Hey all!
I was on Cerazette for approx 4 years, during which I had NO periods, which was fantastic!! No other symptoms at all. Decided to come off it to start a family with my husband & periods returned straight away - got pregnant on the 3rd month of trying.
After having my daughter, 18months ago, went back on the pill until 3 weeks ago, when I came off to try for another baby. This time, I've had no period, and it's been 3 weeks. Had a few minor tummy pains, but I'm not really concerned, my period will come when it's ready!
Good luck to all of you trying to conceive xxx

Hi there
I came off the contraceptive pill last October as it started to give me double vision and heart palpitations. So the doctor offering me cerazette was kinda like a Halleujah! moment.
I had no periods with cerazette and thought that was great but I came off it over a month ago and still nothing. The penny dropped last week when I thought f**k I could be pregnant despite being double gloved. Pregnancy test was negetive; but there's always that worry that the test could be wrong.
Im at uni; none of us have the energy to be worrying about the possibilty of being pregnant; I didnt need this and to be honest would rather put up with the heath worries of the Pill.
Dont Take Cerazette

wow! all ur posts have made very interesting reading. i was put on cerazette in october 08, ive had no bleeding of any kind, nor any other side effects. i was put on this due to my BMI - but after researching there is some confusion about that also. My concern is more based on the actual taking of the pill. i missed 2 consecutive days then had sex on the 3rd day, im feeling tired, achey and sore but have stopped taking the pill a week ago, is pregnancy likely or is it just my period comming?

This thread has relieved me so much - i was on Cerazette for around two years, then deicded to come off it around two months ago, due to bad skin and in all honesty i just wanted regular periods again as i couls go without one for a few months, since i came off it two months ago i had one period straight away then thats it, i have now taken two pregnancy tests and i have been quite close to taking another one till reading this.
What really is the regular amount of time it takes for you to have a period again? Before i go spend to much money on pregnancy tests again lol.
I would never recommend Cerzazette to anyone, my moods have been all over the place since.
Thankyou, Beckie xxx

I was on cerazette, I stuck it our for nearly 2 months but I ended up totally depressed and had completely lost my libido, not to mention the spots, my enormous appetite (gained 1 stone in 7 weeks), and severe breast tenderness - just having a shower was painful. I had 2 heavy periods while I was taking the pill but now I have come off it I just have crampy period type pains but no period. I was not told about these side effects when I went to the clinic.
I'm happy to say that I'm losing weight and the depression lifted within 1 week of stopping the tablet. My libido is back XD but now I have the contraception dilema again - am thinking of the copper coil as I don't want hormones again.

I've been on it for about 6 months but it is making the fiberous lumps in my breast grow so the doctor said I should come off it. Been off for 5 days and have just started bleeding. Although not alot. So maybe this is just withdrawal and I'll have to wait for my proper period.

I came off cerezette 2 years ago after taking it for a year with no periods at all. about 6 weeks later had really bad stomache pains - like labour, they lasted 2 weeks until i discover i was pregnant. 9 months later a healthy baby boy. So for me it def didn't reduce fertility. After the pregnancy i took it again and have stopped it about 2 months ago and still no period and this time no pregnancy either. Glad to here other people are having the same trouble and its normal.

I have been taking this pill for 5-6 years now and have loved it!
I was recommended the pill after trying many and getting migranes. After i started taking this, there was a little weight gain but no periods. I couldn't get a supply for a few weeks a couple of years ago and did have one period when not taking it but apart from that, i haven't had a period in 5 years or so.
For someone who gets very heavy (and bed-ridden!) periods, i would recommend this pill. For those thinking of having kids soon, i probably wouldn't. My nurse told me that i would have to be off this thing realistically for a year before i got pregnant. Good thing i'm not thinking of it anytime soon then!!

This has been so helpful. I was prescribed this pill about 4 months ago because of migraines but decided to come off of it a week or so ago because of wieght gain and spots. My periods were always regular with microgynon but I had none with this pill. Still havent had one since coming off and was starting to panic I was pregnant due to all wieght gain being on stomach and breasts. Have done 3 tests and all negative. Now I know not to panic as can take a while to return. Thanks girls

Hi, this thread has put me at ease. I have been on cerazette for 2 months now, the first month was fine then had a really long period. but for the last 3 weeks my stomache has been swelling. my mum says i look about 4 months pregnant. i was really worried as i hadn't had a proper period this month and the cramps are terrible. i've also had wierd flutterings in my stomache, which feel like contractions. i spoke to a doctor and he said it could be IBS, but i think he's wrong, he just kind of shrugged it off, and said i could come off it if i want. wasn't helpful at all. not what you really want to hear when you look pregrant and getting cramps that make you double over.
i am definately coming off this pill. going to take the risk with condoms. i dont want to risk not ever being able to have kids etc!!
Thanks for all your posts was really good to know that i'm not the only one going through this.

Hi,
I took Cerazette after having trouble on the normal pill with mood swings on my week off. Thinking that taking a pill all the time would prevent this. After 4 months of being on the pill i started getting really sick, serve stomach cramps i couldnt move, such bad headaches and s=crying, a temperature really bad spots etc etc. It was right around the time of swine flu just breaking out and my doctor put ti down to suspected swine flu!!! but i never got any better, i thought about it and decided to read my pill packet as it was reasonably new and when i read the side effects page it was as if somebody was reading what was wrong with me - to me! So i immediately stopped taking it, and started readi forums and just got loads of women sayin the same thing as me. I now however have all the symptoms of a period with no period, i've taken a pregnancy test and am not pregnant either!
In conclusion i would say that this is the worst pill around, there is a reason its one of a kind, because its shocking! It messes your body up and puts it in an un natural cycle. Don't use it!!!

Have been on this pill for nearly a year following the birth of my daughter. Unlike a lot of the women on this forum lack of periods was not the problem while on this pill, in fact I couldn't stop bleeding and in the few days I wasn't bleeding I had absolutely no sexual appetite what so ever. Now I've stopped the thing 5 weeks ago and I've not had a period... TYPICAL! Also we have now decided we want another baby and am v worried after reading this that it has affected my fertility. Like the other ladies have been feeling period pain etc though! DON'T TAKE THIS PILL!!!!!!!!

I took this pill for about three years and stopped it last July, I have had IBS on and off since puberty but never as bad as with cerazette, my bowel movements were so frequent I could barely leave the house, and got into a real state afraid to go out. I stopped taking it and the bloating and cramps were awful you really feel inflated. I actually measured my waist one day for clothes and then bloated up so I thought I would see how much my stomach swelled.....I had a 30 inch waist and it swelled by 5 inches!, The pains subsided I had three normal ish periods then a weird one and then my cycle settled down completely.
As with every contraceptive some work for you ...some don't, but listen to the doctor and do your research. When I asked for cerazette my doctor hadn't heard of it there are always new things coming out so keep your eyes open.
Good luck ladies x

Ohhh my goodness... i am sooo pleased to have found this thread. I stopped taking cerzette 6 weeks ago cause i had missed so mnay days so thought i would wait until i got my period again before i started it and 6 weeks later i still waiting for my period. Have done numerous preg tests just in case and thank goodness its just a matter of waiting. I dont agree with the above user on its the worst pill out... Medications work differently in everybody and while the pill didnt suit her i can think of more high risk contraception pills... cerezette has been brilliant for me so far and iv been on it a year. (apart from not getting a period... but im certainly not complaining lol)
