Cerezette Contraceptive Pill

Hi, hoping for advice - I'm 47, been on the Cerezette Pill for about 11 or so years, since I had my 2nd Son, we would have liked a third, but our Son is disabled & needs a lot of attention, so decided it wouldn't be fair on him to have another baby, so went on the Cerezette Pill. I've had no problem with this Pill & haven't had a period since being on it. However, since 23rd December (13 days), there's been some blood, first of all just when I wiped, it was on the tissue. I wear pads anyway due to some incontinence since breaking my back, and it's been in the last 5 days that dark red blood has appeared on the pad, not heavy. I have an under active Thyroid & take 150mg of Thyroxine. Next Monday I have an appointment for a Pill check & my Vitamin B12 Injection with a Nurse. I also suffer from Depression & Anxiety, which I have medication for. I also get bouts of itchiness. I was wondering if anyone knew what was happening? 

Cheers. 

Raquel.

  • Hello there Raquel and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you have recently noticed some irregular bleeding and appreciate this must be a bit of a worry for you. Unfortunately no one on here can say if anything is the matter as there could be a number of causes for this type of thing to happen.

    Whilst it seems you have a pill review next week with the nurse it may be worth calling the surgery ahead of this and letting them know about these recent symptoms just in case the doctor also wants to check you out as well. They may want to examine you. So I would suggest  rather than delaying things do speak to the surgery when you can and see what they have to say.

    Try not to over think things but it is important to have this looked into just to be on the safe side.

    All the best
