I am EBF, so no period yet, I feel completely normal, and haven't had any changes in milk supply. I did have a tiny bit of bleeding the first few days, but nothing since. </p> <p>I hated how I felt on my old pills before getting pregnant, but I really like these and wish I could stay on them for long term. I set my cell phone to go off every evening so I remember to take them in a timely manner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-users#post-161668 Thu, 17 May 2012 14:54:03 +0000 obxwife 161668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been on the minipill since 4 weeks PP, making this my second pack and I'm almost finished it. Haven't had any problems, I did notice a VERY SLIGHT decline in milk, maybe a half an ounce or an ounce when I pump?? BUT, I also started back to work last month and I think that has to do with it as well. </p> <p>No crazy emotions or periods... yet. :)</p> <p>My LO is enough to remind me to take my pill every day and I set 2 alarms on my cell to alert me when to take it (lunchtime!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-users#post-161575 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:44:09 +0000 Pipers Mommy 161575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The absolute worst, Periods were all over the place and I have always been an every 28 day kinda girl. You have to take it at the exact same time every day or you'll more than like experience break through bleeding. I found that I was a little more emotional, too.<br /> I also got pregnant on it, not a biggie for DH and I since it is only a month or two earlier than when we planned on tryng for #2, but I won't be using the mini pill again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-users#post-161548 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:36:23 +0000 Lozza 161548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two friends who got pregnant while on the mini-pill. I would not have been responsible enough with a newborn/young infant to take it the same time every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-users#post-161496 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:14:25 +0000 Mrs. Train 161496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the mini pill for 6 months pp then switched to regular BCP. I had no problems at all. I was nursing twins and I had enough milk to feed them except for one bottle if formula a day. I don't think that was because of the pill. My twins just nursed all morning long. At about noon I just wouldn't have anything. </p> <p>At six months my dr told me to change it to the regular because once they start solids the change is enough to make the mini pill ineffective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-users#post-161488 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:06:16 +0000 katmmad 161488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the mini-pill. My main complaint is that my periods have been really wacky -- in the past 6 months I've gotten 2.5 periods, and actually worried I was pregnant for a while because of that. (I'm definitely not preggo, and my doctor's office said wonky periods are par for the course if you're a) breastfeeding and/or b) on the minipill.) </p> <p>The other problem is that you have to take it the same time every day -- so it's really easy to screw it up and have it stop working... so combined with the "no period" thing you won't know you're pregnant until you start feeling the pregnancy.</p> <p>I would wait for the 12 weeks pp mark and do the other one and just use condoms in the meantime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-pill-users#post-161466 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:54:56 +0000 jennylynn 161466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your opinion of it? I go for my 6 week pp check tomorrow, and was planning on the mirena, but come to find out my OB won't do that until 12 weeks pp. Soooo, I'm breastfeeding so I was thinking of trying the mini pill until I could do the mirena. Does it effect milk supply? And did it make you moody or emotional? I was on BCP before TTC and it made me a crazy lady! I really don't want to feel like that again! Overall, what was your experience with it? Thanks! </p>
