I was on microgynon 30, so thought the doc would put me on that again. But she's gave me this cerazette. I really wanted to go back into microgynon, but cos my BMI is slightly over, Im on this. But the thing is when I first went on microgynon I was bigger than I am now, and the doc didnt weigh me.
I have just done a serach on here and on google and it all seems bad reviews about it - no peiod for month, and even one girl said she has PCOS because of cerazette:nervous:
I am abit gutted really that I aint on microgynon, I loved it, got on so well with it. I didnt get pregnant on it, periods were great, I was on it for about 18 months. So I know it works well for me.
I dont want to start taking cerazette, Im scared it will mess my cycle up. When I came on microgynon it took me only a couple of months to get pregnant. I've heard about people who had the implant (which is similar the doc said) took them ages for their cycles to get back to normal, like years!
Also she told me to take two tablets, which is really gonna confuse me cos it says the days of the week on the tab things.
Has anyone had any good experiences on cerazette?

If you aren't happy then I would go back and discuss your options with your doctor, or if you have a local family planning place discuss it with them. I generally find them more understanding of things, and quite frequently you can call them for a discussion with the nurse and they'll call you back round here. Even if it just to try and dispell your concerns it might be worth calling them up for a chat
With the 2 pill thing, you know it has 4 weeks worth on the strip? I started them from 2 weeks apart so I was taking week 1 monday and week 3 monday at the same time so I didn't confuse my days.
With the implant thing, the theory is as soon as it is taken out you go back to normal as far as everyone I've spoken to has told me, not taken months or years. I heard that about the injection though, so either way one of us has been misinformed :chin:
My suggestion for the taking 2 pills would be like Acrobat, take two Monday tablets, either from the same packet, or keep two strips together and take one off each.
I think they are getting stricter on BMI and the combined pill, I've just been told to stop taking it as am very near the limit.
Im gonna try it for the three months, then if I aint happy I'm gonna beg to be put back on microgynon! In the meantime I aint gonna eat anything so my BMI will be 30:D
If you search for any medication or contraceptive online then you can always find some posts about bad experiences so I wouldn't worry to much about what you've read online.
Hope it is good for you
Very important that one. Your standard dose each and every day until you decide to come off it.
Did your periods stop?
Yes.
I had really heavy periods so it was a welcome relief.
