrol only pill for managing adenomyosis - prolonged and heavy bleeding ??

I’ve been on this pill for just over a month now and I’m bleeding quite heavily with cramps and back pain. I’ve been bleeding since the 4th December started as spotting then became a very heavy period. This stopped after some Tranexamic acid and mefanamic acid but only for 5 days!! I then started bleeding again, spotting from the 20th followed by a very heavy period on the 25th which is showing no signs of reducing. I can’t even take anymore tranexamic acid as I’ve been taking it 4/5 days and I’m having leg pains.

Based on your experience is it worth sticking to it, has anyone had any luck with this stupid med? I asked for norisethrone as this worked for me but was told this is similar to it - clearly it isn’t the active ingredient isn’t even the same.

I’m getting acne, mood swings and anxiety but not the one thing I wanted which is to stop my periods. I’ve been dealing with irregular bleeding now for a year pre and post an open myomectomy in July and I’m literally at my whites end. Any advice is appreciated so so much

Thank you
