Would Withdrawing Cerazette Causes Bloating Of Stomach Andback Pain?

I stopped taking Cerazette at the beginning of September and since then I have had lots of side affects - first of all i was constantly tired and couldnt stop sleeping, then i felt sick a lot of the time, now i have very bad bloating and back ache. I have had unprotected sex twice since coming off it, i did a pregnancy test last week and it was negative. Are these normal symptoms? thanks

Hi,

Cerazette contains desogestrel a contraceptive pill which used to prevent pregnancy. This is a type of pills called the mini pill or progesterone only pill. It contains only one female sex hormone desogestrel and doesn't contain estrogen. Stop taking Cerazette abruptly without consulting your doctor may causes some unpleasant side effects that is known as withdrawal symptoms like breakouts, mood swings, weight fluctuations, extreme tiredness, sleepiness, drowsiness, backache, feeling sick or nausea etc., are all possible and if that wasn't enough to deal with it can also make you bloated, according to a new study.

The study has found that women's vitamin D levels drop after they quit using hormonal birth control and that can lead to the bloat. The study has found that women on birth control had 20% more vitamin D in their blood than women who aren't on it anymore. If these side effects persist for long or bother you, then you should consult your doctor promptly for medical help.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
