Hi, I haven't been on here since my ds1 (9) and ds2(7) were babies. I am now very happily re-married and dh and I decided to try for our first baby together. I came off cerazette (been on it years) 31st December 2015 so just over 3 weeks ago. I had horrendous period pains for about a week that finished last weekend, so bad I was bent double, no sign of any period. Friday night (tmi, sorry) I begun having alight bloody discharge, when going to the toilet. I thought ok so I'm not pregnant and this is the first period for years and was disappointed but relieved my body was doing what it was supposed to. However yesterday there was still no red blood, just pink sort of slimy mucous (sorry!) not a lot on a pad. Today it is similar. After ds1 I had one period and was pregnant, with ds1 no bleeding at all and was pregnant straight away. I don't know if this is a period or possibly implantation bleeding (although doubtful as had BFN yesterday) or withdrawal bleed?? I don't know if I should count Friday as 1st day of period or even if it is a period? I know any doctor will just say 'be patient' but I don't know what's going on! Any advice very welcome!

I have some so I think I will start the opk's. Does this sound like just spotting? Now being Monday and it is still either pink or brown

No bleeds. Longest cycle was 51 days. But the one I conceived on was going to be much shorter, more like 35 days. I thought I was pregnant so often with symptoms. Yes, just the cheapy sticks - and started tracking everything in an app.

Sophie did you have any small bleeds/spotting between the 45 days? Did you use opk? I suppose j better use them as have no idea what's happening!

Cerazette really messed me up. Took 7 months for AF to sort itself out - cycles were all 45+ days and had horrendous side effects after stopping it. But am now pregnant, so bear with it.

Thanks so much for replying. There hasn't been any actual blood, so I guess this isn't a proper period just spotting?! As I said, fell pregnant straight away first 2 times and only since googling this time round I realise so many people had problems conceiving after cerazette.

Took me about three months to settle down then conceived first "normal" cycle.

Hi, I've come off cerazette twice now. Both times it took around 6 weeks before I had a proper period and during those weeks I had a combination of cramps, spotting, pms... Both times I wondered what was going on and took pregnancy tests (negative) before finally getting a proper period.

With dc1 I conceived during the next cycle. With dc2 I had one more period and conceived the cycle after.

Good luck!

Bumping in hope?

Hi amy, I tested yesterday and it was negative and Iv read conflicting things. I have no idea if or when I have ovulated so one place will say I would have a positive test by now, yet another place says a positive won't show until at least 6 days later (if there is implantation bleed). There is hardly anything there so I'm confused as to if this is a period or not. If it is I don't know when to count from?

Why don't you try a test just to rule it out or in
