Cerelle after birth

2 replies

Had my first baby nearly 3 months ago and have gone back into Cerelle (sooner than I'd liked but probably the sensible thing to do). Previously this stopped my periods for almost 10 years, in the couple months I've been back on it I've been bleeding on and off the whole time.
Has anyone experienced this? How long did it take for everything to settle back down?
I was off it for approx 12 months as I was very lucky to fall pregnant quite quickly.

I had a terrible time with Cerelle after birth. Went on it a few weeks after giving birth and bled on and off for 8 months. Apparently it’s quite notorious for erratic bleeding after birth but nobody told me that until I questioned it with my midwife and GP… I was told to give it 6 months then to come off and try something different.
I tried another pill for 6 months but my mood swings were awful and I felt very down - been back on cerelle for 3 months now and no bleeding so far.

I’ve had this same issue with cerelle, I didn’t bleed at all on it then I came off it to conceive my son and went straight back on it after having him. After 2 years I will still having erratic bleeding, generally light but it would be on and off for 2 weeks of every month. I have now switched to Noriday, only been on them a couple of weeks so far. No bleeding yet but not really due till early February. Hoping for the best!!
