I'm hoping when I go off of it to TTC again that my period comes back like before. Once I got on Zarah, the stupid mini periods stopped. Such a relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-from-the-mini-pill-to-something-else#post-1123702 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:44:44 +0000 Bookish 1123702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yikes! </p> <p>@autumnlove: yeah I'm having terrible periods on them. I can't wait to switch. </p> <p>@cascademom: I had that problem with a couple different combo pills. I think I've gone through 6 different types before I finally found one that worked for me. I can't wait to get back to it!! Haate this stupid mini pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-from-the-mini-pill-to-something-else#post-1123663 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:33:59 +0000 cascademom 1123663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched to a combo pill when we weaned at 8 months. I hated, hated the mini pill. I had a weird period every two weeks on it even when I took it correctly. Now, the combo pill has killed my sex drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-from-the-mini-pill-to-something-else#post-1123619 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:17:47 +0000 blackbird 1123619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched when I stopped pumping. They told me it was only 85% effective without lactating. Eep no thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-from-the-mini-pill-to-something-else#post-1123591 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:07:53 +0000 autumnlove 1123591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will switch when I stop nursing....hopefully around 12-18 months. The mini pill does not suppress my crazy periods. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-switch-from-the-mini-pill-to-something-else#post-1123571 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:00:19 +0000 Bookish 1123571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently on the mini pill and I'm not a fan. My Dr said that I can switch to a combination pill when LO is 6mos+ and I'm nursing/pumping 5 or more times a day.</p> <p>If you were on the mini pill, when did you switch to a different contraceptive, and what were the conditions under which you switched? If you were still BF-ing when you changed, did it affect your supply? </p>
