Question:
Hi, iv been on the POP micronor for about 4yrs, maybe longer, and have had no problems with it. I went to doctors today to get more and the doctor said i should try cerazette. I have 3 children (all planned, 2 are only 2month old twins) so when she mentioned that it can stop periods and ovulation and is more reliable I thought id get some to try (3 children is plenty for us!) But now iv read the side effects im not sure. I dont know if its worth swapping because micronor has always been reliable and never caused me any side effects.
Anyone out there that uses/has used cerazette, would you like to tell me how you got on with it, if you had any side effects etc, to help me make up my mind. It would be very helpful and appreciated. thanks.
Answers:
Micronor is a progesterone only pill too, its side effect profile is identical to Micronor. It also works in exactly the same way, micronor also tends to stop ovulation and periods. Cerazette is a newer version of the same thing! Doctors and patients tend to prefer Cerazette as it has a much longer safety window, this means that unlike Micronor, which needs to be taken within 2 hours of the set time each day, Cerazette has a 12 hour window, much like the combined pill. There are few other differences!
I was on Cerazette up until 2 weeks ago when i found out i was 11 weeks pregnant!!! I never had any side affects and still got my period too although they were a little irregular!!!
