Cerelle side effects

[Lou1711]

Hey I'm writing this in the hope it helps people....

For the past 5 years I've struggled finding birth control that suited me...the combined pill raised my blood pressure, the implant caused me to turn crazy and gain so much weight I had it removed within 3 weeks, I fell pregnant with the coil fitted and the mini pills I tried made me have bad acne, constantly bleed and be very hormonal. So I gave up and relied upon condoms for years!

I have always had very heavy periods but at the end of last year it got to the point where I had to take days off from work due to the heavy flow. I was referred to a gynaecologist who performed a laproscopy and said I had endometriosis and polycystic ovaries. At this time I had horrendous pmt which was affecting my daily life and relationship. Due to my age they were reluctant to perform any surgery and suggested I tried the mini pi again. I expressed my concerns and was told to trail for six months and no less. So I began cerelle.....

The first three months were awful constant bleeding I had 10 days bleeding with two off and that continued for three months. My skin became like a teenager but my mood improved no end n pmt symptoms disappeared. The fourth month I had 8 days bleeding and three off and it became lighter. I'm now in my sixth month and I've not had any bleeding for 32 days! My skin has improved and I feel amazing.

So please ladies don't give up no matter how hard it appears! It is worse before it gets better! I'm a new lady now n loving life 😀

Glad you have settled down, a tried this pill but I bled constantly on it and gave up after 3 months as it worse than the bleeding I had before in it.

I was the same for 4 months just heavy bleeding but between 4-5 months it improved dramatically! I only continued as my gynaecologist said any hormonal treatment needs 6 months for ur body to adjust and I'm so glad I persevered.
