Help! Coming off Cerazette

11 replies

PrincessMarm · 17/06/2019 17:02

Hi,

So I am new to this, myself and my other half finally (!) decided I'd come off the pill. I came off cerazette (POP) on 1st June and still haven't had a withdrawal bleed. I've had cramps and sore boobs / nipples on and off for a week or so.

Anyone experienced the same, or know how long I should wait until I should speak to a GP? Could there be an underlying issue if I haven't had withdrawal bleed?

I just want to get my cycle back on track so I can track it properly.

Thanks in advance :)

I should mention I'm 31 and haven't been pregnant before.

6 months before you see the GP. I didn't get a withdrawal bleed coming off cerezette, just had a period 4 weeks after stopping.

It took exactly 5 weeks after i stopped taking it for me to have a withdrawal bleed when i stopped taking it i was on it for about 10 years.

I didn't have a withdrawal bleed, not everyone does. It did take me 10 weeks to get my first period too. So try not to worry and give it time.

I came off it in August 2018 and I didn't have a withdrawal bleed. I had a proper period 4-5 weeks later. I got back into a normal rhythm every 26 days straight away which amazed me

I came off cerazette end of August and was pregnant by October. In that time
I had one period.

I came off mine, and fell pregnant within 4 weeks, no withdrawal bleed. Was obvs trying but didn't expect it to happen so quick.

I also came off the mini pill on 1st June and haven’t had a withdrawal bleed, I don’t find that strange/worrying at all. Would expect it 28 days afterwards.
Or actually not at all, as I have a feeling I am pregnant :-/
But last time I came off the pill it took 28 days anyway

Took six weeks for my period to come back, then fell pregnant on the second try.

Thank you for your replies everyone :) It has been reassuring!

I only had concerns as usually if I forget two or three days I spot, so just feeling a bit odd.

I think I will try a pregnancy test - just in case

It took my 8 weeks to get a period. So try and be patient- although difficult if you want to get on with trying! For a month after stopping the pill I had cramps and nausea too. You'll likely ovulation first before your first period so an opportunity to fall pregnant straight away if you are lucky!

I was going to say - any chance you're pregnant? I fell pregnant within a couple of days after coming off cerazette without ever having a period x
