Coming of the contraceptive pill - Cerelle

[Ambs2018]

Good Morning,

I’m coming off Cerelle contraceptive pill, its the pill you take constantly with no break.

I’ve googled the same and it all feels very doctor written and against coming off the pill and was wondering if anyone has and can explain what happened?

Thank you

I know this isn't answering your question, but would you mind telling me if it made your endo better? I'm seriously considering starting it as the depo inj is doing nothing for me atm.

It has given me some life @Bubble_by cerelle or cerzette reduces my during the month pain to about 3/4 and period week to about a 6 and give that period week I was doubled over and crippled at at least a 9 and some occasions a 10 in terms of pain it’s an improvement. For me, I took a break earlier in the year from my pill and TBH it was the worst thing I could have done, I was in agony, could barely function with the pain and the bleeding even my anaemia came back, all from one bleed!

It doesn’t agree with everyone, and obviously everyone is different but for me I was or am in the position of why did no one offer me this 15 years ago and help me!

In January I go into medical menopause due to the severity of my endo but I have a 4 generation gynae issue from great grand mother right down, I knew this was coming—— just didn’t know the name when the others were treated with hysterectomies before 40.

I’ve been gynaecologically cursed retroverted uterus, tilted cervix, larger bladder, extra colon, eroding cervix, ovaries stuck and twisted (generally a right old mess) and I’ve complained for nearly 20 years and only been listened to this year! Was put on cerezzete/cerelle 2 years ago when they found the mass attached to left ovary and it saved me from going insane but not enough that more could happen inside without me knowing!

Best advice be in tune with your body and try the pill for 6 months monitor everything (when ovulation should occur, or bleeding)

I sync with my teenage daughter so if I’m in pain she knows if it’s ovulation pain or bleeding pain with out the symptoms.

You can but try, but regardless endo will still rear it’s ugly head!

Hope that helps, us Endo Warriors need to fight for one another xx

This is purely my own experience and the doctors have told me that it’s coincidence lol. I lost 10lbs within the first month coming off it and wasn’t trying to lose. My pain lessened to the point I thought I didn’t have endo anymore (was pre diagnosis - turned out I have stage 4 severe endo). I prefer not being on it. And it’s been over a year now and I feel a lot better for it. Since then I’ve lost 35lbs that I’d put on over 3 years of being on the mini pill and at the weight I was at when i was put on the pill.
