Experience

I was on Cerazette for about 8 years after coming off Microgynon. For the majority of the time I didn’t notice any issues but for the last year or so of taking it, my mood and weight started to become noticeably worse and my boobs starting hurting a lot! Maybe I was just on it for too long but I’ve now come off it and feeling much better!
