I was put on this to control heavy periods caused by adenomyosis and perimenopause. However it did nothing for me and in fact worsened my periods. It made me spot unpredictably, and also made me have 2 to 3 week long periods that were also heavy. Plus periods were never predictable. At least my periods came like clockwork at predictable times before I started this pill, even if they were very heavy. So no, this pill did not help any of the issues that it should have done. After 8 months on this, I gave up hoping it would make a change to my periods, and switched to a combined pill.

I haven’t had a period even though I stopped taking Cerazette 8 months ago. I’ve had a few days of spotting. At first, the mini pill was so much better than combined pills. I still had excruciating pelvic pain, but it wasn’t as frequent as it was when I had used combined pills. I was also hungry all the time.

Was put on cerazette after PCOS diagnosis. Worst cramps imaginable, couldn't move. Awful headaches. Constant heavy bleeding, was soaking through night time pads every 20 minutes. Nearly had to go to hospital, was left with severe anemia for months after taking it. Went back on combined pill and I was fine.
