Been on this pill since February. Lovely light period but been bleeding since April. Went to family planning clinic and said this is normal could take between three to six months to settle. I can't wait. I am going to carry on and hope it will settle. I don't want to go back to heavy periods, so this bleeding although a pain is better than heavy periods.

Hi this is similar to what happened to me, I started last November and more or less bleed the whole time, even though it was light. I have just come off the pill as I'm fed up, 7 months was just pushing it for me.

Hi everyone!

I came off cerazette back in april. Best thing I have done in a long time! although probably not best to do this if you have exams coming up like I did!

It took almost 3 weeks from stopping to get my periods back and from then I have had one weekend on my period (friday till monday/tuesday) then a weekend off, weekend on, weekend off and I have just stopped my period from this weekend. Hopefully is all settling down now.

Just remember girls, if you want to stay on cerazette, give it time to settle down - I say a good 6 months or so. And when you come off, the bleeding issues continue for a while anyway until your body realises it is not being poisoned anymore!

Keep yourselves happy and remember we're all here to share our experiences for other women who are on this dreaded pill!

Hey Girls,
Reading the latest few posts, how come ur all having periods??? I have been on it for about 6 weeks now, my period was due last week and still no sign of it or ne symptoms. Should i be worried??

Hi there!

I was on cerazette for about a year. I came off it about 3 weeks ago and have had no period. I have had slight crampy twinges but no period. I also have had tender nipples and have put on about a stone in weight. I think all these issues should actually be explained properly by a docter. I used to be on mycrogynam 30 (Spelling is awful) which I thought was great but had to change as my doctor said its better with my heart condition. For me not having a period seems really un-natural that is why I stopped taking it. Does anyone know of any other pill or contraception that is better????

Thankyou

Nope, dont be worried - it happens. And if you start bleeding dont panic, it will go on for a while!

Hello,
I took cerazette for a little longer than you about 18 months or so. I stopped and it took 3 weeks for my period to come. now its here every other weekend (lucky me).
Sorry but have no idea whether anything is better - trial and error. Try talking to your local sexual health clinic

I have been on this pill for just over a month and I have had to come off of it. It has given me awful mood swings. One minute I am fine the next I am so angry and I don't know why! I was on Microgynon before but also had to come off of that because of the same problem. I dont know what else to do because I think most contraceptives cause side effects, I am considering the coil - does anyone have any advice they can give me on the coil?

Ive been taking Cerezette for 5 months now, at first i bled constanly for 2 weeks and had periods all over the place sometimes twice a month and really bad mood swings, however i kept taking it and i had continuous spot bleeding for 1 month after 3 months of taking itm however after 4 months period lasted 4 days and was really light and this month nothing at all and all the mood swings are gone.

Just goes to show sticking with it does work.

From the day I started taking Cerazette just over a year ago, i've only had one bleed & that's after I forgot to take it. I haven't gone bald yet (fingers crossed) but still not happy that my hair's not so thick now

Anyone know the science behind this pill? Must be something powerful.

Hi,
I have been on marvelon for years and years and years without any problems, i then went to the gp as my migranes where getting worse plus my partner had a vasectomy, she told me to change my pill. so as we all think that gp's are god i did.
well i still have not come on, am i pregnant ? am i not ?
my partner has not had his first test result yet to see if the vasectomy worked and i have not had a bleed. I also do not get pre menstrul but i seem to be a little short, i thought it may have been because everyone stepped over the washing on the stairs and never bothered to pick it up, I even put it in the middle of the stairs so the all could see, i then realised it was not that as my daughter left her plate in the living room and i blew off the haddle a little too much. not like me...........but my migranes have gone so that must be a good thing. I am 36 and i dont want to go through the change just yet but does anybody know is it a problem if i dont bleed ?

Many women on Cerazette do not bleed whilst on it.

The progesterone helps the body maintain the womb lining and a drop in progesterone will induce menstruation. It will however put up a good fight with your body!
