Cerazette poll: how long after stopping did you conceive?

I know there's loads of horror stories but some people say it only took 2 weeks to conceive after stopping. I want to get pg asap after stopping - whats the average time?

I was on Cerazette for 4 years (taking double doses for 2 of those years as I was overweight) and came off it the first week in November (2014). I got my first period on Christmas Eve and got my positive test on Valentine's Day!

Was on Cerazette for 7 years, came off July, pregnant October.
Amazing considering DS took over a year, and DD 4 years to conceive.

It took me about 14 months.

I was on Cerazette for ten years. Came off mid December, had a period mid January and I'm now 5 weeks pregnant!

Stopped Cerazette, had one period, then got pregnant on both times of trying. Current 6ish weeks with no.2.

I was on cerazette about 10 years, stopped taking it first of jan 2015, had spotting for three days on 22nd then full period 28 days later so seems my body is back to normal pretty quick

Days later got my period lasting 5days ( or so I thought after a nurse today told me it probably wasn't ) havnt bled since but if it was I'm 14 days late.
Stomach is swollen extremely tired breast a little tender

Good luck and we'll wishes to u all

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone has been on cerazette for a long time and now trying ttc? I was on the pill for about 6 years after my daughter was born, since then I've remarried and wanted to try for baby number 2, ive been off the pill for about 3 months and so far nothing, also my monthly cycle is messed up I was 5 days early this month, any advice would be welcome

underrugsswept · 20/04/2016 14:06

I stopped taking it 6 months before TTC and got pregnant on my first cycle.

lavenderdoilly · 20/04/2016 14:07

A month - I'm an old codger as well.

Onsera3 · 20/04/2016 14:11

I started taking it while BF and my periods hadn't come back. But I was having cyclical pain so took it.

I only took it for about 6 weeks (affected my bad pelvic floor) and it took 6 months for the cyclical pain to come back- with my period arriving soon after.

So I think it really impacted my return to periods/fertility.

Loisk35 · 20/04/2016 14:44

Thanks guys this is really helpful my age is not on my side I'm 35, feeling really down about it, got pregnant on my first attempt with my first child this time it's taking longer,

Junosmum · 20/04/2016 16:31

I stopped in March, had a period 14th April (exactly 28 days after stopping and got a bfp on 11th May. The first month off the pill we didn't try.

underrugsswept · 20/04/2016 16:33

My second BFP took 5 months and I didn't go back on the pill between them so I don't think you can necessarily point the finger at Cerezette TBH.

lanbro · 20/04/2016 16:35

Another one for less than 2 weeks without any period

Loisk35 · 20/04/2016 17:12

Thanks guys I hope I get my bfp over the next few months,

Flanderspigeonmurderer · 20/04/2016 17:15

I think I had two periods then conceived on the first try. Hope that helps!

Nicolalmartin · 18/11/2016 09:45

I stopped taking cerrelle pill on 2nd of october and not had a period yet im trying for a baby but not got cort yet can any one give me some advice plz

HannahGS · 23/08/2022 11:32

Hi, sorry to bring up a really old thread! I'm new to all of this.

I was on Cerazette for 10 years, originally put on it as I had horrendously heavy and irregular periods as a young teen. I haven't had any periods in the 10 years that I was on it. I am happily married to my childhood sweetheart and have been of cerazette for 8 weeks now, and trying to conceive. Problem is, I have had no periods since being off the pill and cannot track my cycle as a result. I am so worried that I have damaged my body and not going to be able to conceive. Any advice would be appreciated, or any women happy to share their stories?

Mayfield87 · 23/08/2022 16:16

Hi @HannahGS have you had the withdrawal bleed since stopping Cerazette? x

HannahGS · 23/08/2022 16:55

Nope, is that a must?

CornishGem1975 · 23/08/2022 16:58

First month

Mayfield87 · 23/08/2022 18:43

@HannahGS I stopped Cerelle a week ago Monday, and I've just started spotting which I think is my withdrawal bleed. I believe my period should follow about 4 weeks later from what I've googled but I would stress too much as everyone is different. Maybe give it another month or so and then ask GP their advice. They'll no typical time frames x
