Cerelle and bleeding

I asked if I could double dose the cerelle pill due to heavy bleeding and the dr said it won’t do anything and to either 1 continue taking it for 3 months or 2 come off it and go onto the coil. But from what i have red it can really help with the bleeding if you double dose it. So why is she being so rude about it?

I have no idea. I have heard taking two can sort things out. Maybe get a second opinion from another doctor. Sending you a big hug too x

Thank you. I forgot to mention she did tell me to pick up some mefenamic acid tomorrow which could help the bleeding?

I doubled my dose on advice form my consultant gynae and it stopped the bleeding, I think it is fairly standard procedure. Before i was bleeding and spotting all the time on the POP. Is your GP saying this or your gynae? GP might be saying this becaus eshe has no idea about endo. If it is your gynae I would ask her why or just book an appt with another gynae. It worked for me.

Same here Michkath121, I was bleeding and spotting on a single dose and GP suggested to double the dose - and it helped!
