Avoid. Gave me lots of spots. Destroyed my sex drive and bleeding constantly and today I’ve decided to come off it ! Doctors recommended as used to have injection which made me gain weight and gave me headaches but was not as bad as this pill

This pill broke me out in horrible acne & my sex drive became non existent. I had no period for 6 months (previously every 28 days for 3 days).

I’ve been on Cerazette/Cerelle for years now after moving from Microgynon - I’ve been on the pill since I was 13 because of terrible periods. Moved to mini pill when the doctors suspected endometriosis and wanted to trial me on Cerazette/Cerelle to stop my periods. Only now in my twenties am I realising a potential correlation between my depression and being on the pill so I can’t say for sure about the impact on my mood. I get light spotting from time to time but aside from that, it’s been a great pill for my periods!

I've had a really positive experience. My periods have stopped altogether and I don't get any ovulation or period pain.

Have been taking for a month at the moment - previously took a few years ago and had no real issues. Periods have stopped for now which is brilliant as i suffer from heavy irregular painful periods. Nausea started a few days into taking but starting to back off now. A few headaches but nothing terrible. Vaginal dryness is quite noticeable. and period like cramping but no bleeding. Boobs have got bigger and are rock solid and tender.

I have been on this pill for the past 4 years. I had extremely heavy bleeding and periods that lasted for three weeks prior to this pill so I was put on birth control. For three years I had no issues. No spotting and my periods completely stopped. This year I have began to spot frequently and fill panty liners. It varies from heavier to light and intermittent. This time it has been over two weeks. I had such high praise for cerelle until this. I can only assume my body has got used to it. Not sure what pop to go on now. Just want to not bleed again. Acne has never been good but that was the only side affect from day one.

I took Cerelle originally to treat heavy painful periods which worked wonders because it stopped my periods and symptoms all together. I did notice a substantial weight gain and had bad acne on my back which I’d never suffered from before. I am currently trying other contraceptive options mainly due to the weight gain, but would not be opposed to going back on this pill if nothing else suits.

I’ve used this pill on several occasions over a number of years. In the past (approx 5+ years ago) I had no issues with it, however more recently I’ve experienced weight gain and severe mood swings where I could cry at the drop of a hat. Really unusual for me and the mood swings were the main reason for me stopping.

I was originally on Loestrin ever since the age of 16 and randomly my periods stopped on that after a while, then after years they randomly came back and then I started getting severe migraines. I was changed to Cerelle and my head within a day or two felt clearer and I haven't had a migraine at all! My periods totally stopped, however I my breasts have grown quite a bit and I have had some strange pain on one nipple at first, which eventually went away, but now I get nipple discharge if it rubs on clothing or is pressed too much! I have also gone from having TONNES of discharge on the Loestrin, to VERY dry and itchy on the Cerelle.
