My daughter has also had hormonal problems and has been on the contraceptive pill since the age of 13, to control her periods and bleeding. She has been on a number o pills, but they made her vomit. She finally was prescribed Mercillon and had no problems Then when she needed her 6 monthly prescription, she was told that they were no longer available, so she was prescribed another pill. She continued taking it with no break and took it for a few months. She has just recently gone to uiniversity and is living away from home. She went for her repeat prescription and was put back on Mercillon. She had no break on the change over. She has been taking it for 2 weeks. She has now noticed some unexplained bruising. Could this possibly be due to an hormone imbalance?
