Argh ... waiting for periods after pill!
Hi all
I'm new here. Me and OH are hopefully going to start TTC from September and we're SO excited! I've been on Cerazette for about a year (was on Femodine (sp?) for a few years before this) and have not had a period since I started Cerazette. I stopped taking in on the 6th July (in the middle of a packet) to give my body time to get back to normal before TTC. I still haven't even had my withdrawal bleed!!
It's so frustrating! I've been getting AF-type pains on and off since I stopped the pill, but nothing! My periods were fine before Cerazette.
Just wondering if anyone else is/has been in the same boat. I know a lot are waiting for their first AF but I've not even had a breakthrough bleed! Now I'm worried I'll not be 'back to normal' and ready to TTC in September.
ARGH!

i think you need to do a test if you havent had a withdrawel bleed, my first real AF tok 9 weeks to come, might be worth a quick chat with the GP x
good luck x
On the other hand lots of ladies have got BFP before they even have their first Af!
Sneding you lots of Babydust for September xx
I was on cerazette for about 18 months and stopped it about 11 weeks ago. I didn't have a withdrawl bleed and it took 9 weeks for me to have my first AF (I went through several pregnancy tests even though I knew it wasnt really likely) my AF only lasted 1 and half days (but never been so pleased !) and I am now waiting for number two.
I like you I read up on the internet when nothing happened and its seems that alot of people dont have a withdrawal bleed and you can wait quite a few months for everything to get back to normal.
I am getting on a bit ! 36 and I wish that my doctor would have told me this as I wouldnt have taken it - you would have thought they would have mentioned it to a married childless woman in her late 30's !
there is also some stuff on the internet reccomending you wait for 2 periods before getting pregnant so we are not "trying" this month but also not using anything as it seems a bit mental. Also using ovulation predictor kit just to check that I am ovulating
feel like piggin cerazette has spoilt all the excitment I have looked forward to this for soooo! long and didnt expect to be worried even before we got started
Micmac it's so frustrating isn't it?! And yes, I too would not have started on it if I knew of the TTC problems associated. It has been lovely to not have a period for a year, but MY GOD PLEASE ARRIVE NOW!
I guess if I use OV kits then it's still possible to fall pregnant - I'd just love to have a normal cycle and know when to BD, when I'm expected to bleed etc!
I did a test today by the way (even though it was a VERY remote chance) and BFN. Even though I knew I wouldn't be pregnant (sickness has ruled out sex for the past few weeks) I was still disappointed!
I'm sure the stress and waiting has delayed AF!
