Coming off Cerelle

Hi becky5544, I came off 21-9-19 and got my period today only previously had sore boobs neusea and back ache. I've not had any spotting or bleeding I'm told up to 3months is normal. I've been taking folic acid and maybe coincidence but I started exercise last night and today I got my period haha.

Hi I'm new to this but I have read this thread a few times and been scared to post but here goes! so we got married end of September so I stopped taking the cerelle on our wedding day. I decided to take a break and get my normal cycle back before trying for a baby in the new year. Anyway had sore boobs as soon as I came off like Madonna vogue type sore! even my clothes brushing past was agony. Anyway got sore again a couple of weeks ago but can finally say I got my period today! Physically feeling ouch but mentally I'm feeling normal and realised how much I want this. I was worried as I went for an xray after a bad fall last week and nurse advised me should of had a period in first four weeks and to go to my gp next month if I hadn't. Anyway this bleed is not heavy but not spotting would this one still be a withdrawal bleed even though I've waited 2 months? Tia and thanks for posting your journeys helped a lot whilst waiting for pmt.

Hi there wondering if anyone can help me?

Me and my partner are TTC our second child I came off cerazette in September 2 weeks late had a withdrawl bleed which lasted 6 days and still no period I'm starting with almost like pregnancy symptoms ( sore boobs, lower back pain, neausua) done a test and it's a BFN :( with our first child I fell pregnant within a month of stopping cerazette this time it's taking longer is this normal?

So glad I found this chat. I've come off the pill, cerelle at the beginning of september mainly because we went away for the weekend and I forgot it so I thought after 3 yeara I'll have a break. Still no period and no sign of sore boobs, but I've got a massively short fuse, bloating, back ache and period pain but still nothing and no chance of being pregnant! I've never wanted a period so much!

Hey @AdventureAhead I hope your journey is shorter than ours is being. My time line update is I'm still waiting for my period. It's "late" according to the average cycle length, but obviously I don't know how long mine should be. I've done a test and I'm not pregnant, so is back to waiting. I'll update here when I know more but I do have a blog where I do updates too.

... take longer than I thought for my body to get back to normal. Everyone is different bit I've found this thread really helpful. Thanks for sharing your experiences :)

P.s sorry about the 2 part message. Clicked post by accident. As I say, I'm new here!

@itallstartedhere that's a really useful timeline. Thanks. New to Mumsnet and just come off Cerelle so we can start trying for baby number 1. After reading all the posts here it seems like it will

Thought I'd update. I do have a blog post about it but I'll do it here too.
Came off the pill mid April.
So I had what I guess was a withdrawal bleed mid-June.
Nothing
More nothing- starting taking conception vitamins.
Period the first week of this month after having positive ovulation tests two weeks before.
Waiting to see if I have another period to work out my cycle length but have DTD just in case it might work.

Hope the timeline might help others.

Laura, had a bleed last month and thought this was withdrawal bleed, another bleed was due 12th Sep but sadly nothing. Was at hospital yesterday for more blood tests and have an appointment next month, husband also needs to provide swimmer sample
Time is against us, doubt it will happen

@Delly74 I know! I've now had a full period for 4 days at the start of september but been taking obvulation tests and just had the blank circle. Hard to work all this out when the last time I had a period was in June 😢. Gonna keep taking an obvulation test every day this month and see what happens.

Hi I am looking for some advice, so I came off the cerelle pill 8th August and had 2 days of very light pink bleeding two days after stopping the pill, also had lots of symptoms sore boobs feeling sick headaches tiredness and also being sick so I took a pregnancy test and there was a faint positive line which I was excited about, but decided to do another one and it was negative waited another week that one was also negative but I’m still having all the symptoms of pregnancy I remember them when I was pregnant with my daughter,, can someone please help me I’m going out of my mind!

@L4uraRx have also been to clinic and they said to go to doctors as they don't deal☹️will keep going a while life longer but time is of the essence

@itallstartedhere I know! I've been to the docs just to see if everything was ok but she told me not to worry start taking the folic acid tablets and 'enjoy' the trying lol. They wouldnt consider referring us to a clinic until we have been trying for a year.

Just keeping my fingers crossed but hard to sort out the ovuatlion calendar when I haven't had any more blood since they 4 days in june 🙈😔 xx

@L4uraRx this sounds harsh but I'm glad it isn't just me!!!! I've started taking a conception vitamin thing as it's meant to support reproductive health. I'm going to give that a month and then go to the doctors if nothing starts.

I get the NHS is jammed. But you deserve some clarity in regards to what your body is doing @Delly74 I'd be getting myself another doctors appointment. Or maybe a sexual health clinic might offer some help?

I had blood tests but was not offered Clomifene or a progesterone withdrawal test, I have been in touch with the hospital asking why I haven't been offered these but to be honest I came away from the hospital with my head buzzing, nothing was explained to me. Doctor said whatever will be will be :(

@Delly74 Wow thats quick for them to get to that conclusion I heard most doctors make you try for a year before even investigating.

I came off it in June had my first cycle after 33 days and now ovulating according to OPK tests. We shall see I am trying to be positive but I know its just not as easy as it seems to get pregnant at my age ( I am 38 will be 39 next month)

Hi there, I'm exactly the same. I stopped in April. Had blood for 4 days in June and nothing since and I'm not pregnant. Dont understand it x

Oh my goodness @Delly74 that's scary. Did they do any blood tests or medication to try and reboot your cycle first? Or just told you that IVF is the way forward?

I came off in April too. Had a week bleed in June but nothing since and I'm not pregnant.
I best get myself to the doctors.

I stopped Cerelle in April, its now August and I haven't had a bleed and have been told by the doctor that I need to go down the route of IVF if I want to conceive.

So glad to read other people that are on same pill as me.
So I missed a few pills last month stress and stuff and me my DP DTD but seeing as it takes couple of days for your womb to return to normal doubt I am pregnant but did a test last week it was a BFN but will probably test again this week as then it will be a month.
However we have decided to start TTC properly so stopped Cerelle this week my last pill I took was Sunday morning. So guess see what happens from here on in really. Excited/nervous as I am older so not holding out much hope of it happening quickly.

Congrats @RebootYourEngine!! I have been following your journey on here and I am so delighted to hear your good news.
I am eventually on the TTC journey. So excited and so hoping it happens for me quickly.

@CrazyFooLady
I was definitely really sleepy when I stopped and had some stomach pains too. My moods were all over the place and my boobs hurt more recently too. My skin also went really blotchy and then dry.
It's mad what it can do to you.
I would say that unless you're certain you aren't to do a test the right time after possible conception.

Hi, I’m new here but I’m sending myself crazy so would really appreciate some advice.
I’ve been taking cerelle (mini pill) for 8 years with no problems. Me and my partner have decided to try for a baby so I took the last pill on Saturday (6 days ago) we have been having a lot of ‘fun time’ since then but he has a problem with delayed ejaculation so hasn’t actually ejaculated in me yet. Sorry if TMI.
Past 2 days I have been feeling as sick as a pig, falling asleep at stupid times in the day and just generally feel pants. I’ve also got a weird kind of heavy stomach with aches/cramps.
Is this a side effect of coming off the pill?! I know the chances of being pregnant already are really slim.
Thanks for any advice x

So sore boobs = period soon.

Stopped taking the pill after 5 years with no period, 14th April.

Period started 14th June.

So happy... even though the cramps are a bitch. It means we can look to start trying now 😊
There is hope. Xx
