This pill completely changed my life too, my periods were horrendous beforehand and I love not having to worry about periods anymore! Been 11 years and haven’t looked back!
@@Elliesxlife I’m not 100% sure as it was so long ago! When I was on the combined pill I used to have the break period every month, but on the mini pill it’s pretty much stopped my periods altogether. I think that took around 3-4 months to happen? I still get spotting now and again but the pain and actual periods stopped pretty much straight away when I went on the pill, hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing! This just goes to show different things work for different people. I also tried natural remedies for years, but I ended up needing a pill anyway. Still get periods but it's a lot better now. People talk about the risks of the pill, but they don't talk about the risks of extreme pain, heavy bleeding and lots of pain medication. Not to mention the way that extreme periods mess with your mental health.
I'm so happy for you Bryony. I've watched your vids for years and not often commented but I've seen all your period struggles. It's SO freeing when you finally find a solution.
Same! I'm taking this pill for 3 months now, but I'm taking double doses. Last two years were hell, tried combined pills which was disaster, Kayleena IUD which was total horror, nasty thing, and in the end I was said this type doesn't even help with painful heavy periods. *facepalm*
im on this pill too and after about 14 pills I got a very light period which I'm still on after a week so I'm hoping it will stop. has this happened to anyone else?
Ibuprofen is called Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) in the US, but Paracetamol is called Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) in the US. In case anyone was wondering what Bryony was talking about.
I'm so glad that you found relief. I Completely understand why you would continue on it, rather than have periods for the channel. You know enough about reusable menstrual products to be able to access them without actually using them, if you choose to. Tfs
Glad you're enjoying the pill, I'm surprised since I've mainly heard negative experiences with it. I've been on the same pill for a year. For the first 5 months I had no periods at all and loved that, but now I have them every month or every two-three months. It also gave me horrible mood swings and bad acne the first 6 months, but now it's better. I hope my periods go away again.
I’m on that pill as well, I managed to go about 2-3 years with it completely stopping my periods but now I have it regularly again, definitely not as bad as they used to be
My mom got me onto a pil within a few months of my period starting, because they were to heavy to go to school etc. Its common with women in my family. I do the 3 weeks on, 1 week period, repeat. It makes my periods a lot less severe, really a godsend. This year after more than 10 years of the same pill, i have gone on a lighter pill. Guess after puberty my hormones settled and i started getting cystic acne and mood issues. Going on a lighter pill helped that. Talk to your gp, it can make a huge difference
I wish that this pill had worked for me but unfortunately it never stopped my periods and actually made them longer and on top of that I also spotted on/off. Had to stop it after 4/5 months :/
I’m on these! Been on them for around the same length of time as you, and they are a miracle worker! I used to get such heavy painful periods- so much so I was anaemic and had to be prescribed iron tablets. Since being on these, i get the odd headache or back discomfort around the time of the month, but I don’t get proper periods anymore, I don’t bleed and it’s amazing! 💕🙏🏻
Ive been on this pill for 14 months now. My cycle has become mildly more stable but I still have fairly irregular periods (can go 2/3 months without a period and then have 2 within the same month🤦🏼♀️) but I darent try anything else now as the combined pill badly affected my mental health and when I had the Nexplanon implant I literally bled every day for a year until I had it taken out. Hormonal contraception just does not agree with me!! xx
@@mychemkomorebi for me this side effect is making me unhealthy. I'm not as fit anymore even though I exercise, and nothing is making the extra weight go away.
@@mychemkomorebi I'm not underweight but I also struggle to gain weight and for me this pill didn't do that. I actually lost more weight (2kg) when i was on it, but I can't be certain that it was the pill.
I gladly only gained 5 kg but it still sucks and I was also constantly bloated and had water retention. Before I always had bad pms and water retention 2 weeks before my period but then the other two weeks of the month I felt amazing. When I took the pill it was constant but my pms was only for a week instead of two.
So happy I found your page! I recently started BC too, and much like yourself my periods were completely dreadful because I have uterine fibroids, but they started me on a mini pill. Much like your first experience, my first period was so long and drawn out, but now I've come up on my second period date, so I am trying to see if it works by lessening or getting rid of my period.
