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 :)

I'm the same Sheep - I've had cramps/pains/bloatedness for a couple of weeks now, and if my cycle were 28 days then AF would be due to day but nothing yet. No idea what my cycles are doing though as not been off cerazette for long so for now I'm just telling myself they are all cerazette symptoms so I don't get my hopes up too much! May POAS on Wednesday though if still no AF....

FX for everyone!

Thanks - I've had my first af, however I'm getting symptoms (feels different from before my first af though), I don't want to get my hopes up, the clock seems to of stopped waiting to take a test, I keep telling myself it must still be the cerezette

Sheep here you go

The main questions I found relevant are:

What is the difference between progesterone symptoms and pregnancy symptoms, and how long do they last?

Before My period starts I get egg white or watery cervical mucus, is this normal?

Because I've been on the pill for years now I think you feel the symptoms which most women would just ignore. That said I haven't had a bleed yet so I'm not saying I'm not pregnant but I suppose I'm saying that only a positive test is going to tell me that.

Fairey86 · 14/07/2014 11:12

Oh no, sheepoverthemoon I really hope not :/

Siarie could you post that link please? Can you still get post cerazette symptoms after your first AF? If so how many months can the symptoms go on?

Fairey86 · 14/07/2014 10:30

Thanks and exactly!

I hope you get an answer soon!

Must admit will be glad to see the back of AF having been on various forms of contraception since the age of 17 I had forgotten how yuck it really is lol but got to keep positive!

Fairey I'm going to go with "That's great news" because I feel just like you, if I get AF I'll be just as happy so I know whats going on.

Thanks lovely, after doing lots of reading I'm just assuming my symptoms are from the pill today. If that turns out to be wrong great, if not well that's ok too as long as AF comes!

Someone posted a link to an article that basically explained everything to me last night, we all get symptoms every cycle because of the hormone changes and each cycle is different. So basically you just can't symptom spot, because it could mean anything. That makes me feel a lot better and means I can just logically ignore everything up until testing time :)

Hi all, best of luck with your ttc. I was in cerazette for years and years, in my 30s and conceived within 5 months of stopping - don't believe all the horror stories.
Did also want to say, I did get horrible pregnancy type symptoms (nausea, metallic taste in mouth, sore boobs etc) after stopping - believe this is really common. It doesn't last too long, fortunately!

Fairey86 · 14/07/2014 06:23

Update, my AF appears to have started which, as much of a pain as it is, am glad to have some indication my body is getting back to normal post cerazette and has been 28 days since my last pill! Now to get her over and done with to get BDing :)
Our bodies do seem to like playing tricks on us lol good luck to you all and fingers crossed for some BFPs very soon xx

Aww hopefully when you test again you'll know for sure :) I'll yet again keep my fingers crossed for you!

Siarie · 13/07/2014 18:50

So update, I did a IC on FMU this morning and I thought I could see a faint pink like again very faint only visible in certain light tilting a certain way lol!

Did a FRER test and got a BFN just before lunch so not sure what to think at the moment. I think I must be about 9/10 DPO but I've just got loads of EWCM today. I mean literally loads, felt like I was going to find AF down there!

Most of my symptoms have gone today, I had low sore cramps last night and have had them on and off since Wednesday. The only symptom today is my boobs have started getting sore and I can fell slight twinges down there but nothing compared to the last few days.

I really don't know what is going on at the moment, hopefully I'll be able to test in a few days or AF will come. It makes it even more annoying as I don't know if this just coming off cerazette symptoms.

M27J5M · 13/07/2014 17:53

Siarie...how did you get on? Had my fingers crossed for you

newbie1001 · 12/07/2014 06:54

I was on cerazette for 9 years. Stopped taking it at the start of May. One light bleed at end of May then BFP last Monday. I'm about 7 weeks - can't believe it happened so quickly! Good luck everyone!

RhubarbCrumble1 · 11/07/2014 10:22

I came off cerazette in October and had a positive test in December baby is due in august (can't believe the poor body still works after all this messing about...but it seems it does!) x

M27J5M · 11/07/2014 10:14

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

Siarie · 11/07/2014 10:08

It was an internet cheapie but so say early. I wasn't expecting to see anything as it's still early but I really does require squinting! Just hoping it's real now. I'll update this evening/tomorrow x

M27J5M · 11/07/2014 10:03

I can't see pic very well because I'm on phone but I would defo try another test in another few days, is it an early detector test you used?

Siarie · 11/07/2014 09:51

It's too early I think to tell :)

Siarie · 11/07/2014 09:50

You are so sweet, it's so faint I'm not sure if i'm imagining it. Let me show you, I have all the symptoms though and i'm tender down there so fingers crossed eh?

If it is then it will get darker, I just think I'm being a bit mad it's so faint. Sometimes I'm not sure I can see it, then other times I'm certain there is something there.

Ttc after cerazette
M27J5M · 11/07/2014 09:45

A line is a line :) no matter how faint but test again in a few days to confirm :)

Thanks, I've got over the shock now and I'm really happy :) was petrified at 1st as ive not even been with my partner a year yet but know he's not going anywhere so can relax now

Siarie · 11/07/2014 09:37

Oh that's really inspiring as I've been have really weird symptoms, I have come off the pill before and never noticed anything other than a migraine for a few days.

This time I've got all the symptoms of being pregnant, I'm going to be really annoyed if it's just the pill. I took a test this morning and I think I can see a faint line, posted in another thread so waiting to see if I'm crazy or not. But I would only be about 10DPO maybe 9 as I'm not sure when I ovulated.

Congratulations though, although it wasn't expected I'm sure it will be amazing :)

M27J5M · 11/07/2014 09:23

I didn't have any symptoms at all when I 1st came off it and tbh last week when I started getting sore boobs I kinda assumed that it was just symptoms from coming off pill but then when I started getting sicky and really tired, felt hungry constantly but after 1 bite was put off food I began to think that something wasn't right and it wasn't pill, took a clearblue digital and it said negative but I wasn't convinced, used 1st response and super drugs the next day(3 in total) and all 3 had a faint line! Wasn't actually ttc so was a little

done some investigating before I came off pill as it was sending me loopy and lots of people have said they get pregnancy symptoms at time of af for a few months but from what I seen it was only with people who were on it a long time!

Siarie · 11/07/2014 09:10

Hi M27J5M, congratulations on your sticky bean! Can I ask whether you had pregnancy like symptoms while coming off Cerazette? Lots of cramping (not AF cramps), pulling, nausea, headaches (everyone has those I think)?

All the best for the pregnancy xx

M27J5M · 11/07/2014 09:01

I came off Cerazette about 10/11 weeks ago, got light spotting after 6weeks which lasted about 2days, must have ovulated as normal afterwards tho as I've just found out I'm 4 weeks gone! Good luck

Fairey86 · 10/07/2014 12:15

Fingers crossed for you! I also have a feeling but still think I'm going to stick to testing next Friday! I was breathless this morning as well which isn't like me although I've drastically cut down on my smoking as when I get my BFP I know I will stop altogether maybe sooner as I'm really determined this time :)

Hope we all get the bfps soon :) zxx
