is anyone on the mini pill?

Question

Not really liking the thought of the combined pill, but been thinking about the mini pill. Does anyone take it? What was it like when you first took it? What are the side effects? How are your periods with it?

Answer

I can only take the mini pill due to migraines, I personally haven't suffered any side efffects as such, my boobs grew within like two weeks very noticeably,my periods are shorter,however when I had the implant I bled like crazy 6-8wks sometimes it's just how your body personally reacts and adapts to it. I would say be careful some pills only have a 3 hour window if u miss taking one at your usual time

Answer

I've never taken them. But they were offered to me while I was breastfeeding. However, they are less effective compared to a regular pill or even a condom. Most have a 2-4 hour window of when you can take them before they become ineffective. They can give you shorter lighter periods though. 
   I was on the regular pill for years before I decided I wanted a baby. They're awesome, %97-98 and shorter periods (compared to what I used to have). There's lots of options out there, just talk to your dr and find out what's best for you and your lifestyle.

Answer

I had some breakthrough bleeding in the middle of my first cycle taking it, but it only lasted a day and then was gone. That was the only side effect I had from it. I also didn't get a period while on it which was awesome. I recommend!

Answer

I have to take the mini pill because i have Lupus. I was irrationally angry at first, had super heavy breakthrough bleeding to where i was soaking through a super tampon in less than 2 hours, and i had the urge to stuff my face soon after taking the pill even when i wasnt hungry. Everythings back to normal though and it all depends on your body. My periods are now shorter so theres that 😊

Answer

I can't take the combo pill because of my headaches as well, I don't like that it regulates periods, but other than that it's not bad. It took me almost 6 months to stop having break through bleeding all the time, but I had the same problem when I tried the combo pill. It just depends on your body, other than that it's been good! I recommend that, and what someone said about it not being affective isn't true as long as you take it at the same time every day 😊

Answer

No unfortunately on the implant or the pill my periods never stopped only became shorter,and maybe a bit lighter at times, it's trial and error see what works for you, I also lost a lot of weight on the implant where as I know some people gained and there periods stopped
