Anyone On the Errin Progestin Only Pill?? I Have Questions Posted: 03-06-06 16:25pm
Ok, so I am trying yet another bc pill
cause I have been getting nauseaus and
bloated the week after my peroid and
continues on till my next period, so I
would only have one week where I felt
somewhat "normal". So now my Dr. And I
decided to try the errin progestin only
pill and I am to take them continuously,
so does this mean I wont have a period??
Because in the phamphlet that comes with
the pills it says I may have irregular and
light periods, but I thought the progestin
only is supposed to stop your period??
And my Dr. Told me I can start my pills
tomorrow, and I don't have to wait till I
get my period next week to take them, but
in the phamphlet it says if you are
switching from combo pills to the
progestin only pills you should start them
on the day after you take your last active
pill. I tried calling my Dr. About
these questions, but I probably won't get
a call back till tomorrow, so can anyone
maybe answer my question now if you know??
Thanks, kelly j.

Yes on errin there are no placebos, so you
take them continuously. Take them the
same time everyday, within about an hour,
it is crucial you do this.
The "mini pill" as it is called does not
regulate periods like combo pills do, so
you will have some irregular spotting and
bleeding throughout your first month most
likely. Many women on the mini pill have
their periods just like ususal, you just
happen to not be taking any placebos. The
mini pill works a bit differently than
other pills, that is why you take them
everyday.

Im on the mini pill cerazette and no it
doesnt make u miss a period. Its the same
becoz it doesnt stop u ovulating like the
combined pill. Its not supposed to have
as many side effects however as this is my
first ever pill.. Ive had most of them...
Depression, weight gain, bigger boobs,
headaches and bloatedness. However ive
also been having spotting.... Yesterday
and 2day iam bleeding even tho I came off
my period last firday.... I can only
assume its breakthrough bleeding as my
last period lasted 2 weeks nearly. Xxx

Hello, since I last posted on this topic,
I have stopped the pill. It was making
me real sick and so bloated I thought I
might have been pregnant. It has been
abut two weeks since I stopped all
hormones and I am starting to get better,
im not as bloated and the nauseau and
tiredness is getting better, the headaches
are almost gone. But now I face the
consequences of no hormones as I have
already had a ovarian cyst rupture and it
hurt bad for about a day, I have not had a
period yet though, so as far as that whole
situation goes I cannot comment yet, so I
am still kinda nervous what the would be
like as far as pain and heaveyness of
bleeding from the adenomyosis that I was
orrigionally taking the hormones for.
Good luck to every one else on the pill
and I hope it gets better. Kelly

Cerazette Mini Pill Posted: 05-29-06 09:18am
I was wondering, if you miss some of the
cerazette pills can that delay a period?
My period is 5 days late which is unusual
and I have done 5 pregnancy tests, the
first 2 were a very faint line positive
and the other 3 were negative. Does
anyone know if missing some of these can
delay a period?

This Pill Is Horrible!!!! Posted: 12-08-07 10:00am
I've been on this pill since I had my
daughter and took it on time and now, 5
months after the birth of my daughter I am
pregnant.
