Looking to hear from ladies who came off the cerazette/cerelle pill

[dangle90]

Hi ladies.
so due to finish my final pill pack in 2 weeks and just wanted to hear from people who came off the same pill.
How were your moods? Did your sex drive change? And obviously the big one how long until you conceived.
I know everyone's different but I just don't know what to expect :)

I stopped Cerazette after Christmas, had a period in January, got pregnant in February. A bit a shock, I was assuming it'd take at least 6 months for periods etc to settle. Hormones are mysterious things!

Thanks for replying to my post everyone :)
Gosh user and sticky you didn't have to wait long did you bet that was a nice surprise! I hate the unknown, I was thinking the same too that there might be a backlog of af up there haha glad to hear it shouldn't be like that x

I came off it August 2015, no withdrawal bleed but cycles settled to between 29 and 33 days straight away. Still no BFP but that is likely to be due to other factors.

Phew. Relieved to hear that no one's had mega-bleeds after stopping.

Before I had my you gest son I was off cerazette for 5 weeks when I had 2 days of spotting and was preg a few weeks later! This year I came off it end of July, had a period 8th August and found d out I was pregnant weeks later, sadly it wasn't a good outcome (not due to coming off pill) and I'm currently ttc again! Tho be mindful that coming off cerazette can give you pregnancy symptoms for a few months when period is due!!

I didn't so much come off it as forget to take it... my sex drive improved, moods did too. Oh, and I conceived straight away. literally the day I forgot to take it

That's crazy after just one day ovaries!
Interesting to hear all of your stories, I'll have to keep you all updated with how I get on! X

I had terrible headaches and dizziness the first 2 months. My cycles started off a bit long but settled after a couple of months. It took me 5 months to conceive.

super duper faint squinter? hpt. ov on 16th, 29days post cerelle

I can see something there julez! And you only came off the pill 29 days ago? Congrats! Xx

I came off cerelle in November 2015 had a withdrawal bleed then had my first proper period 28 days later in December, had a period every month until April when I got my bfp im now 3 weeks away from meeting my little girl!
I was really lucky that my periods/cycles came back straight away but I recommend seven seas pre conception tablets :) good luck xxx

im hoping its guna stick & get darker in a few days. would love an august baby

You'll have to keep us posted julez!
Aww that's lovely cnchapman! Bet you can't wait!! I'll look into the pre conception tablets thanks Hun :) x

used a cheap £2 "sure sign ultra early" (15mlU) with second urine of day (held for 8hrs as busy in work)
afraid to get hopes up incase it doesnt stick as seems to have happened too easily, off mini pill 1 month & already got bfp? also bought frer 2pack @ £8 but will keep those for next week

Congrats I don't think it's impossible - by the time I realised I was probably pg I was on my 2nd missed period (had got so used to not having them I'd not really noticed the first one!) so similar timeline...

thanks!

Awww congrats julez that's such good news!!!
10 pills left for me.... not that I'm counting!
Found out I have alopecia areata yest so need something to concentrate on :( x

Hi ,I am new to all of this. I have been on cerezette since 2003, my doctor changed my pill 2years ago to Cerelle. I have not had a period since 2003. I took my last pill on 23.10 and still no sign of withdrawal or monthly period. I have had sore boobs and a bit of bloating but no sign of monthly cycle! Me and my partner are TTC and all I seem to read is horror stories! Anyone had any positive stories when coming off this pill

My last pill is today so I will keep you posted! Sorry I can't be much more help. Good luck

Dannii unfortunately it's pretty normal to have a weirdly long first (and subsequent) cycles off the pill. My first was 50 days and then 23 days. It's frustrating. It's annoying and I can't begin to think how upset you are at a 2 month cycle. I cried happy happy tears when I finally got my period. I tested only once at CD36 but I kinda knew I wasn't pregnant. FX AF comes soon for you. X

Thanks Mousehole, do I sit and wait or shall I go to the doctors after 3 months or something? Finding it really frustrating now as we are not getting any younger and I really hoped I would be one of the lucky ones who had my cycle back to normal. X

Does today make CD46? (I'm great at counting) also mousehole omg I'm laughing so hard.

I would think anything over 80 days would be cause for concern. I have every faith that you'll get AF soon. Relaxing reaaaaalllly helps. So lots of nice long baths and some exercise. I remember being really bloated and uncomfortable but that all went with the first AF. X

Lol!!! Sorry Mouselove!!! It's been a long day! Yeah that is correct. Hopefully it comes soon! I am very much into my fitness going to the gym 5 times a week. I'll try the baths and see if that helps me! I'll keep you posted x

Anyone else have any experience of coming off this pill? These pregnancy symptoms are driving me crazy... must....not....test
