mini pill and personal experience
| Mon, 10-25-2004 - 4:05pm |
How effective is the mini pill when taken perfectly on time every day.
Has any one else ever gotten pregnant while using the mini pill(micronor)??
Has anyone missed their period while on the mini pill??? Meaning had a period one month and not the next??
I am on micronor and for some reason did not get my period on the 15th. It has left me very confused. I have been very regular with my periods thus far. I took a preg. test today 10/25 and it was negative.

Any help would be sooo appreciated!!

I have not gotten pregnant but I did have quite a scare with a missed pill (see a previous posting) and took Plan B the emergency birth control pills. However I did have intercourse during that missed pill which is why I was so nervous. Otherwise I guess if you are late taking your pill, you need to use backup for the next 24 hours if you have intercourse.
All in all though I like micronor, I feel healthy and my sex drive returned (a nice surprise!)
Since Micronor doesn't regulate your periods, when you have them depends on your own natural cycles. Some women don't ovulate on the mini pill and may not have periods at all, others will have them at their normal times. Once I was used to the mini pill, I was averaging around 35 days in between, but there was a time when I went much longer without a period. I was charting my cycles at the time, so I knew I had ovulated very late in the month and didn't have to worry so much.
Nanibird, thank you for what you wrote. That is exactly what happen to me my last period. It was very light and so it makes sense about skipping my period this month.
