The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

[Jim_bear]

JimBear - I have heard that agnus castus drops are great for LP defect. I used them to shorten my cycle (it works for that too) as it was around 45 days after coming off cerazette. The first month I used it my cycle was around 35 days and I got my bfp! Might have just been a conscience but it is worth a try in my opinion!

Anna - I would say it is still too early. I didn't start until the 3rd tri, I think the guidelines are to start at around 26-28 weeks. Samie is probably the best one to ask though! So exciting about scan, I miss the pregnancy excitement - I really can't wait to be pregnant again! haha!

xx

Thanks abbi808!!! I might wait untill my next AF to see how long it is and then decide what to do?!

I feel better though now that I know it should be hopefully ok to lengthn it!!

Thanks you all ladies xxx

Have been reading all these comments with interest. i'm new to this site and new to TTC... stopped cerazette a week ago and thought I'd google to see how long it ahould take to have a period... OMG... bad move! I found forum after forum of awful stories about fertility being affected and how awful this pill is. So nice to read some positive comments on here too for a balanced opinon! So far, ive got the usual symptoms... sickness, bloating, wanting to stuff my face with chocolate but no bleed as of yet. Just wanted to join this forum to chat to others who may be in the same boat! I'm just rubbish at not talking about stuff and it's frustrating!

Hi jimbear- after coming off pill in may i think i had first af 7 weeks later and got bfp in october x
Pinkpussycat- this is a great thread for support, we've all had the horrid symptoms and kept everyone going . hope you keep popping in xx
I tried ringing my midwife today but no luck and diabetic midwife wasn't answering either. think I'm going to pop into a pharmacy just to get my bp checked as my eyes have been playing up like a pressure feeling and its odd. fingers crossed its ok if not I will be ringing again tomorrow.xx

 

[Samie18]

Welcome pussycat! I prob read all the same google pages as you and convinced my self I'd be ttc for at least 2 years......but it took us 6 weeks lol so don't worry too much!
Fingers crossed for you.

Anna its far too early to worry about counting movements, sounds horrible but baby isn't quite at viability date yet so movements don't count for a great deal. Also advise is kinda changing to not counting as such but being aware of whats normal movements for your baby and any significant change would warrant monitoring. When they are this small they still have plenty of room to move so some days will face your back and kick that way and that's why you won't feel as many.

Hope everything is ok pink!

Hi jim bear!

How do you know you have a 9 day luteal phase? Have you been using fertility friend or temping or are you just taking the day after pos opk as O day?

FF told me I had a 9 day luteal phase too but then I got a BFP the month after, so either it doesn't matter or they calculated it wrong!!

Thanks for your reply I have only used opk this cycle and last cycle. On both I had really bad ovulation pain on my left side and had a positive opk at about 11am. At 6 that evening I had negative opk so have counted the next day as dpo1. Does that make sense?

Congrata on the how long had you been trying? Such an exciting time!! X

Came off cerazette last August and took 9 weeks to get my first AF! Felt like it would never come but it did. Started temping and using opk in December and 2 months later had BFP!!

Hopefully it won't take too long for you x

Hi pinkpussycat!

We all know how you feel so this is a good place to chat!!
Try not to read google too much, there's a lot of bad stuff out there but not much good!!

 

[betty14]

Jim bear I'd wait to see if your cycle settles then if not see the gp, if it's a lp problem its easy sorted!

Anna my lo has quiet days.... We just had 3 in a row but yesterday and today she has been very active again so think she was growing! Eapecialls as she was kicking abouts my belly button

Pink hope all is ok, it's bad you couldn't get hold of anyone!

Welcome pinkpussycat :wave: hope your not waiting too long for af! Also bear in mind that lots of the posts on forums are because ppl are looking for help and so there will always be much more negative stuff to read! Just look in here so many of the girls fell quickly!!!

Abbie hope the sleeping gets better and better for you!

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone

Hope everyone is ok!

Jim bear no experience of lphase so cant help sorry but have heard the agnus drops are good. Pussycat welcome you will always see more negative than positive. Im sure you will be fine.
Anna as theyve said too early to count, bean testing you to see if you can have a more relaxed pregnancy!
Pink I could never get hold of anyone and I was very high risk! Early onset pe is really rare so hopefully your symptom will pass
Abbi the bottles Ollie was given in hospital were NUK and now if he has a bottle we use MAM they are fab, Boots sell them, buy one small one and try him. Ollie slept in the cot next to the bed for 5hrs the other night!!
Samie hope Sophia and you get over your cold quickly
Betty how you feeling? Xx
Hey Amelia hope you are well?

 

[betty14]

[Jim_bear]

Thanks for all the replies ladies I'm loving everyone on this thread so nice and supportive

Welcome pinkpussycat hopefully AF will turn up for you soon. I suppose the thing to remember us that every woman is different!

