Ttc after cerazette

Ok so I have read some real horror stories in respect of trying to conceive after cerazette and thought I would share my story or bore you all with my progress (or possible lack of haha)

So I stopped taking cerazette one week ago at the end of the last packet as me and my partner decided we would start Ttc.

First couple of days I had very light bleeding but felt fine then on the third day I started feeling bloated. To date I am still looking and feeling bloated, feel exhausted and have sore boobs and have been feeling very nauseous.

Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take for you to conceive?

Thanks for reading :)

Did you notice any signs Fairey?

Sheep Waiting until AF is due is sometimes less stressful I think, did you temp or anything? I suppose if you know when you are AF is due you don't need to really. I wouldn't know when mine is going to arrive otherwise (since the pills :/)

Congrats fairey!
Siarie, good luck, I have 10 days left of my 2ww - not sure when to test as I didn't do ovulation sticks, so was just going to wait until af is due, what do you think fairey?

Fairey86 · 07/08/2014 07:43

Just popping up again ladies, I've not posted on here for a while although I have been hanging around seeing how you're all getting on.

Just wanted to say to Georgie - it might be worth a trip to the GP to put your mind at rest if nothing else. I had a similar experience to you 3 years ago - I'd been on cerazette for around a year and never had a period while on it. When I came off it I had nothing, not even any spotting, for over 2 months. I went to GP and told him that while i didn't expect to be pregnant yet, I was slightly concerned that I hadn't seen any sign of AF yet. He did the usual, "don't worry, it's normal" routine and said to go back a couple of months later if still nothing. Anyway, I left the surgery feeling better for hearing a professional tell me what I already knew - then I came on that very afternoon! Grin. Even better than that, I only had that one AF because I got BFP the very next month! Grin

I won't tell you what happened this time when I came off cerazette cos that's just weird but good luck and do what you need to do to put your mind at rest Smile.

Good luck to everyone else too who is about to ov!

mzzzf · 05/08/2014 20:23

They can't reasonably expect you to wait a year for periods return Georgie!!

GeorgieF16 · 05/08/2014 19:05

I've been thinking about going to the doctors but afraid they'll say I have to wait a year etc and then probably use thwith excuse that because I'm not a size 8 that will be the problem.

mzzzf · 05/08/2014 18:06

Good on you Siarie!!
If I do ovulate in the next few days I'll be joining you on it!

Siarie · 05/08/2014 18:00

Update time - so I'm going to be ovulating in the next day or so! Got my positive OPK today but me and DH have been DTD every other day (plus every day of fertile fluid). Were trying the sperm meets egg plan this time around.

I'll soon be in my two week wait also again! Xx

kayleighferrie1985 · 05/08/2014 17:56

Hi Georgie. I stopped taking cerazette on 14th june, and had no withdrawl bleed, and my AF arrived 25 days after. However while on cerazette my AF becomes more frequent (while being on the pill for just over 5 weeks i came on 4 times). I'm currently waiting to see if AF arrives tomorrow. I'd have to agree with mzzzf about seeing your GP if only to see if they can shed any light on things for you

mzzzf · 05/08/2014 17:44

Sheep I'm about CD11 and have been jiggling bits leading up to estimated ovulation on CD14 - we shall see though!

Hi Georgie crap to hear your AF hasn't returned yet and that you've had BFN's. I only came off the pill a little while ago, this is my first cycle, so I don't know about my own AF and whether it'll arrive or not! Normally though progesterone only pills don't give a withdrawal bleed as far as I understand. I don't know how long you're meant to wait but 11weeks seems a long time, have you got a good GP to speak to?

GeorgieF16 · 05/08/2014 17:20

Hi. I'm new to all this so please bear with me.

I was on Cerazette for 2/3 years and whilst on it never had af. My fiance and I have decieded to start ttc so I have come off cerazette. This was 11 weeks ago and I have had no af, not even a withdrawl bleed!. Had been feeling really tired, moody, hotter than usual, nausea and a little light headed. I've done a few test's over the 11 weeks and they have all been negative (last one just over 2 weeks ago) Sad. Can anyone help with what I can do to start af at least so I can start to see when I'm ovulating?

Sheepoverthemoon · 05/08/2014 17:05

How is everyone doing? Im just at the start of my 2ww, although it's starting to feel like a month wait, as it's really after the last af I start waiting for the days to pass

Siarie · 01/08/2014 13:37

I honestly would say you need both OPKS and BBT, because you can get a positive OPK but not actually ovulate which is confirmed by a rise in temp after.

However you might have missed your LH surge on your OPK's and if you temp has risen and stays high along with other fertility signs I could say that suggest you ovulated. So if you noticed changes in your CM such as egg white consistency days before the rise then that also is a sign you may have ovulated.

I'm CD 9 today, so waiting for ovulation myself, here's my charts: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/502bfb

Fairey86 · 01/08/2014 13:17

Fx for your Loopylinx83! Feel your pain on the nausea even tho am only about 5/6 dpo have the same had to leave work early today because it was so bad!

Mzzf I've never used opks but have heard charting bbt helps so would just say get in plenty of BDing!

Strange thing happened last night got out of bed to use the loo in the night and as I did had a sharp pinching pain down there on the left side! Never had that before so hoping it's a good sign :)

mzzzf · 01/08/2014 09:27

Keep those fx Linz, until AF shows it's still 'game on'!

Think I'm coming up to ovulation, changes in CM, BBT going up but the lines on the OPK stick isn't dark, there's a line but it's not strongly coloured... Hmmmm, what do you trust more?

Loopylinz83 · 01/08/2014 07:36

Not feeling great today ladies. Still feeling very nausiated although iv had a few cramps this morning so now i am worries AF is going to make an appearance. Soooo thought this wast the month. I wil keep u's updated.

Fairey86 · 31/07/2014 08:38

On a positive-ish note, I've got noticeably dark rings around my nipples! Now starting to think I may have ovulated slightly earlier as well but didn't use OPK or chart BBT so not sure just going to hold out until I would expect AF to arrive

Fairey86 · 31/07/2014 08:28

Exciting times for us all :)

Sorry to hear your news Siarie but have everything crossed for you this cycle :)

Would be lovely if we a get out BFPs around the same time then we can be bump buddies :p
