Yep, I've been on it since I was 15 (for 9-10 years) for endo symptoms and it did help with the pain and making my periods lighter...it's getting less effective with time for me, to the point where I have to have a laparoscopy soon, but I think everyone is different. Fingers crossed it works for you xx

My Dr was happy for me to have the surgery but I declined. I depends on each individual and the how the pain affects them. Depends on the Dr too. If you wish to have the surgery for the diagnosis I don’t see why they shouldn’t allow you to have it if you’ve been experiencing symptoms especially severe pain for some time

Thanks! All the best for Monday; hope you get a good alternative

I am on cerelle which I think is just cerazette with a different name. It's a progesterone only pill. I find that I don't have periods at all on this pill and so I don't get many of the symptoms that I used to. However as soon as I stop taking they will return. It won't cure it. :)

That’s helpful - thanks! Even a temporary solution will be great cause I’m suffering daily!

I think the majority of people stop having periods or they are reduced at least, just because of the way that pill works. But that's not to say it works for everybody. I'd definitely say it's worth a try because if it does work for you it could really help you out for a while. But please don't forget that it's not a cure. You may still experience some other symptom. I don't have those associated with a period any more as I don't have periods. But I still get severed back ache, urine infections and I feel exhausted most of the time. So it depends what symptoms you find most problematic aswell x

Hey it didn’t work for me at all, I just got severe side effects. I was on it for about 2 years but I still had heavy painful periods.

Everyone is different and I hope it works for you xx

I'm on Cerelle and it has helped make my periods much lighter and less painful which has improved my life so much. It took about 2- 3 months before I felt better.

Is that the same as Cerazette??

It is just a different brand name for the progesterone only contraceptive pill. Cerelle is the same hormone as Cerazette.

Yes I took Cerazette for years and it was a massive help. I didn't have periods on it, so mostly no endo symptoms except for migraines and occasional tummy complaints. The only reason I'm not on it now is that I'm ttc...

It didn't agree with me. GPs told me it would 'cure' all symptoms... Its didn't.. All it gave me was depression and migraines. But everyone is different. Hope it works for you x

I gave it a go and experienced numbness in limbs?? Guess it hasn’t agreed with me which is a shame; I was really hoping that it would stop my periods

Hi, I know this post is super old but your one caught my eye. I am experiencing numbness in my right calf and have had every spinal/back investigation and they are puzzled. I have been on ceravette for two years now and experienced the numbness for a year. What numbness did you experience?

Did the numbness go when you came off the pill?