 

[annanouska]

glad everyone is doing well!

Thanks for the advice re kicks- i am trying to get more relaxed lol! i have sort of accepted that I cant prevent the million and 1 bad things which could happen at any time so i will try and relax.

dont think i posted it here but we went out on sunday and had a great walk around a park and lake. was waiting for hubby as he had gone to the loo when these ladies wearing hoodies with dates on (didnt click yet) were collecting money. then they started shouting if anyone wants to help raise money for the angel babies. theni noticed they all had names next ot the dates by the time hubby came out the loo i was stood like a complete nutcase bawling my eyes out!!!! think hormones got the better of me we went to give them some money and they were asking if i was ok and they had upset me! i felt a real plonker having to say i was an emotional crazy pregnant woman and i was feeling really upset for them all.

welcome to all the newbies and good luck ttc. everyone is so different but try and relax for a cycle or two if they are odd and let your body settle then you can get to grips with learning yhour cycle with opks or temping or whatever is good for you

cant believe baby is above bettys belly button! ater my post of all the low down movements i have had about 2/3 kicks just below belly button so we are getting there

sorry i got distracted jibbering on! hope samie and sophia are feeling better and good luck with these bottles for expressing hope it works ok for you.

really hope pink is ok bit worried about her

hygienist at dentist this morning then 12-8 shift hate lates! xxxx

 

[annanouska]

(that made no sense when i re read it) sounded like i meant samie expressing milk honest my brain doesnt function too good thee days xxxx

 

[pink23]

im ok anna just annoying when you can't get hold of midwife xx no funny feelings today so thats good. having a rest day tomorrow and thursday i think as my feet are aching xx

 

[betty14]

Anna mw told me today the top of my fundus is about an inch above my belly button so explains why I've had movements higher up!

Pink glad your feeling ok today! Def rest up if you have the chance

Bp today was 110/60 so that's fab everything else fine too! She is seeing me again at 28 wks and she is doing bloods then too

Have a q for samie if ya dont mind..... She told me to monitor kicks from now on, she said I'm to count 10 per day.... Is that the norm now? Thought it was from a bit later as I assumed they could still move round lots in there so may be kicking towers my back also she said to look for a pattern..... Would 3 quiet days 2 busy ones be the pattern or is it more like lots I've movement am none pm daily?
Sorry to be a pain asking but I don't have my own mw now so she sorta rushed me and I couldn't ask her all these specifics!!

X x x

 

[Honeybear1976]

Hey betty ur sounding healthy and looking it on fb! The other day when we said bout counting movements Samie said bit early yet sure she said bout 28wks? They can be kicking towards your back. Once with my first I went to hospital becoz I got paranoid about counting and was quiet and as soon as they strapped monitor to me baby went crazy! By regular I would say there will be times where you may notice them move a lot ie when you get into bed really tired and they are actively letting you know its not their time to sleep with the other pregnancies anytime or a particular day I would think they had been quiet would usually be if I had been busy n just not really sat down and noticed the movements. Xx

 

[Samie18]

The movement advice is a bit of a taboo. Old school says you should feel 10 movements in a 12 hr period if you counting but RCOG guidelines say you should be aware of your babys own movement pattern but not really make it an issue until after 28 weeks.... But I feel soon as baby is viable I.e 24 weeks if your concerned that baby hasn't moved all day for example then id want the fetal heart checking out. But the initial advise is if your worried about reduced movements then take 2 hrs out go lay down on your left side and monitor them, usually a cold drink and something to eat helps.

But advise is be aware of your baby's own individual pattern.... No movements in the day but loads at night, or quiet every 2 hrs for 90 mins etc etc

Buttttt you will hear prob the whole way through to monitor 10 movements in 12 hrs!

[betty14]

Thanks honey I think I might finally have that second tri bloom that ppl said about shame it came 2 weeks before third tri I have only gained 13 lbs so far so pretty sure a good amount of that is baby

Samie your a star thanks so much! I have my Doppler so if I feel she has been very quiet I have a listen in! But if I'm ever worried I'd call delivery! Is it after 24 weeks they will bring you in?

X x x

 

[Samie18]

Yeah they should although they will make you try lots at home first or even get the community mw to come out to see you.

 

[betty14]

Tbh Samie I think that lots of ladies will panic because of this and it's not nessecary.... I guess they have to change things along the way and she said it's harder to monitor movements later on say 34 wks on etc.... But still think it makes some worry when they don't really need to! I suppose in some respects it's a good thing but not in another like you said it's a taboo I suppose some mw's agree some don't eh!

Thanks again for being there to answer questions and clear things for me your a star and I'm very grateful
