I didnt have the weight gain expected-in fact with healthy diet and exercise I lost weight. I've now come off depo but that was 4months ago now and still waiting for mother nature to be a cow once again....

However, just started on a new progesterone only one, Cerazette I think. I'm still on the 1st packet, and had a period after about a week on it. I'm near the end of the packet now, and started bleeding again today. It doesn't really 'feel' like a period but I guess it must be? Its only a few days since the last one tho. Can this happen?
Velociraptor Jun 2010 11:25am, 22 Jun 2010 11,483 posts	0 Velociraptor Cerazette can cause very irregular bleeding, and it's unlikely that you've had two "proper" periods, with ovulation and stuff, a few days apart.
