Carezette???
I normally post in ttc but I had to stop ttc and will restart in June so hence planning instead..
Anyway I have reacently found out I have endometriosis and my gynea now wants me to stop the pill I am on (Yasmin)which I am happy with and start Cerazette.
I have done some research (as you do!) and read some real horror stories about this pill.
I am really in two minds as what to do now??
Wondered if any of you ladies have been/are on Cerazette, and if you have stopped taking it has your period returned ok?
Thanks in advance

Pretty good I must say!
Thanks xxx
Don't recall how periods were because I went straight from one pill to another.
Sorry, not much help, just interested me that the doctor is swapping you from one to the other, the other way than I was.
I am still on Yasmin, just about to finish pack and then should start the carazette, my gynea wants me to take it back to back so no withdrawal bleed.
Are you taking Yasmin back to back or 21 day and then week off??
Just interested as I am really not too happy about taking a pill non stop?

Does anyone know how long it will take for my periods to get back to normalonce I come off it to ttc?
What I have heard and REALLY worry about is periods not returning for ages.. Becky hope that is not the case with you.
I know that can happen with any pill but with Yasmin my cycle was spot on soon after stopping..
Other most common side effects that kept coming up were
Weight gain, acne and loss of sex drive..
Really hope that is not gonna happen as I could not think of a worst combination lol
Gemstar I see, as much as I hate having af I think I'll find it weird not to have one at all..
Good luck all

I must admit that I do not have a big sex drive anyway which is mainly due to my past and being overweight have been before started on this pill).
I was on microgynon 30 for 7 years before Cerazette and I had af like clockwork in my pill free week but as soon as I changed to Cerazette it completely went.
I was only 24 when they changed my pill and the nurse told me that they don't normally give it to someone so young but because I was so overweight and my bp was high they thought it was the best thing.
The only thing I am now worried about now is coming off to ttc. As I said before, I had never heard of the side effects when coming off this pill and am now very nervous. Either way I would have to come off it but it does seem very daunting.
Good luck with which ever pill you choose Summer x
Meadowbird that is really reassuring to hear, thanks!

am on cerazette and have been for about 12 years. the onlyproblems i have from it are irregular periods! but we are hoping to try for kids later on this year! hope you're okay on the cerazette! x
as it is a mini pill you normally take it every day with no break and have to take it at same time every day (or within 3 hours) xx
I hope that makes sense x
