Experiences with

Cerelle

Stopped cerelle Oct 2023. Bleeding irregularly since! HRT been adjusted but endo is back worse than ever! Anyone had this and did hysterectomy help? Got my ivf miracle 19 years ago so family complete. Pain as bad as 25 years ago!

I am late 40s, and am on HRT daily: oestrogen 5 pumps, testosterone 1/8 packet; double cerelle ( progesterone ). I am absolutely shattered and feeling constantly unwell. I am struggling with everything - physically, mentally and emotionally. Here are my latest results.

Discussed endometriosis returning with GP and they have put me on Cerelle. Well the side effects are; may stop ovulation, may reduce bleeding, may stop periods, or all these could continue. Now I am just in the middle of what feels like a full blown endo period, ahh. What do I do?

My first gynae had already put me on Cerelle (progesterone only contraceptive 75mg) and the gynae surgeon said I could stay on this or switch to dienogest. As we know the flare ups switching can cause I stuck to the pill.

I'm in so much pain and was told repeatedly that cerelle pill would help, but it hasn't. Thanks for listening.

Hi everyone, I little back story, previously went on Cerelle/Desogestrel before my Endo diagnosis and it was a pill I had every little symptoms on. However, I had breakthrough bleeding and severe acne with it as side effects.

I’m also on the mini pill Cerelle but I’m too scared to come off of it right now (periods will make my POTS symptoms hell if I do!) At one point, both my T4 and TSH were high (out of range) at the same time, but they said they couldn’t do any other investigations (or test T3 etc).

Hi everyone, I've been placed on Cerelle after being on the combined pill since i was 16. I've been on cerelle 3 months and i feel bloated, bigger than usual, I've gone up 6lbs on the scales too! I haven't changed how i eat/what i eat. I feel really down about it which is making me feel sad.

I've been taking 2x desogestrl tablets daily since January and have noticed the past few months cramping but no period, I've had to go to hospital for morphine to calm this, could this mean my endo has grown back even thought i only had a lap in March 22?

Hi, I have been prescribed the cerelle pill just over a year ago, I have been taking this as they suspect I have endometriosis. I have been getting periods up until recently and now they seem to of stopped completely. I have taken a test and I am not pregnant.

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.

My gynae dr moved me from Cerelle contraception to Dienogest as that apparently prevents the growth of endometriosis… I had my laparoscopy surgery in Nov 2021 which confirmed what I said all my life as a young girl to a grown adult- I have endometriosis.

I know a lot of people experience constant bleeding with cerelle my question is should I persevere, has anyone experienced bleeding at first and then it stopping? Thank you xx

My gynaecologist has recommended I try Cerelle to try and stop or lighten my periods as I am anemic from it. My iron hit rock bottom in January and I’ve been on iron tablets. does anyone have any experience of this and did the mini pill work for you?

I have had this now for the past year pretty constant and I also have been bleeding every day since November and this is while taking Cerelle everyday, nothing will stop the bleeding.

Has anyone had any experience with cerelle helping with adenomyosis does it actually work

I have been on Femoston HRT for 2.5 years and cerelle pill for donkeys. Last 2 months I have bled pretty heavily and endo pain is horrendous. Gp answer -keep an eye on it. Anyone suffered the same x

Then in 2021, a BSGE specialist gynaecologist advised that I start Dienogest with Cerelle in combination. The benefit was that the Dienogest did stop my periods.

I had no luck with cerelle and others. I know the active ingredient is the same but they never seem to work the same. The pharmacy want me to use morningside brand but I have never even heard of this anyone used it?

Itried an anti-inflammatory diet and was also prescribed Dienogest (Zalkya) which I take in combination with the mini-pill (Cerelle), since January this year. Following this treatment my flare pain improved gradually, but I still had a daily deep ache in my groin.
