Problems with Cerazette - constant bleeding

Well your doctor put you on them for a reason, so if this was me, I'd stay on them and make a doctors appointment so you can talk about alternative options. It had the opposite effect on me, I had no period at all whilst using this pill and then for 4 months afterwards. But then I was extremely heavy and for 2 months was having a period every 2 weeks. But now I appear to be regular again.

Hi,
I'm on cerazette, and so is my friend. I've had no bleeding at all, but she started she bled for 6 weeks. Went to the doctor and he said it was a common side effect and to keep going, now she doesn't bleed at all either! Is great! So it's nothing to worry about, but check with your doctor just incase.

I have been on cerazette now for about 3 months as my doctor put me on this to try and help with my PCOS however, although the first couple of months were ok I have now been bleeding for almost 3 weeks which is really, really annoying!

I have read that a lot of women don't even get periods on this pill or if they do they are very light but mine hadn't really changed that much and were still quite heavy.

The bleeding started about 3 weeks or so after my last period so it wasn't unusual to start bleeding then but other than for a couple of days where I had some light spotting it hasn't really stopped and while it isn't as heavy as my period would be it is definetly more than spotting and so I need to use a sanitary towel.

Obviously I am going to go back to the doctors but has anyone else experienced anything like this and do you think I should continue to take the pill or stop? (I'm not sexually active at the moment)

Other than the general inconvenience and annoyance of having to wear sanitary towels every day for so long it isn't really causing me any other problems but any advice would be appreciated!

Heya! The first time I tried cerazette I bled for 3 months until I switched to a new one which I then bled for a further 2 months (non stop, quite heavy, all day every day) So I know what a nightmare this is!!

I got really depressed about bleeding all the time so I just stopped the pill completely and then my bf persuaded me to give it a go again about 2 months after I stopped. Now I am still on cerazette 8 months later and I haven't bled in that time AT ALL!! not even a period! So i really don't know what is up with it, one side effect is random bleeding, or not as the case may be.

I would stick it out for a while, it is horrible, but it may settle after a couple of weeks/months. If not, I can only suggest giving it a rest and trying again, as that is what worked for me.

I really hope it gets sorted OP, it was the worst 5 months of my life when this happened to me! Good luck!!

Hey,
Like others said I would definitely recommend waiting until you can speak to a Doctor. I have been on Cerazette for nearly 4 years now and I love it. When I first went on it I had a lot of bleeding, it seemed to happen every two weeks which was very annoying and at the time really got me down. The first lot of bleeding lasted 6 days but after that every time it got lighter and shorter until it stopped about 2 months later. Since then I haven't had any bleeding or periods which has been amazing! As long as you take it properly and are really careful about not missing/taking pills late the 'omg I haven't had a period I'm pregnant' worry goes away. I hope you get it sorted but I would reccomend sticking it out for a while longer, my Dr said it could take 3 months for things to settle down and you may have regular periods, no periods or heavy bleeding but I think it's more common for your periods to stop as you take it everyday your hormone levels stay the same.

Hope it gets better soon, I know it's a pain!

I was originally taking Yasmin, which I got on really well with, but due to a family history of blood clots I was changed to cerazette. I started taking it at the end of April and I have been having a period every week with only weekend breaks. I have had one week break so far and ironically that week was the week I should have been on if I wasn't taking cerazette. I'm seriously struggling with this and my moods have changed, I'm normally a happy person but my boyfriend has noticed that I was a lot moodier recently. My mother suggested going to see the doctor but I know that she will say that I have to wait until it settles down because it hasn't been 3 months yet. I can't wait another week let alone another month.
Please tell me this will stop..
