Cetrazette contraceptive pill

Does anyone else out there take Cetrazette?

I've been taking it for six months or so now and since then I haven't had a period.

I'm definitely not pregnant, and the doctor did originally say that periods can either increase or stop altogether with this pill - everybody's different I suppose.

I quite like not having a period every month, no cramps or breast soreness or just that general yucky feeling, but I can't help worry that not having one isn't normal? Also, is it damaging?

Any advice appreciated, thanks

I have been on Cerazette since August 2010 and it has stopped my cycle which is brilliant. It's not harmful and in fact means that it is very effective, around .3% failure; more so than when the cycle continues or is disrupted. This is because it has stopped ovulation.

I'm on it, I find I have bleeding in-between periods as well as regular periods, but then this settles down after few months ( only been back on it a month). Was the same last time I started it

I havent had a period for over 2 years with cerazette - saves a fortune in sanitary products! (although I do have a small supply, just in case!)
