3rd Period This Month!

I started the Cerazelle progesterone-only pill almost a month ago, and I’m going on to my 3rd period of the month, I’m fed up, any advice on why it’s doing this, and how to help?

Hello, maybe worth seeing your GP or Well Woman Clinic.

Sorry not much help. 😕

I was also on the progesterone only pill and consistently bled for about 6 weeks I think it was. They say to wait 3 months to see if your body adjusts but like yourself I couldn’t take much longer of it either so they changed me to the combined pill.

If you still want to try for a bit longer then maybe make sure your taking it at the exact same time each day

I’ve tried like 3 different pills, one made me sick every night, the other made me cry everyday, this ones making me bleed. I feel like I have no option left, and I’m so scared of the implant and the injection! 😩

At least I know it’s not just my body that it’s happened to!

That’s really annoying however with the other pills maybe did you try for a while because sometimes it’s just your hormones settling.

Like when I was on pop it made me bleed constant but it also made me dizzy and made my moods extremely bad, like really bad and I had never ever been one to suffer with mood swings or hormonal moods with periods. But if it hadn’t made me bleed consistently I would of just waited to see if that stopped.

Idk but I was told the implant for me would’ve had the same exact problems as the pop pill because it’s the same hormone but this time you’d have to get it removed.

I’m on the combined pill meaxeni 30/150 Ethinyleestradiol/ Levonorgestrel and I’ve done well on it.

I really hope you find something and don’t have to take the scary ones xx
