So if you came off cerazette because of the moodiness, what pill did you take next?

[WantToBeAnonymous]

combined or pop recomendations wanted please

Oh My ds(is) went on this because she had tried lots of others pills and it was the only one she could take.

Have you had the same with other pills?

Came off another POP (micronor) due to mood problems, took Microgynon (bog standard combined Pill) and was fine, but unfortunately had high BP so had to switch to Cerazette.

dont remember having it with other pop i used after dd1, but loathe to go off cerazette because my periods are so rare!

Ready to try something new, but wary of having same problem with next one.

ah, dint see your message, i was fine on micronor, so it random?

I would have thought combined would be less risk of mood problems than progestogen only one, but of course it's all a case of swallow it and see...

i had to read that twice to get it, well done!

why would combined be less risk of mood problems? i wish i would really know.

The closest i found to talk about this is here but i think is american?

I didn't.

I cannot take combined because of my age and my hypertension.

But I was on the combined for abuot 10 years and didn't have any of the problems I had on POP.

I wish I could still take it

i suppose i should now that i have finished bf. just dreading my period coming so often on the combined - i remmember getting it every 28 days and ive been spoilt with my period free cerazette

progestogen-only contraception of any type can be bad for your moods/exacerbate depression. Not quite sure why it's worth than combined (since of course combined has some progestogen in too).

yes, that was what i cant understand. Is it heresay, or is there some study you can link? thanks tc

can't find any study, but the section under "depression" may be of interest on this link:-