I’m glad it has suited you Bryony and ur getting on well with it.I tried it and it was awful on me I became depressed,irrational mood swings it got worse had to stop it.I’m off all contraceptive pills now as I have been diagnosed with IBS as it just messed me up much worse.I’m feeling much better though now so I’m very happy thanks for a great informative video as always stay safe 😊
As someone who's suffered with severe period pain, endometriosis and ppmd since teenhood, hormonal birth control is life changing indeed! After my second Endo surgery at 34 I decided to go for the IUD and I will NEVER look back!!!! I didn't realize how sick I felt all the time until I had the IUD stop my periods.
This makes me feel a lot better and more hopeful for this pill. I started this pill recently because combined pills gave me horrible mood swings and i was miserable 50% of the time. I'm almost done with my first packet and my mood is SO much better, but I've been bleeding (thankfully lightly) for three weeks now! I really hope I'll be like you and it will stop after a few more months 🤞I have pcos so I'm no stranger to irregular periods, it doesn't bother me, but if I'm bleeding for weeks and weeks with no break? 😅 Hopefully it's just a case of waiting it out for a few months 😊
Hi there! I have PCOS too and I havnt had my period in a year :(. Did this make your period come back or did you already get periods before taking this pill?
@@jenishaanilkumar299 sorry for such a late response! I already had periods before taking the pill, they were just less frequent than 'normal'. I just bled for almost the entire time I was on the mini pill which I couldn't stand unfortunately, I stopped taking it.
@@thatsme9371 sadly not. I took it for 3 months, the nurse said it's possible that it would still go away if I persisted but after 3 months of almost constant bleeding (literally just 14 days out of the 3 months where I didn't bleed) I'd had enough and switched to a lower dose estrogen combined pill, mine is called gedarel and seems to be working okay for me so far.
@@PeachyYummy24 it seems like nothing helps me. I also didnt bleed two weeks of the three months and currently I am still bleeding because of the mini pill. But I tried almost everything before the mini pill. I don't know what to do anymore. I would love if someone was ready to take my uterus out, but nobody wants to because I'm young. But my natural period made me suicidal because it just hurt so much. Why is death and a lot of problems the only two options for me. I'm so devastated :(
You are living my dream. I've wanted to stop my periods for months and this month I am finally going to get the pills. My periods can be really painful and uncomfortable and they really disrupt my life so I hope this helps me too.
@sweetsouls5959 yes and I've never been happier! I still need to have a break with the pill every two months but when I do the bleeding is practically nothing
@@mariamarighthere Thank your for your reply, that's great news for you. Just a quick question did you get much side effects when you first started taking it?
@@sweetsoulsss no none at all. The only thing was when I first started taking the pill I went too long without a break so I started bleeding. But eventually I began taking breaks every two months and it was fine. Also, during the break I felt my mood dip a little but that might just be me.
Snap....i feel your pain i suffer with endo and pcos. I have just come off the pill after a few years as I would like to family plan. I manage with painkillers tens machine and vaping cbd oil! Tough road ahead.
@@nicholewalters22 My daughter started periods aged 8 diagnosed PCOS aged 10 put on Yasmin OCP until 20 as in settled relationship and married when she was 27 changed to implant so zero periods since 10/11 yrs old. Hoping to try for family in next 1-2 years but has to have major surgery this year then has to wait a year before trying for baby. We are lucky Gynae and Fertility Team work together so as, soon as she wants to try will be seen at Fertility Clinic and if need offered 3 IVF. Life just throws curveballs but as she says so many children need Foster care or adoption there are other options still. It was hard decision to put her on pill when so young however that and implant best thing as was always in hospital so no quality of life.
This shows how different people react to pills. I took the cerazette for 5 weeks and had to stop. My skin got really really bad and I had bleading and spotting for the whole time
I had bleeding for 11 weeks and also bad skin during that time , but it all cleared up completely on week 11 & never came back- they usually recommend giving it 3 months to settle
But it's normal. Bleeding and spotting up to three months is absolutely fine, as later on you will have months or years of *heaven*. This type of pill is really good as it contains only one type of hormones, compared to combined pill for example, so it doesn't affect you so much, mood vise or bleeding vise
I spotted for 4-5 months, gained 5kg and struggled a lot with cysts and was constantly bloated..so it’s probably a good pill for most people and probably also better than other pills but I still haven’t had a good experience.
