I HATE cezarette with all my heart

[MistressMouse]

Sorry for another cezarette thread.
I started this pill end of July for severe bleeding. Gynae can't do an ablation due to complications in my pelvis (basically, I'd lose my bowel).
Anyway, this pill. I f*ing hate it.
I've had severe fatigue, libido is gone, have the beginnings of a depressive episode, anxiety, one massive panic attack and I'm so angry.
Gynae told me it would stop the flooding that I was having but I'm bleeding very heavily with clots and tissue and am in so much pain. Between that I have staining.
At least on my natural cycle, I was like clockwork and knew what to expect.
My instinct is to come off this evil pill but am worried now that coming off it will be hell (I've stupidly read the internet) and much worse than the current progesterone hell am already in.
My instincts in July said stay away. I should've listened to my heart.

Sorry for long rant. Am just fed up with it.

I would speak to this gynae again asap as well as getting a second opinion from another gynaecologist at another hospital.

Does this gynae know the cause of the heavy bleeding in the first place (I ask this as both endometriosis and fibroids can cause such problems to arise). If an ablation cannot be performed, is there no other surgical option?.

Hiya. No other options. I'm 46 so that rules out other pills. My frozen pelvis also rules out a hysterectomy. And because my bowel is welded to my tubes and ovaries and on top of my womb there is a real danger the ablation could seep into and destroy my bowel (which is already damaged). Am a mess inside due to very old endo and scarring from previous ectopic pregnancy.
The bleeding, no fibroids. He thinks it's just age, pre-menopause.
Ill ring my GP, thanks for the reply.

How long have you been on the Cerazette? I had the shopping list symptoms you mentioned but by month 4 (when I was close to binning the pack) my periods turned from constant bleeding to dream like light periods. The moods/ panic settled down too.
Cerazette was my last option before endometrial (burn off your womb) thingy so I'm do pleased I preserved.

Sorry typing on iPhone without glasses - excuse typos

the combined pill can be used up to age 50 as long as you dont smoke and aren't obese, have normal blood pressure, etc

There are also other mini-pills you could try as some of the other ones have different active ingredients and could give fewer side effects for you. I had fortnightly periods with 2 types I tried whereas cerazette stopped my periods.

It's just been 6 weeks. The side effects were instant. I took the first one and within hours I had the first symptom. Then over days the others kicked in.
It's made no difference to the heaviness of period end of things. I thought the bleeding would stop, gynae never mentioned the fact it might not work. It's the Only reason am on the damn things. so I've a whole bunch of horrible symptoms AND heavy bleeding.
And am pi**ed off.

forget reading the internet. (after this thread...) Your symptoms are personal to you and no-one else's experiences are relevant. Instincts/heart also not relevant.

what is obvious is that cerazette is no good for you, so make an appointment ASAP to discuss other options, and that you need to stop taking it.

and if the GP doesn't suit, change him too!

Thank you ??

Can I ask if you have had MH issues before or just since taking cerazette?

I've been on it for years no periods no bleeding but I have struggled with depression. Wonder if there is a link

Yeah, I did. Postnatal depression in 2005 and some anxiety on and off which before cezarette was under control. I looked at the leaflet and it says for 1 in 100 women, low mood and depression.
