Cerazette and irregular periods

Is anybody else on Cerazette? I used to be on the mini pill and have been switched to Cerazette after the birth of my DS1 last August - first to support breast feeding, and now because I am slightly overweight and on the wrong side of 35.
My periods with Cerazette have always been very irregular, but generally more frequently than with the mini pill (more towards every 25 / 26 days rather than 28). Now I believe I haven't had a period for at least five weeks, although I can't quite remember when I last had one. I even took a pregnancy test last week, luckily it was negative. Not that I wouldn't like another little one, but not just yet...
What are your experiences with Cerazette? It's driving me mad, and I am thinking of taking another pregnancy test soon...

I had no periods for 3 years with cerazette. Saved me a fortune in tampons! It is fairly common for it to stop periods (p.s. it is a mini pill too)

I've been on Cerazette for nearly 2 years. Everything's been great on it; light periods, easy weight management, normal moods, no breast pain etc. However, in the last 5 months everything's changed my boobs have grown and are in agony each month, I'm bleeding every 2 weeks for a week at a time, and I'm feeling elation and extreme happiness followed up extreme anxiety and feelings of lethargy/miserable and lack of confidence. It's shit!

Has anyone else ever experienced such a dramatic change in side affects after a few years on this pill? I'm shocked as it seemed like the perfect pill for the first year or so! Sad
Thanks for your help xx
