Have Missed Periods. Was On Cerazette. Darkish Discharge With Clots, Iron Smell. Pregnancy Test Negative. Pregnant?

Hi, my query is surrounding periods and cerazette. I was on cerazette from june 2011 until August 2012. I had no problems whilst on it. I didn't have periods, sometimes had darkish discharge but was assured this was expected. I came off cerazette on advice from my GP after reviewing recent family events. I had my first normal period lasting five days in Sept 2012 and then one in Oct also. Since then though I've only had one proper period in Jan 2013. I did multiple pregnancy tests between oct and jan and visited the nurse who also did a test and assured again that it could take time for a regular cycle (which I had before cerazette) to return. Since Jan I have done pregnancy tests weekly all negative. Yesterday I started what I thought was a period but I'm not sure as it's very dark and clotted in appearance and has a vary strong iron smell. I really don't want to be pregnant. I use condoms when having sex and am very careful. What could be causing lack of periods if I'm not pregnant? Please help. I'm extremely worried...

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The chances of pregnancy are not there in your case because your pregnancy test is negative but you can consult a gynaecologist for blood test and ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy.
The chances of missed period are because of hormonal changes caused by the pills.
Good luck.
Take care.
