Pregnancy or side effects of taking Cerazette?

[dizziethedog]

Hi everyone...I hope you can help.

I am 41 and was having problems with my hormones (extra bleeding and blood clots) so the doctor put me on Cerazette. I was on it for about 6 weeks and bleed so much, it felt like I was bleeding every two weeks for 10 days. I wasn't great at taking it the same time of day either and I did miss one a couple of times. I then started feeling depressed so I stopped taking it.

The very next day after I stopped it, I felt ovulation pains. I always get this (but didnt while taking the pop) and its usually mid cycle. I assumed I had started ovulating straight away, is that possible after coming off the pop?

Its now been just over three weeks and still no period though (I'm sorry I don't know all the abbreviations lol). My breasts are very tender and I'm getting mild cramps. It feels like I might come on, but nothing yet.

I have been having unprotected sex with my partner throughout this time, so I thought I would do a test, it came up negative. I would think it highly unlikely for me to fall pregnant due to my age, but I wouldn't mind if I was.

I have read that coming off Cerazette can give you pregnancy symptoms, so I just wondered what experiences other women have had with this?

Do you think it could be the pill that is causing the symptoms? Even though I ovulated?

I found cerazette a nightmare! I bled through 4 months of perserverance and then stopped taking it as I couldn't hack it anymore. it really messes with your hormones so there's a strong chance that what you're feeling is the side effects. I woukd suggest seeing your GP for a blood test?

I fell pregnant on cerezette im 20+2 weeks today. Iv also read that it causes pregnancy symptoms I'd wait a week and do another test.

I'd test OP

Half my op disappeared!! I'm just looking at my sleeping 11 month old cerazette baby!

I came of cerazette and had terrible pregnancy symptoms for about 6 weeks until I got my first AF. 2 months later I was pregnant for real, currently 32 weeks and also 41 years old so age is no barrier :)

Also looks at 8 month old Cerazette baby...

I was on cerazette for a long time, I still bled and had pains for the first year! Decided to stop taking it as I was getting extremely large cysts on my ovaries (found during a bone MRI) but strangely after stopping it my cycle levelled out extremely quickly! 2-3 months and I was back to a 28 day cycle. Hope things settle for you soon :) xx
