Hi all, I've been diagnosed with endometriosis in July last year. I have 3 nodules behind my uterus hiding on the bowel wall, I'm due a laparoscopy to remove them all but looking to find an alternative to surgery. I have thought about the injections that put me into menopause but don't want to go down that road. My gynae has suggested Cerazette and said it's like the mini pill and will stop the production of oestrogen, which will hopefully stop my endo from growing and give me a break from the… read more

Hiya, post is a bit old but I speak from experience which was around 5 years ago now though. I didn't know I had endo at the time and was prescribed it to keep my cysts at bay. I started it when I was around 24-25 yr old and ceased when I was around 29. I started as prescribed and had 3 beautiful years of no bleeding, no period, no symptoms I could really describe. I came off it as I didn't think it was great to be on something manufactured for that long ( I prefer natural remedies) although I can say it worked brilliantly with me. I have oestrogen dominance and found that this helped with that. I'm 32 now and been diagnosed with sever endo last month during a scan with a 10cm cyst on my right ovary :-( I'm waiting for gynae appointment but I'm going to book in tomorrow with GP with a hope to starting Cerazette again. I mean it should be the same now for me as it was years ago right?! i'll let you know how I get on it they prescribe it again. Wishing you well :-D

Hi huni, on just Cerazette I had very erratic bleeding as a side effect. I often do on progesterone only treatments as that's what the Mirena coil is too. My gynaecologist recommended taking Yasmin an Oestrogen only pill as well as the cerezette. I take them both without a break most of the time. It works for me. X