Regarding Lyme and it almost always has serious co infections. I have had it. General doctors kinda act as though itnis not so serious because they do not specialize in lyme. I went through that.. Then after severe anemia & other strange "can't get well" stuff my entire family saw a world renowned lyme specialist. He said you don't get better, it's something you have to treat. By now, like us you have chronic lyme. You need to see a specialist and he gave me doxycycline. I hope you will just see what a specialist says.
my norlyda/errin did the same for me. it nixxed the abysmal ovulation pain i had every month that caused cramps painful enough to knock the air out of me. i am sosoSO happy for you that you have something that makes your life immeasurably easier.
Amazing to hear that it has worked so well for you, hormonal pills make me so nervous, I'm worried they will chance me and then I worry about blood clots and stuff (I'm so paranoid). But hearing this makes me less nervous if I will need pills like that.
I take a progesterone only pill to treat my endometriosis. I struggle with taking it on time because I have ADHD. Side effects wise it's fine. In the beginning I had a lot of headaches but that evend out. Now my boobs are just sore sometimes. I was very lucky to never have had a period while taking my pill. I am going to switch to the progesterone that is in the hormonal IUD to make sure that I still don't have a period and not to many side effects. If that works out I am going to get a hormonal IUD :)
Please, do not choose Kayleena, I was advised to take that one, I went through 10 months of hell, just to be said by another profesional after they took it out, that Kayleena doesn't help with endo/painful heavy periods. The nurse who was implanting it said to me they are basically the same with mirena, I can't believe such a mistake can happen.
I want the Mirena because it's easier to get my insurance to cover it because the mirena can be prescribed for heavy and painful periods. I hope it works out for me 🙈 Really cool to see that I am not the only one with this unusual combination of chronic illnesses :D
The mood changes are what I'm incredibly worried about. Anyone else with endo and mood swings before taking the pill want to let me know how it went for you?
I am looking into starting the pill for endometriosis. My doctor suggested Aviane for me. I haven't tried it yet as I have to wait until my period is over to begin. My doctor explained the pill will stop my uterus from building lining on the outside of my uterus and stop the production of complex ovarian cysts. I am nervous to try it but I am like Byrony, I am over having painful periods. Mothers with endo have told me endo pain is comparable to childbirth. ...oh. okay then. Clearly my pain is valid then. Jeez.
I used to be on Cerazette and unfortunately I never got to enjoy the benefits! I was spotting for 15 days! Doctor told me to double up and take two a day until the spotting stopped but it continued.
So grateful to find your video! I’m on my second month of cerazette and had terribly painful period, really heavy bleeding (which I had to take meds for to try and lessen the heaviness) and terrible PMS which was also exasperated by my ADHD. I’m day 4 of my second period and haven’t had any bleed which I was very surprised.ed about given how heavy mine are. Also got gastro flu atm so unsure how I feel is a combo of my body going through the motions or gastro or both, haha. Hoping my next “period” will be a lot more breezy!
My Primolut has stopped working at the moment and I’ve been bleeding heavily with a lot of pain for the past month and the pills are just doing nothing! I’m going to have to reassess what I do to manage my horrific periods 😟 I’m really glad the pill has helped you out though that’s great news!
It's so interesting that they prescribed you Cerazette. I was on this pill for over a decade, and it was great. However, they kept trying to bully me into going onto a different, cheaper mini pill. Seeing that this brand is still being prescribed, I'll demand this again if I need to go back on it (i.e. if I ever get laid again 😂) as I don't want to play medication roulette. Thanks Bryony 💜
I've been on this mini pill since April and haven't had a period.. like maybe light spotting when I wipe but nothing else. I would get small cramps but it's it
I just finished a month of cerelle and feeling a bit iffy. I get headaches, fatigue, and cramp-like pains recently, not really sure how it is affecting me mentally since I have been bad in that way recently anyway. But I hope if I continue it will settle down like it has for you. :D The headaches are the worst.
Happy New Year Bryony. I'm on Nexplanon for heavy periods. It's been okay but I started bleeding heavy again so I've been prescribed the generic of Cerazette called Cerelle. It seems to be working but its making me a bit hormonal and ravenous.
