I just got my period back at 9 months pp and it was a doozie...then 4 days after it stopped it started right back up again. With DS1 I had basically 2 periods every month while I was on the mini pill and it drove me NUTS. I'm worried that's what is happening again now. I'm thinking about just quitting hormonal BCP until I'm done nursing. Has anyone who had crazy spotting/breakthrough bleeding on the mini pill tried this? I'm worried about a) the spotting continuing and b) how can I get a good sense of my cycles to start if I don't know what is *actually* a period?

No advice specifically on the mini pill, but since I got my period back pp I haven't been able to find a single pill I don't spot on. This month I decided to go off and I have had a perfect cycle with no spotting.

I had this experience while on mini pill -- for this reason i got the Mirena 3.5 months after my last birth. I spotted for about six weeks on it and then was fine...but now I've had it for about 4 months and in the last month I've had minor spotting a day a week. I hear that gets better after 6 months....

I had awful spotting on the minipill, and I went off of it until I was done nursing (I used condoms). I had normal cycles while off the pill. I had previously used the minipill after LO1 with no issues. I also had some spotting on the regular pill, and finally found one that is working for me (Sprintec Tri).

@mdf106: Sprintec Tri is the next one my doctor wants me to try. I'm glad to hear it worked for you.

Thanks guys! I'm happy to hear the spotting went away after going off the pill. I'll have to run this by DH but I think its the way I'll go.
