I wanted to leave a review for other 45+ women just starting with progesterone only mini pill. My friends recommended it as it had stopped their periods immediately. I fell into the other category and bled\spotted almost continuously for two months. There is no warning that your period will start so I would recommend carrying protection all the time. The blood is brown and stringy or watery red but not heavy and can be managed with a panty liner. My mood improved and I found I was coping with situations more rationally. I spoke to other women on cerelle who told me to persevere and the spotting is definitely getting less frequent. My GP has finally given me an appointment for the Mirena Coil to be fitted next week, I have waited 10 months for this and I am now worried that I will go back to the beginning of the bleeding. Oh its really c**p being a woman!

Been on cerelle for years and never had a problem but came off recently for a break and periods came back as usual. Back on the pill again. I do find with this pill, which I seem to not share the same experience as others, that it really helps prevent fluid retention and aids in some weight loss. To be quite honest, I don’t have any problems or issues with cerelle. I don’t get periods, rarely I will have one day of light bleeding but will go. Skin and hair has no change, mood stays the same, libido fluctuates from increased to decreased etc. overall very good pill. However the second I started using it I developed an allergy to adhesive glues on my skin but that could be completely coincidental!
