Cerelle pill and discomfort wearing contact lenses

I started on this contraception when I was 16, and am now 21, so in lots of ways it feels difficult to pin any major changes onto it given I would have changed so much in this time anyway. For me, the best thing about it is that it completely stopped my periods for nearly 4 years and then, after experiencing bleeding for the first time in years and seeking advice from the wonderful team at the lowdown, I was able to double my dose so that periods stopped again. I generally have been stable on it which is brilliant, especially after starting on the combined pill and experiencing intense symptoms of nausea and vomiting. I would definitely recommend it based on my experience!

I have been taking this pill for 5 years every day. When I first started this pill I had a light period consecutively for the first 3 months but I haven’t had a period, pains or cramps since. I sometimes get the odd spotting.

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!
