Mini pill ?

I started taking the mini pill last month. I am still breastfeeding and haven't had my period since giving birth. I just thought once I started taking the pill it would start. I only have 4 pills left in this pack and still no period. I'm starting to get a little worried! Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Stacy,
The minipill is known for irregular bleeding, as are all progestin-only birth control methods. (The only hormonal methods approved for use during breastfeeding.) You can have lots of bleeding, irregular bleeding, or no bleeding and it is not an indication of pregnancy. Breastfeeding may also keep your period away. HTH.
How old is your daughter? All of your kids are so cute. I am breastfeeding my 7 month old son.

I didn't have my period the entire 2 years I was on the mini pill. (NOT ONCE!) Two days after I went off it I got my period!!

ditto....the mini pill can cause your periods to be irregular....that along with breastfeeding probably has your cycles a little off right now....
