Has anyone ever taken the Mini Pill. I was reading about same and very weary about it. Just wondering if it actually works as it is supposed to. Sorry for asking such a strange question.

Do you mean the progesterone only?

I took it when I was breastfeeding......

and I breastfed a long time.....
Can't say whether it affected my weight/sex life, cuz, babies affect both anyway....

Sorry, I don't think I have much help...
But if you hear anything, let us know....

PixelPixie,

Thanks for replying. Yes, I mean the Progesterone. Just wanted to know did you have irregular menstrual cycles with same. I have checking out reviews which say that you could be bleeding for at least a week then stop and then in two weeks bleed again. Thanks again. Did you find it effective.

weeeeeeeelllllllll......... I didn't make any more babies while I was on it.

see, that's where I am no help... because I took it while breastfeeding, with a new baby.. I didn't have my period foe a long time anyway, and when i did, I guess it was sort of normal...

Oh, hang on, I am remembering.. there were a series of months where my period kept coming earlier and earlier.... I was on a 31 day cycle ( start of one to start of next) then it went to 28, then 26 days, and carried on like that for a few months. I had a shorter cycle time.. actually that quite sucked, because I'd have about a week of period, then start it early... I didn't like that much....

Is it necessary for you to be on it?
It kept my womb potential-child-free.....

PixelPixie,

I am on the Combined Pill but I am told I need to change to Noriay or otherwise known as Micronor as the Combined is too dangerous to stay on long term. I found the Combined brill as I had no menstrual pains every month and it regulated same. I was reading about Cerezette, PixelPixie, what was the name of the one you were taking.
THANKS AGAIN
