I was on cerazette from January to September, felt I needed a break just to allow my body to do it's thing. Was feeling bloated and boobs enlarged and period had stopped. Stopped the pill 3 weeks ago, no period yet, boobs really painfull, don't know where I am. From what I have read, don't think I like the sound of this pill. Was hoping after a couple of weeks I would have a period, but feel assured that this is normal.
i started having chest pains in sep09 whilst using microgynon which i have been on for 6 yrs so doctor thought it was the oestrogen causing clots in my lungs so she put me on cerazette for 3 month trial to see if it would stop - it didnt but my periods vanished which i liked at first as i didnt have to worry about pads. i took the last one 3 weeks ago and was goin to wait till my period started again to start on microgynon but my period still hasnt come. i was paranoid i was pregnant though id taken all neccesary precautions and have done tests but negative. so if i can expect my period to show up in a years time can i still start back on microgynon so i dont have to use condoms with my partner????
ive been on cerazette for 16 months now and decided to come of it a few weeks ago!. but im having symptoms like im pregnant. swollen abdomen sore nipples feeling sick took 5 pregnancy tests all negative. so i cant be pregnant!. going to make an appointment with the doctor to double check! but from reading all the replies on here it looks like thats the side effects from coming of this pill. which i wont be going on again in a hurry! thinking about another form of contraception now.
hi there really glad i found this.
ive been on cerazette for like 2 years. if i miss one i come on my period straight away. i am really heavy and suffer with bad pains. i havent taken it now for 7 days and have had no period or pain. i have really sore boobs though and bloating. im worried because ive read loads of reviews saying its a bad pill and i want to try for a baby but i need a period first thanks rachel x

I have been on cerazette the last 5 years and haven't had any bad symptoms at all. I like not having my period because I can't sleep at all thinking that I'd stain the bedsheets, which i always do, even if I use the long pads. I would have my pap smear every 6 months just to make sure everything's ok. I haven't had headaches or mood swings. All i can say it, this pill is perfect for my body. And yes, while I'm on the pill, i don't get periods. But the moment I stop, my period's back.
ive been on cerazette since december 09 and still have not had a period yet. i get all the symptoms every month but without any bleeding, it kinda worries me as ive always been regular. the doctors have said my only nxt option is the implant or injection but im not to sure on this. has any one else had the implant or injection and does it work?
I was on the combined pill, microgynon for approx 4 years and on discontinuing, it took 1 year for my periods to return. Therefore, i did not want this to happen again so i tried the progestogen only pill, cerazette as an alternative. Again, after 4 years of being on such pill, i decided to have a break without any hormones. This was 13 months ago now. I had a period after 7 months and then 3 months later (i.e. at 10 months), but that has been it up to now. It is quite concerning but hopefully they should return on a regular basis soon... Fingers crossed anyway!
Hi,
I stopped to take cerazette to try for baby. It is been 2 weeks and no period. I read about this situation and seems it can take from 3 months to 2 YEARS!!!I couldn't believe when I read it. How strong it can be and may can affect our sexual health? I don't suggest cerazette to young ladies who may want baby in the future. It seems to stay for too long in the body and it is not healthy at all. Does anybody knows any mroe info? :'(

After having spoken to my mum given that i have had a partner for 5 months now and still have not had sex she advised it best for me to go off the pill (cerazette) for tyhe time being.
But after reading your stories aboutthe pain and bloating i am not sure i want to risk it ? tell me what you think?

I am so glad I found this thread!! I was prescribed Cerrazete at my 8 week check up after having my daughter last May. I didnt ask for a differant pill, but as most people say - you trust your gp.
Anyway all was well.. and I too had no periods which were great! Then in March this year I finally went to the docs thinking I was having some sort of breakdown!!
My family had all noticed that I had gone from a relatively chilled out person, to a screaming maniac! If I wasnt shouting at someone and feeling soooooo irritable, I was crying> And not having any idea why I was crying?? The doctor listened to how I was feeling and thought that it could be PND, and prescribed me with Anti Deppresants.
I was taking these AD until recently but after googling Cerrazette I realised that I do not have PND and I certainly do not need AD!! I just need rid of that damn Crrazette! All the web forums describe how women have had exac same symptoms I have - including complete lack of sex drive - and yet when I o GP he doesnt even ask about my pill.. he just gives me happy pills!
I hvae now been 2 weeks off both my Pill and my happy pills, and Im feeling abs fine! EXCePT... still no period. I was worying about this, but reading other peoples comments on here it could be anything up to a year!!

Hi everybody, i feel a bit more happier after reading these posts.
Just a similar story regarding cerrezette.
I'm 20 years old. I have been taking cerazette on and off for a total of 3 years, because of bad migraine attacks and stomache cramps alongside my period.
I have not taken any of the pills for around 8 months, and i have not had any periods since. I'm quite worried i've done myself some harm by being on the pill, so i am going to go to the doctors for peace of mind.
I reckon if you take it for a while, its going to take a while for your body to get used to there being no pills, just as it does getting used to you taking pills.
ill let you know how i get on at the doctors.

i have been on this mini pill my self i stopped taking it after 10 days as i was feeling tied i had a period very light not moaning that was 1 aug it lasted 3 days not seen one since.i have taken hpt all negative they also done them at my local gp all negative they said its normal but i have told them i want a scan just to comfirm im not pregnant but they havent told me it could take upto a year to have a period.
Heya every1 I was on cerrezette for about 2 n half years. And had no periods the whole time as this is what its meant 2 do. A lot have people have sed that they thort they might b preg, well that becus the hormone in cerrezette is that of which u get when u are preg. It mks u think ur preg hence y the periods stop. About 11 months ago I decided 2 come off ttc our first and it was awful, becuz I'd gone frm takin it everyday 2 suddenly not atall my body faked the hormone makin me think I was pregnant, it was diabolical, I had sore boobs, mood swngs, cravings, morning sickness but everytime I did a test it was negative. It was awful becus I rly beleived I was n its horrible wen ur ttc n it turns out u aint. 11 months on and I've had no periods upuntill 2 months ago, both regular but this months no period? N no I'm not preg. But doc sed that my body is just gettin bk 2 normal! Hope this helps abit ladies! Xxx
Hi guys, I am so glad i have found your comments as I am really confused. first of all i would like to tell you my story to put some minds at rest about getting your period back after cerezette. I am 25 and have been on cerezette for two years, i came off the pill 4 weeks ago and yesterday my period came back (i never had a single period whilst on cerezette). so the good news is, is that not all women will have to wait up to a year.
Me and my partner are desperate for a baby and since coming off the pill i have been doing weekly ovulation tests and all negative - however my period is now back, i am confused as to when is the best time to fall pregnant i have heard that there is 'a few precious days' where the likelihood is higher, does anybody have any info?
Big Thanks
Lou :-) xx
