Coming off Cerelle

@31TTC it's 25th September! I'm so excited but more excited to try for a baby haha. We will probably try a bit before the wedding tbh.

Keep us updated with your house move!! Xx

What’s the wedding date?! @HMFx
Sure it’ll all be amazing!

Hoping for some news on it next week 🤞🏼Xxx

@31TTC yes I’m hoping that’s the case. People tell me you won’t stress about a thing in the day so I’m trying to get into that mindset now haha.

Oh yes solicitors are the worst. I’ve only dealt with a handful that are actually helpful!!!! Just keep pestering until you get your answers. Xx

@HMFx ahhh so glad your dress fits!! I bet a wedding is super stressful too but I’m sure you have more done that you realise!
It’s the solicitors - they’re messing about! Apparently they’re all renowned for it! Xxx

@RM9827 thank you lovely! Hope yours eases too. It’s so hard being a woman 😅

@31TTC thank you lovely! I’m super excited. Also excited for the wedding too but it’s getting closer and I feel very unprepared. I tried my dress on again two days ago and it fits so that’s a big relief after three lockdowns 😂. Hope all goes well with your house move. I can imagine how stressful. I work in new build sales and always hear it from my customers. Sending lots of positivity your way xxx

Oh have fun TTC @HMFx and keep us updated with wedding bits!!

We’re currently waiting for our house move to go through so defo have enough stress already! X

@HMFx exactly like me! My boobs were agony but they're so much better now, though its given me complete boob dear. However now I'll just get an occasional twinge but it's random to where or which side it happens.
I'm still waiting before TTC, but I took some ovulation tests out of curiosity to make sure everything is back up and running, but I forgot to do it on the 2 days my app said would be my ovulation! I'll get round to it eventually

But glad to hear it's all easing off for you!

@Fghost - I'm only on my second period since coming off and it is heavy but mine usually are. Pains are worse than I remember. I definitely have more symptoms and PMS than ever before. Hoping yours settle down for you!!

@Dwc94 - Good luck with your journey :)

Congrats @xTinkerbell and @Beehappy21 - sorry just catching up!

Thought I would update on my journey since coming off Cerelle.

I had a bleed about 4 weeks after stopping the pill which was like a normal period so I counted it as such.

My doctors didn't find any reason for my irregular bleeding thank goodness and said everything looked great and if I want to try for a pregnancy they see no issues! So happy.

I'm now on my second period although it's only been about 23 days cycle this month. Before the pill I was always super regular of 28 days.

@RM9827 - I was the same with the sore boobs! Never had anything like it. Even small movements hurt!! Much better now and have settled but still worse than they used to be. I have also been taking ovulation tests and last month just got negatives but my app worked out the day I ovulated and sods law I didn't take a test around that day so not sure. Will find out hopefully this month whether I am ovulating.

@31TTC - I am the same with the sex drive and emotions. I literally cry at videos on facebook at the moment lol. Sending you lots of luck in your journey!

Anyway it's lovely to hear from you all and I'm literally counting down until we can TTC once my wedding is out the way in September! To be honest we will probably try a month before the wedding to see what happens. Exciting!!

Hope to hear from you all soon with lots of updates :)

Hey ladies!

Ahhh I’ve missed so much!

@xTinkerbell & @Beehappy21 what amazing news!!! Wishing you both all the best!

@LilyRose202 hey lovely! Keep looking forward to that wedding!

Quick recap - I took my last pill on 4th dec 2020, AF came 4th jan, and has been super regular ever since, only lasts 3/4 days with one super heavy day with horrendous pains. Have found myself with a very high sex drive & super emotional!
Only used OPKs in March, with all low results except 1 result saying peak, then nothing. So now not tracking that, trying to just keep a check on AF & when TTC. Shall see if “not thinking about it” helps! X

Hello everyone! I came off Cerelle on 4th April and had what I assumed to be a very short, light withdrawal bleed a week later. Yesterday I started what I assume to be my first real period, and it's the heaviest bleed I've ever experienced in my life! I only took Cerelle for 6 months, and before that my periods were always wonderfully short and light. Did you ladies find that your periods eventually went back to their normal state after your bodies settled down after coming off Cerelle? I'm really hoping that this is temporary, and the birth control hasn't somehow changed my periods into these awful heavy monsters, because I bled a lot while taking it too. Has anyone else experienced this, and did it calm down with time?

