But, I was on the mini-pill for about a year (on BCP in general for about 10 years) and never got a period while on the mini-pill. After stopping, I got my period back the next month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1474158 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:14:39 +0000 mdf106 1474158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not TTC, but by ob/gyn said that being on the minipill combined with breastfeeding would delay my period more than just breastfeeding would. I also think the minipill gets out of your system quickly, this is why it is important to take it at the same time every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471908 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 07:42:08 +0000 Adira 1471908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went off the mini pill at 6 months postpartum, but didn't have a period until 9.5 months pp, and I'm still regulating (12 months pp)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471829 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 04:03:46 +0000 AprilFool 1471829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Hopefully I can be so lucky, that would probably be my ideal timeline! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471808 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 02:33:56 +0000 lamariniere 1471808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the mini pill for almost 2 years. Period came back at 10 months PP, BF my son until he was 13 months. Went off the pill about 2 months before actively TTC and was pregnant 5 cycles after going off the pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471805 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 02:29:27 +0000 AprilFool 1471805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: @fancyfunction: @blackbird: That is all really reassuring to hear. I was worried with no period it might take awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471449 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:03:22 +0000 blackbird 1471449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You'll probably regulate quickly. if you aren't nursing very much, the mini pill loses its effectively (only about 80%, the other 20% comes from the hormones released while nursing, but you can still ovulate if you aren't nursing frequently). I hope it comes back for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471445 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:00:20 +0000 fancyfunction 1471445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I regulated quickly too. I always get my period on the mini pill but the last time I took it before TTC, I hadn't gotten one in a few months. So I stopped and got my period a few weeks later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471258 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:53:43 +0000 LBee 1471258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I re-regulated immediately, which surprised me as I was one of the people who didn't have a period the whole time I was on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-the-mini-pill#post-1471137 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:15:18 +0000 AprilFool 1471137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had experience with stopping the mini pill to TTC?</p> <p>Currently I am 11m pp and no period. LO only feeds 2 times a day (the rest formula) and sleeps through the night. I expected to have my period back by now? </p> <p>Since I want to stop BC in Nov I am considering just staying on the mini pill. How long did it take you to regulate after stopping? </p>
