Cerazette Pill - Irregular And Disturbed Periods
Nov 28, 2013
I have been on the pill for nearly a month now, before I went on the pill, I had really irregular periods, probably one every couple of months, if that.. now last tuesday I noticed I had started my period, but it wasn't a 'proper' period, it isn't enough to worry about it leaking, and it only seems to happen if I use a tampon, last night I used a pad and woke up to nothing so assumed I had finished, but shortly after I thought I should be safe so used a tampon and there was suddenly a lot of blood on it.
Now over the last week and 2 days, it hasn't always been blood, more like weird brown stuff, what should I do, is this normal or shall I go back to the nurse? It's just a nuisance, as although I'm not actually on my period, I can't have sex like it?

I was on Cerazette for 13 months and had a regular period every month for the whole time. I have now stopped taking it (4-5 weeks) can this affect my periods as I am now late.

It's great for me and I have no real problems with it, I no longer get a period which is fine with me! However, when it comes around to the first couple of days of the month I get some of the feelings I used to get when I did get a period like, mood swings, painful tummy, eating non-stop chocolate!! I can handle this as it's only a few days and not unbearable, but I just wanted to know if this is a common thing to happen. Do women usually still feel an effect of their period, without actually having a bleed?

I've been on Cerazette (mini - pill) for 2 years and since I started my periods stopped which was great and what my doctor told me would probably happen. However 3 months ago my periods have seem to have come back the same time each month as if I'm not on the pill anymore. The only thing that I can think of that's caused this is that i've change the time i'm taking my pill from about 9am to 6pm could this be why? I thought after my first period I might just need to settle back but maybe not!
Just wondered if anyone can help me is this normal? I've read that irregular bleeding can occur but this seems to be pretty regularly, it's really annoying!
I'm thinking of changing to the implant will this be a better option? or as it's the same kind of hormone will my periods still carry on?

I have gotten the implant in April 2015, and I thought this would help me through my periods as they were quite painful at times. I tried the pill, but since I'm already taking epilepsy medication, I didn't like the idea of taking another pill as well as them! In anyway, my periods are very irregular.. I mean, I could sometimes have spotting for a few days, or mistake it for a period because it's so light.. Then maybe, I could have two periods a month because of this! It's very annoying, as I don't even know when I'm going to have my next period, and I don't even get the symptoms i useta anymore.. It's such a pain!! Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I have just started Cerazette yesterday and I am wondering how reliable it is. I have a long term partner and I am wondering if we need to use protection when having sex or can I trust this method of contraception?

I started Cerazette about 6 months ago as I'm in my late thirties and my periods were becoming more painful, plus, condoms were started to irritate me. since starting it I had one tiny bleed and that's it, it's a revelation but I am constantly worried that I'm pregnant as it's odd not having periods and I have read that women have got pregnant on this pill, I have always taken it correctly. I may be being silly but if I'm not getting periods does that mean that I am not ovulating either, hence, would not be able to get pregnant and if I was accidentally to get pregnant on the pill then would i still be able to use a pregnancy test whilst still on the pill, i.e. would it show up? I'm just paranoid that after my Husband and I have had sex that a week later I take a test!!! Any ones views on this would really put my mind at rest as I'm considering coming off it just to get a period even though I don't want one!!!

I was taking cerazette (mini pill) for approx 3 months but I started to notice a lot of hair loss. My GP told me to stop the pill and wait for it to get out of my system - I also had blood tests just to rule out thyroid problems and low ferritin - all ok. I stopped for 6 weeks but had no period and hair loss still the same, very noticeable. I went back to docs who said could be low oestrogen so commenced me on microgynon - been taking this for 3 weeks now but hair still the same! All falling out round hair line and breaking all over. At a loss what to do now. Wondered if cerazette can mess with cortisol level?? I am a healthy person, I eat well and exercise daily, I don't drink alcohol or smoke. I do suffer from insomnia don't know if that's linked. Any advise would be really appreciated.

Just wanted to provide information for people thinking about or just starting cerazette mainly because all I could find were people's horror stories before starting it so thought I'd add a positive review of the pill. It's a progesterone only contraceptive pill.
I started it just under a year ago and have loved it. I originally went on it due to a very long menstrual cycle. My bleeding was totally normally - rarely very heavy, no period pain and lasting between 5 and 7 days. But my cycle as a whole was quite erratic and very long on average over the course of a year - my average cycle length over a year was 37 days. The doctors found nothing wrong after blood tests etc so said not to worry and if I wanted it more controlled to go on the pill. So I did.
I started it on day 1 of my cycle back in november 2013 and that is the last normal period I have had. I've had a couple of days of very light spotting each month and 2 periods (both of which were very light and only about 3 days in length) in almost a year.
Many people talk about weight gain and I have not changed my diet or exercise routine at all and my weight has fluctuated by about a kilo. So really my weight hasn't changed. I have not suffered any depressive moods or mood swings. Though before starting cerazette my only symptom of an upcoming period was tender breasts and I still get that occasionally.
I've also not had any headaches or an increase in acne. Being 24 I still get the occasional spot but they've not gotten worse or more prevalent since starting cerazette.
Overall I'm really happy with cerazette as I've also not gotten pregnant over this past year which is particularly delightful as I do not want a child at the moment. It is also the only method of birth control me and my boyfriend have been using since March.
If you have any questions about it let me know, it can be really daunting searching the internet and reading people's experiences on cerazette as some of them are horrific but here is a positive one. Its worked exactly how I wanted it to except instead of making my periods regular, got rid of them which is even better!

