I've been on it for a few months now, since July maybe (due to the military doctors inability to get Cerazette ) and was assured by the doc that I'd ahve no bleeding whilst on it. I ahd some spotting the first month I took it, but for nearly a week now I've had a full on heavy period like belld. is this normal?
Because if it is, then I'm going o ahve to get cerazette somewhere else

I've not had problems getting cerazette from my local pharmacy at all, surely they must have sorted out the supply issues by now? I have taken Noriday in the past, it did screw up bleeding in first few months, I much prefer Cerazette in terms of bledng and PMT.

Mini-pills can cause irregular bleeding as well as sometimes no bleeding so the doc should not have told you that you would not bleed at all. I had fortnightly periods with femulen and micronor and no bleeding (apart from about 3 periods in 3 years) with cerazette. From netdoctor:

The progesterone only pill can often cause menstrual irregularities, such as irregular bleeding or missed periods. These can be annoying, but tend to settle down after a while.

I used tot ake the injection, which was great, I got onr eally well withit. But my BP went up to almost 180/135 and they took me off it,a nd won't let me go back on it even though BP is regulated now.

I am also under the care of a military dr's practice and for some reason military pharmacy/dispnsers are having problems getting cerazette. So they tell me.
