Thank you!<br /> @MamaBehr: That is a bummer. I would have stopped if I got those side effects, too.<br /> @lamariniere: Also a big bummer! Sorry to hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-effects-on-cycle#post-1268522 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 03:26:38 +0000 lamariniere 1268522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on it for two years and also hated it. I had pretty normal 28 day cycles, but always had spotting a few days before. I think it made me kind if depressed though and absolutely killed my sex drive. When we started TTC baby 2 I felt so much better within a month of going off of it. I would not take it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-effects-on-cycle#post-1268272 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 20:33:11 +0000 MamaBehr 1268272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually really disliked it. I would get a period every month and it would be super long (even though it was more like spotting for over a week, every 3 weeks or so). After I have this baby, I will not go back on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-effects-on-cycle#post-1268267 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 20:28:28 +0000 fancyfunction 1268267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on it before getting pregnant for about 3 years. The last few months, I didn't get a period. I was freaked at first but then didn't worry about it. Once I stopped taking it my period was back to normal. I've been on it again almost a year since giving birth and sometimes my period is normal and sometimes<br /> I'll skip a month. Which is all "normal" on this pill. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-effects-on-cycle#post-1268225 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 19:53:35 +0000 pastemoo 1268225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsScottish: That's good to hear! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-effects-on-cycle#post-1268198 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 19:28:59 +0000 MrsScottish 1268198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the mini pill for almost 2 years. I have been on everything and it was by far my favourite. I felt normal on it compared to all the other pills. It didn't help with cramps but that was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-effects-on-cycle#post-1268182 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 19:02:42 +0000 pastemoo 1268182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone find their cycle totally off schedule when they got on the mini pill?<br /> The nurse practitioner warned me it doesn't regulate cycles like the regular pill but it freaks me out waiting 8+ weeks for period...</p> <p>What kind of cycle side effects did you get on the mini pill? </p>