My GP gave me cerazette, and after taking it for a while I broke out in acne so stopped. But the pain then got miles worse. Last night I had an ultrasound which showed my left ovary has moved to the back of my uterus, causing me awful pain.
I am wondering now was it the Cerazette that caused this, or was it going to happen anyway and should I have persevered with the pill.
I have read so much conflicting information so I wondered if anyone knows?
Also, I have been told by 2 doctors that laparoscopy makes the problem worse, but one told me it doesn't. I am so confused.
Lastly, has anyone tried the estrogen metabolism tablet DIM Plus? I read the reviews and it sounds good but I am so nervous to try any other tablets.

I took Cerazette for 9 days, felt so ill i came straight off it. Anxiety attacks, racing heart, was off work for 8 weeks it was a nightmare. its now 3 months on, my periods are getting somewhat back to normal, but i've been left with a fast heart rate. I've been rushed to A&E a few times its been so fast i thought i was having a heart attack. i'm now on beta blockers to keep it under control until it's investigated. its ok sat down, but if i try and walk or do anything it goes through the roof.
I've heard of other women that have had this but i'm desperate to find out whether it will eventually go back to normal on it's own or has it left me with long term issues.

I've been on Cerazette for the last 10 months or so, I don't get a period with this pill, so I don't know if I've missed it or not. The last 2 weeks I've been feeling so tired, all the time, from when I wake up till I go to bed, stomach cramps, feeling sick, and lots of headaches. I'm confused as I don't know whether these are pregnancy symptoms or something else?

I stopped taking Cerazette after approx 8 years of taking it. I didn't really have much break through bleeding and no periods whilst taking it maybe a handful of times over the 8 years.
My last pill was last Monday and by the Saturday I started bleeding (but it was more like the breakthrough - brownish), only enough to use a panty liner rather than a pad or tampon. We are wanting to start a family as I'm 31 and have no children yet but I am wondering whether this is my first period or not? I had period pains with it which I've not had before.

I was wondering if anybody could help or possibly share their experiences? I stopped taking Cerelle on the 1st July 2014 due to suffering from migraines, since coming off it I haven't been using any contraception on order by my GP due to suffering from migraines. I was wondering how long it took other people's periods to come back? I have had spotting now and again but nothing else, it will have been 9 weeks tomorrow since I stopped taking it and my GP told me they would return to normal quite quickly.

I had unprotected sex twice with my partner we knew what we were doing there was no mistakes about any of this... I had unprotected sex roughly about 10 days before my period actually came. I am regular with my periods always the 30th or 31st give or take a couple of days I'm fairly lucky to be that regular... I have had my period but I am wondering if having my period means that I am not pregnant? Does implantation take a few weeks? I have been stupidly tired over I'd say the last couple of days with a dull headache that won't shift! Bloated with back pain and breasts seem to look a little larger than normal?

So, I'm 15, never had sex or done any type of foreplay or even touched myself and I started my period a week after I turned 11. I've NEVER had a regular period and I just started charting it to see how many times I skipped, however charting it all I'm REALLY messed up.
August: 2 days of going to the bathroom whipping once and getting a very light pink/red clear vaginal fluid on the toilet paper, but only once each day.
September: 3 days of going to that bathroom whipping once and getting a very light pink/red clear vaginal fluid on the toilet paper, but only once each day.
October: 2 days of going to that bathroom whipping once and getting a very light pink/red clear vaginal fluid on the toilet paper, but only once each day. On the 3rd day I got a bit more of a red colored clear fluid when I whipped once, but that is all.
I have told my mom and she said she'd take me to a doctor, but I know she's too busy for me. I'm really sad, scared, and angry.

I have been married for 4 months but been with my husband 2 years. We are talking about having a baby, but my periods are very irregular. This topic may sound the same as others, but I can't find any with irregular periods like mine. In 2011, I had 2 periods 8 months apart that were roughly 2 weeks long each. I started my first in April. I started the deposit shot in October and had the next period in December. In 2012, I had 4 periods. March - June. They were about 4-5 days each. I got off the shot in June. The next period I got started two days ago. My husband and I have sex every day so that wouldn't be an issue with us with conceiving. I have no idea if or when I will ovulate. I was going to buy some kits but have no idea where to start. I want to see a gyno but haven't been added to his insurance yet. Anyhoo, I figured asking for advice would help me out and anyone else who have periods like I do.

I recently just had my period like on the 6th of this month and it is now the 14th and has been 9 going on to 10 days that I have been experienced bleeding. This is my first time experiencing this my periods are usually normal and regular this time it's longer than usual and irregular. Should I be concerned? I recently asked my doctor this and she told me if the bleeding doesn't stop within a week then come back. I've also been experiencing low abdominal pain and fair back pain. Could this maybe be a miscarriage?
