Hey all, I've got a Drs appointment on Tuesday, and from my research I think that this is pretty normal but I just need to rant/ask for personal advice/see if anyone else has had this.
Two and a half months ago I started Cerazette. It is a pill form of the hormone which is in the arm implant. I wanted the implant because I occasionally forget my pill. My doctor recommended to have the pill version to see if my body will accept the drug before going through the arm implant procedure.
I use to be on Ovranette which is the standard contraceptive pill (3 weeks of pill, one week off). I finished that in September so instead of having the weeks break started on the Cerazette. A week later I had a period. This was fine but I was also really ill with horrendous stomach pains for 5 days and a fever (first day only). I didn't contact a doctor because the pain was the same pain I get with IBS and one of the triggers for IBS is hormonal. So I figured that it was fine, and it went away. The period itself was fairly normal.
The next month all I had was a little bit of spotting, which lasted less than a day.
This month... oh boy.
The first day, which was not the Tuesday gone but the Tuesday before was light and fine. The next day was like a flood and I felt awful. Like flu-y. And I haven't stopped bleeding since. It's mostly been really light. Two days ago there was barely any bloody, yesterday there was nothing, and thinking it had stopped my fiance and I had sex. This morning I was bleeding again. I'm pretty sure that the sex has nothing to do with it, it wasn't rough or painful.
But yeah, I am SO FED UP of bleeding.
I'm not sure whether I should stay on this pill and get the implant in two weeks when my pill finishes or go back to my other one. I'm generally quite reliable with remembering but when I do forget I panic and get anxious so I would rather not worry.
So anyway. Any advice, suggestions or sympathy will be most welcome.
