Coming off Cerazette in 3days

[mme]

@Mme...oh wow, that's good..good age to start too especially if you're not planning a brood like i am - although i may change my mind once i have been through labour with the first

i think like you a lot of my friends started having children early in their 20s so i have felt left out for a few years - probably didnt help that i love children either and knew i wanted them.

Didnt bother me much about the area although the more i think about it, the more it matters, but i just cant wait any longer

We're not TTC until October time (assuming any accidents dont happen before then)...we wanted to be sure the system was 'clean' after years of cerazette going in daily - hopefully AF will come then too and i will be able to track my periods. ovulation etc...

I did think about waiting till its out of my system but its the timing for me. If October comes and nothing has happened I will be taking a break from ttc as its my 30th next year. Will start ttc again after my 30th.
Day 12 and still nothing. If nothing by end of the month I might pop into my gp surgery to have a chat and see what they say. If I would have been told when I went on this pill of the possibility of not getting AF for sooooo long then I would have come off this pill a year ago.....Im so angry none of my gps told me

Girls, I really hope you get AF back soon! It is crazy that we spend so many years wanting the witch to bugger off but when it comes to babies we want nothing more!

Remember, I was a cerazette girl for 5.5 years and I am out on the other side with regular monthly visits. Keep your chin up and stay positive. I am here if you need me, i know how hard and frustrating it can be xx

Thankyou
Just remind me how long did it take for af to be back to "normal" with you?

6 long months. Hoping its not as long as that for me as I only have 5 months then we will stop to notbe pregnant for my 30th bday next year (then start again after my bday) only time will tell what is planned for me I suppose

@Vikster - thanks i hope its not six months for me...as i had been on it nearyly as long as you...

@Mme ...i was absolutely fuming too that no body told me about this side effects....i dont think i can wait 6months - good grief!1 its only been 2weeks today nothing yet, and i am wishing the days away..

ohh dear!!! if its going to take that long for the witch to return i migth as well take my chances and start ttc early...we are thinking of going away August and OH hates CD so we might start to ttc 2months early - another reason why i am praying AF arrives soon

I have been fine today..boobs hurt like there is no tomorrow - but overall i feel bloated, tired, but fine - no nausea means fine

@Mme...if you ant to do this, then maybe just use condoms or something - dont go back near anything hormonal or you may be forced to start from square...

think about it

Hey guys! just after some advise please,

iv been on cerazette for about 4 years and before this was on the injection so have not had AF for about 8 years. i recently decided i wanted to change my pill so that i had regular AF untill me and my OH decided that we wanted to TTC around september/october time so now i really dont know weather to change my pill and then stop in september or to stop alltogether now and take 'other precautions' untill september....arghhh quite confused any advice would be greatly appreciated x x

 

[mme]

Luxoire - I will def not use any type of pill. It will have to be condoms. Not going through this again
I also feel fine today. Keep getting twinges in belly but think its just me excited about it all. I am getting quite impatient too. I will be going crazy if AF decided to take months to show. 8th day without a ciggy too
Keep having little snaps at hubby but he understands what I am going through so is been calm and patient with me



CLR87 - My advice would be to come off the pill now and use condoms untiil your ready. You may get AF right away but then again you may have to wait 6, 8, 10 months like some on here. If only someone would have told me this sooner. I would have come off the pill 1 year before ttc.

i would say just stop now hun, it can take some women up to 6months or more to get back to normal. considering how long you have been on it it may take a while to get back to 'normal' or it may not - but why risk the heartache if you can avoid it?! i agree with @MME come off now

 

[Luxoire]

@Mme - me and you both, its day 15 off the pill and no AF not even a small withdrawal bleed - funny thing is when i missed one pill whilst i would bleed like there was no tomorrow - now i have gone a full 2weeks without and not even a teeny weeny drop!! how frustrating!!

OMG well done DAY 9 and no smoking, i am really proud of u..feels like we have been in it together. but you are really brave for making that decision and sticking to it...i'm sure your baby will be grateful too when it is in mummy's tummy

I felt nauseous this morning for about half an hour but it quickly went...apart from the incredibly painful boobs, i am fine today...my hubby has been very supportive although he takes the micky - saying he doesnt know what mood my hormones will put me in hour after hour

 

[mme]

Yes it does feel like we are going through this together
Only a day apart from coming off cerazette. Its nice to know what someone else is going through at the same time.

yup defo - although i seem to be having worse withdrawal symptoms than you...although i wouldnt wish them on you..ur way too lovely - keep in tocuh hopefully we can conceive round about same time and go through pregnancy together...

if u dont mind my asking, where are you? i am in London-UK

 

[mme]

Of course I will keep this updated. Any symptoms and you will know

I just want something to happen. Im at my docs next week for something else so I think I may mention it too him. Have a little chat and see if anything I can do to bring AF on......prob not but worth a try.

No worries Im in Yorkshire

 

[CLR87]

Thank you ladies

now to try and persuade the OH (he doesnt like condoms) however like you guys said id much rather try and get my body back to normal!

Also well done on giving up smoking!!!

Ah im so glad i found this forum, im loving reading your replies/ posts x x

 

[Luxoire]

MME....ohhh great! that is amazine - we can be buddies on here! let me know if you get any symptomps - i just want to bleed..

CLR87...you are most welcome - yeah men dont like condom when they have had to go without for long - heaven knows i dont like the darn thing too...but a gal's got to do what a gal's goot to do and all that!!

Tonight has been hell so far. Came home from work and could not stop thinking about having a ciggy. Hubby tried to be supportive but I threw it back in his face and he just ended up leaving the room very annoyed with me. I have felt so angry like I could just punch the wall. Only just managed to stop crying. One minute I cant stop crying and the next Im just really angry. Need to mention this to the doc next week as I hate feeling like this Also its so unfair on my hubby

Mme, this is definately the stoppin smoking! I am on day 17 and went through the mood swing torture last week!! Please trust me it does get better after a few days, how long have u gone so far?

Stay strong huni, i know its hard but just explain to ur hubby that u are finding it a bit tough at the minute and that u may snap but u dont mean anything by it.

It will pass

 

[mme]

Big well done to you, I know how hard it is so I can say from experience you are doing amazing!!
I am currently on day 9. I just cant believe how hard it is!! Have you not even had a drag?? I am so tempted right now to just buy 10 and take my time with them. I know this is the worst thing I can do but I just cant get ciggys off my mind. It really is driving me crazy!!