I am so glad I found this thread!

I’ve spent my evening with the most horrific headache I’ve ever had reading all of the posts and have been reassured that my symptoms are normal.

I came off cerelle on 12/4 and was expecting AF but can see now that I may be waiting a while longer! Looking forward to TTC soon!

Hi All, I have just sat and read your conversations and thought I would share my story.
I was on the combined pill for 10+ years and after having headaches I changed to cerelle in October 21. I have terrible acne now all over my face and back due to the pill. Me and my partner decided to come off the pill in Jan, 24th of feb I had a two day bleed. Now I’ve not had anything since!!
I’m so confused can I still get pregnant? My app says my last period was 56 days ago and that just seems crazy.

Thank you!
S x

@LilyRose202

I’m not entirely sure because I didn’t track this cycle and my previous cycles have been a bit of a mess (25, 21 and 36 days since coming off cerelle) but it was on CD26.

Keeping everything crossed it happens soon for you

@xTinkerbell Great news! Congratulations! 😁😁
How many days dpo were you with implantation bleeding? I've had 3 cycles now, next weekend will be my 4th. Trying to act like I don't care but 😬😬 we shall see what happens! I didn't do an ovulation test this month and just hoped for the best tbh. Been focusing on cutting down eating and getting fit instead. Xx

@Beehappy21 thank you! Only 4 weeks so still early but keeping everything crossed.

@LilyRose202 absolutely true for us! I just had my bfp on cycle 4 of trying. First 3 cycles I didn’t use OPK’s but was basically symptom spotting for ovulation etc. The cycle we conceived I didn’t care, didn’t look at my app and didn’t know which day of my cycle I was on until I noticed implantation bleeding and counted the days 😂

@xTinkerbell congratulations!! 😍😍

4th cycle off cerelle and bfp yesterday!

@xxxhazzeexx thank-you! Not long at all, I have my fingers crossed for you!!

@LilyRose202 thank-you.. what an exciting thing to focus on though!! 😍 Hope everything goes perfect for you x

@Beehappy21 Congratulations! Hope you're keeping well.

I am going to take friends' and family advice and (with great difficulty) not going to track for the next few months and see what happens. I have learned that almost everyone I know who has got pregnant did not get obsessed over it and when they didn't track, it happened. So that is the plan! Focusing on getting into my wedding dress with only 3 months to go so that's the aim right now and we will see what happens. 😊 xx

@Beehappy21 wow so not long at all im hoping im not waitng to long hope your feeling better now x

Hey everyone, I've not posted for a few months! I last week found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant 😍! @xxxhazzeexx I took my last pill on the 16th of December, I'm just over 5 weeks.. and I've been ill for a few weeks in between so trying was very last on my priorities 🤦‍♀️ x

hi im new to mumsnet i have recently come off my birth control mini pill i have had my withdrawal bleed wich was quiet heavy lasted 5 days my question is how long did it take you to concieve after stopping your birth control and is there anything i can do to help my body i have just started taking a mutlivitamin thanks

Is anyone still on here.
I stopped taking cerelle on the 11th of january has a light four day bleed around 6 weeks later which i thought was my first period.
Its now time for my second period feel bloated and some cramps but nothing and bfn.
Anybody else been in similar situation?
Been using app as thought my last bleed was a period but not sure i even ovulated this month.
Thanks

Hi guys!
I'm on day 14 of my third cycle since stopping cerelle mid December.
The symptoms have improved greatly! Though breast tenderness appears to be a new symptoms during the ovulation stage for me, which I'm not a fan of. Does anyone else get this?

I've been taking ovulation tests since finishing AF on this cycle as for some reason I'm worried I don't ovulate at all, so just want to check everything is in order. All tests have been negative or very faint so far, so not sure if nothing is happening or if I'm just a bit early on the testing.

Hope you're all doing well!
