Hi everyone - I am new on this site and just thought I'd come on to share my experience with cerazette.... I already have DS1 who is 4 and have been on cerazette since having him..... (prior to getting pg I was on microgynon for years with no probs and got preggers within 6 weeks of coming off this pill - sadly miscarried early on but again got pregnant within the next 6 weeks and he was absolutely perfect when he arrived)
with Cerazette I have had no periods (aside from when I was first on this pill - I got a period that lasted for about 4 weeks!).. I took it religiously for the 4 years I was on it at the same time each day - And I came off this pill 5 weeks ago as we are now TTC no2.
I got every pregnancy symptom going when I came off this pill (which was midway though a pack - I didnt see the point in wasting any time) - I had hot flushes, sore boobs, cramp, nausea and headaches - did test just to be sure but got a BFN - however got AF exactly 28 days after stopping cerazette (lasted 4 days) - which was great - I am now almost 2 weeks since first day of AF and have now started using OPKs which are showing positive so everything seems to be getting back to normal pretty quickly for me - which I am so relieved about as have heard some horror stories about coming off this pill - I will keep you posted as to how we get on with TTC I am on cycle day 11 today and going to BD every night between now and cycle day 16 to see what happens.. fingers crossed and GL to all of you TTC!![/B][/B][/B][/B]
... Can I also mention that when I was on cerazette for the 4 years - I completely lost my sex drive.. got awful headaches and just felt generally down a lot of the time - I can't believe how different I feel since coming off it (and all the time I put the symptoms down to just adjusting to motherhood!)
