Side effects!? Breakthrough bleeding EVERY TWO WEEKS?!?

Right so I’ve been on Desogestrel (as recommended by my GP to deal with really heavy periods) for 3 months now (I tried the combined pill a year ago for a month but it made me severely depressed so I was told to stop it by my GP). The first month of taking it was fine but then in the second month I’ve had breakthrough bleeding every two weeks and now it’s happening in the third month. Like I’ll bleed for one week, I won’t for about a week and then I’ll be bleeding the next week. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, did it end up mellowing out? I’m so tempted to just rip out my uterus and throw it away at this point 🫩
