Hi I'm a newbie. So hello everyone. I'm 44 and have 3 children.
I would like to ask if everyone else has experienced this. Let me explain.
I had a miscarriage in May 2010. And afterwards was put on Cerazette.
I stopped taking Cerazette on June 15th 2015. So five years on it. It was fab no periods no problems until the last 6 months. Reason I stopped taking it was because I was getting a lot of aches pains, bad boob ache, period pain constantly, headaches forgetfulness you name it. Emotional, always feeling anxious crying every day. Just want to add that from the beginning all was fine. No periods no spotting. No nothing. No pms, no boob ache, any ache, it was great. think I was happy in myself. Hard to remember. This only started in say the last 12 months of taking it. More so towards the end.
But it's only been the last year or so they I've realised I was really moody, nothing excited me. If you told me I'd won a million pounds, I'd say make sure you spell my name correctly on the cheque. I felt down and anxious most of the time. Leading to all sorts of insecurities with my partner. I Suffered bad period pain twice a month. Sometimes for weeks at a time. And a bout of boob ache that lasted about ten days. Bad headaches. Itchy hands and nipples. Not sleeping very well. And hair thinning and memory loss. So decided to come off it. So I Went to see the nurse. She tried to tell me I may be in early menopause. Told her I'd read hundreds of woman all saying the same thing about Cerazette But she just said to me to come off it then and come back in 3 weeks if I hadn't improved. Then I could have a blood test. Needless to say within a week or so I started to feel a lot better. All of those symptoms I've just described have gone.
So here we are its September 7th and I've just finished my 3rd period. tHe first one came on July 20th.so just over a month of stopping the pill, Really really light. First few days was just staining. Followed by a few days of very light flow. Moderate period pain. All in all around 9/10 days. The period I had last month Was totally different. Had pain came on next day. Normal/light flow for one day, Then total flooding day and night for three days which I'd never ever experienced before. Ever!. I' always had light periods before. Anyway after the 3 days it went to moderate to light over a 24 hour period then stopped. 5 days worth. No aching boobs. No tender nipples. Just moderate to bad period pain. The period I've just finished was the same as last month. Light to flooding to hardly nothing. Lasted 6 days but quite bad pain, no boob ache. But I only had a break of 22 days since the last period. So my questions, did anyone else experience these bad symptoms out of the blue with that pill after plain sailing. And do you think I might be starting peri menopause
