Does Cerazette Intake Show Pregnancy Symptoms?
Hi, im on cerazette and have been for about 4 months *I usually have a 28/29 day cycle and have normal to heavy bleeding. However this month I was 3 days late and for the last 2 days there is only a small amount of blood when I wipe. I know cerazette can give you pregnancy symptoms but I just feel pregnant. Do you think I could be or is it just the cerazette? Thanks

Hallow Dear,
Cerazette is a Progesterone only pill or a Mini pill for contraception.
Progesterone does cause salt and water retention causing breast engorgement and tenderness. Salt restriction might give you relief from this symptom. Moreover, Progesterone causes nausea and vomiting due to increased stomach acidity. Some antacid will give you relief to some extent from it.
Progesterone also minimises the menstrual bleeding and may even delay menses. You may confirm the pregnancy status by :
1. Beta hCG test on the blood. Values more than 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy.
2. Alternatively, you may perform the pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample about a week after the missed period; earlier, the test may report false negative results.
I hope this assures you.