I am on my 2nd month of cerazette, last month I had a period that was slightly lighter than my usual ones, this month I’ve had the symptoms as if I were starting a period but no period… I’m only due next week so im not sure what’s going on but im really hoping they just stop, im sick of having to deal with them
Does anyone have experience taking cerazette for bad pms/PMDD? My doctor recommended me taking this pill to help with pms but I’ve seen mixed reviews in terms of its effect on mood!
As someone who used to have horrible periods, who hasn't had a period in nearly 10 years because of desogestrel (cezarette then cerelle) but has come off it to try for children...yes. Absolutely bricking it. I've been off it around 3 days now and hoping my period won't come back with a vengeance. From what I can see online it usually takes 2 - 4 weeks for your period to come back, possibly closer to 2 months if you've been on it a long time, anything more than 3 months and you should consult a doctor.
This pill completely changed my life too, my periods were horrendous beforehand and I love not having to worry about periods anymore! Been 11 years and haven’t looked back!

Seeing that this brand is still being prescribed, I'll demand this again if I need to go back on it (i.e. if I ever get laid again 😂) as I don't want to play medication roulette. Thanks Bryony 💜
I loved that pill! I have the nexplanon bar now and it’s also excellent
I'm glad you no longer have cramps ❤
I've been on this mini pill since April and haven't had a period.. like maybe light spotting when I wipe but nothing else. I would get small cramps but it's it
The pill helps me too & helped in university
I’m going to ask the doctor to stop my periods they are really bad
I’m glad you’re doing better! Hugs from Costa Rica
I just finished a month of cerelle and feeling a bit iffy. I get headaches, fatigue, and cramp-like pains recently, not really sure how it is affecting me mentally since I have been bad in that way recently anyway. But I hope if I continue it will settle down like it has for you. :D The headaches are the worst.
Did it stop periods?
Happy New Year Bryony. I'm on Nexplanon for heavy periods. It's been okay but I started bleeding heavy again so I've been prescribed the generic of Cerazette called Cerelle. It seems to be working but its making me a bit hormonal and ravenous.
Are you still on cerelle? It’s made me ravenous too!
I am on my 2nd month of cerazette, last month I had a period that was slightly lighter than my usual ones, this month I’ve had the symptoms as if I were starting a period but no period… I’m only due next week so im not sure what’s going on but im really hoping they just stop, im sick of having to deal with them
We are on the same situation 😢😢
So happy for you Briony :)
Are you still taking the Dong Quai with the pill or no? Did the Dong Quai stop working? Just curious because I'm using it right now. Thanks!
Wait so you had heavy periods for roughly three months before they stopped? 😫 or how heavy or reg were they from when you started the pill?
Can you please tell me . That medicine for periods pain? Medicine have to take in empty stomach or after breakfast??? Please
did you get any increased hunger, bloating or weight gain on this pill?
Cerazette is used to prevent pregnancy. Is this what you are talking about?
Does anyone have experience taking cerazette for bad pms/PMDD? My doctor recommended me taking this pill to help with pms but I’ve seen mixed reviews in terms of its effect on mood!
Does the progestogen-only pill cause blood clots? Especially cerazette
It can...chance is very low tho...
When is need to take before or after period?
Very helpful thanks for posting.
Thank you for this!
Do you take it continuously ? Without skipping a week for a very light period?
Yes, you take this pill continuously. Only downside of this is that you don't know if and/or when you start bleeding again.
how many days before comming ur pirriod ma'am??
How did you ask your doctor for the pill and who did you no that is the pill you what it
How do u feel when u are ready to have children? Will u worry about having to stop the pill and so periods comming back? Are u dreading it?
As someone who used to have horrible periods, who hasn't had a period in nearly 10 years because of desogestrel (cezarette then cerelle) but has come off it to try for children...yes. Absolutely bricking it. I've been off it around 3 days now and hoping my period won't come back with a vengeance. From what I can see online it usually takes 2 - 4 weeks for your period to come back, possibly closer to 2 months if you've been on it a long time, anything more than 3 months and you should consult a doctor.
thank u for sharing
Is there a similar one available in the USA?
you can look up pills with the same hormones
Are you still fostering, I really enjoy watching your videos about fostering
I love your accent :)
you need to get on tiktok
Taking pain meds a few times a month = ❌️
Taking the pill every single day for years = ✅️
