Mini pill?

Hey friends, I am 6.5 weeks pp and I believe I started my period last night. I have been on the mini pill for 5 days now. Is this normal? Is it caused by the pill? Or just what my body is doing? With my daughter my period did not come back until 12 months pp and with my other son 14 months pp. Any insight would be appreciated 😀

Apparently minipill takes 7-14 days to kick in, so your period may have come during this time.

Oh wow. Mine told me to only use a backup method for the first two weeks. I somehow doubt it works in 48hrs as I still had cramping for the first week on it.

My doctor told me it was effective after 48 hours (2 doses) 😬

I saw this post earlier and am coming back to it now. So weird I am on day 5 of the mini pill as well and started bleeding tonight too! I read that spotting is very common the first few months. I took it for 4 months with my older daughter and didn’t get a period til I stopped it though. So weird. I was hoping I would have several more months before this happened!!!

Ya mine is still going, but it’s been really light. But my periods have always been lighter so who knows. Just hoping it stops soon!

So it’s just been spotting and now it seems done...very weird. I’m hoping this is just happening this month and I won’t have this again for many months! 🤞

I was on the mini pill after I had my daughter and never got my period. So maybe it’s just your body
