As long as you take it in the 3 hour window then it is fine. I can't remember what the % effectiveness is. It can mess around with your periods though while your body is getting used to it. I was getting periods every 2 weeks for the first few months til things straightened out. It's a pain but for those who can't/don't want to take the usual pill it's a good option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-the-mini-pill#post-54364 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 08:18:25 +0000 Pipers Mommy 54364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is any one else on the mini pill? My doctor prescribed it post baby because I was breastfeeding at the time, but also because of health concerns with elevated Liver Enzymes. Although I have stopped BF, she won't prescribe me anything else because of the liver.<br /> I'm not confident in it, I used to have a 28 day cycles like clock work and now it seems like they are every 21 days or so. This has been going on for 4 months, could it be that my body is still trying to regulate itself? I see my MD next week, but thought I would check to see if anyone else has experienced this. </p>
