hi was wondering if someone would please help me. I have been on the Mini pill for 5 months the doctor gave me the mini pill because i have migraines and it could be dangerous for me to go on the combined pill. For the first month i was irregular and had 2 very heavy periods, then everything settled down in to a regular routine. But Ive recently had a period then i was off for one week then i was on again and then off for another week and now im back on again.

Whats going on???? what do u think i should do im so confused!!!

This isn't uncommon with the mini pill. I was having periods like every other month for the first six months I was on it. After that, I was usually having a period about every 35 days, but still had times where it would be twice a month occasionally. I was charting my cycles and it seemed like if I didn't ovulate, then I would start bleeding again two weeks into my cycle. If I did ovulate, then my period would come at a more normal time.

sounds somewhat normal from my experiences with the mini pill(Micronor)-I was on it for 8 month and absolutely hated it!! I had horrible periods.
