8 day period on cerazette?

[Irishchic]

I started Cerazette a month ago and just had my first period on it. It has lasted 8 days long and no sign of it finishing. Is this normal?

Also I feel like my libido has just disappeared, have no desire whatsoever for anything sexual either with my husband or DIY!

I dont think I like this pill.

oh.....im about to start this one again after 18 months off it - i never had a period on it. not sure about the libido thing but if that drops off ill be coming off it.

i had to stop taking cerazette due to too much bleeding and lack of sex drive. it was a good contraceptive for this very reason .

Oh God. I came off the Mirena cos of horrible side effects and now I think this might not suit me either.

Bloody bloody contraception. Why can I not find something that doesnt muck me up?!

i came off Mirena because of bad side effects, too.

then tried Cerazette and that didn't work, either.

progesten-only based contraception isn't for me.

dh had the snip.

My husband is a bit iffy about getting the sniff and tbh I cant blame him. I refuse to get sterilised even though I dont want any more babies, so I can understand him not wanting a vasectomy either.

Although it would make life a lot simpler...

Maybe I just just give up on sex and take up chocolate instead!

I love Cerazette!! No periods at all, and other than being completely fookin knackered all the time (and i think it IS pill related) I cant fault it.

I would go back and ask for something else!

Should just not just just! Obv time for my bed!

Oh, mine didn't mind getting the snip at all.

3 kids is bloody expensive.

We're not extremely young anymore, either.

I'm nearly 40, he's 33.

I wont get steralised and DH wont get the snip either - so me being knackered on Cerazette is our compromise. I remain baby-free, and get to sleep as and when I need to, and he gets to keep his man-hood in situ!

Have you tried Depo jabs? I found them really good, but I did put on a lot of weight..... I really do not think there is a contraceptive out there without ANY side effects!

If Mirena and Cerazette don't work for you, do not try Depo!

There's nothing wrong with DH's manhood post-snip.

Nikita, try visiting a family planning clinic.

If you cannot use combined contraception, you might be able to use NuvaRing.

Sorry, if you can't use combined oral pill, you might be able to use NuvaRing.

Or copper coil, which has no hormones.

This happened to me on cerazette as well. My GP told me to stop taking it.
