Any girls on the pill/mini-pill?

~curiosity~ · Nov 27th, 2008, 14:03 PM

Just wondering, I'm on the mini-pill and wanted to know if anyone else gets paranoid all the time tht they are having pregnancy symptoms?
I think I analyse things way too much but as it messes up ur cycle and stuff it leaves me confused... especially when unusual things happen after having been on it for a long time (I'm on my 7th month).

I always end up doing tests and feeling stupid when its negative lol!

I'm on the pill. My Dr lets me take as many months as I want w/o AF (at least once a year). I never make it past a couple of months though, I think I mentally convince myself that I have a list of symptoms and eventually I use the week of placebos and then I find that I am not.

Um, am I a bit behind because I don't know what the mini-pill is...?

The mini-pill works on the same principle as the normal pill but instead of containing oestrogen and progesterone it only contains progesterone. (Some people like me can't take the full pill because of medical conditions -I used to get migraines). Its not quite as effective as the full pill but still about 98% if taken correctly. But unfortunately (and this is why I worry) it messes up your cycle as you take it right the way through with no breaks so sometimes u miss a period or have extra bleeding :/ hope this helped you!

I was on mini-pill and it stopped my periods... I was paranoid, I've come off it and I'm still paranoid!!! Lol! A lot less though. Now I don't have to worry as much about "What if I am pregnant, will the pill be hurting him/her??!! Eeeeeeeeh!!!"

Thanks for letting me know. I might have to go on it because the brands of The Pill I've tried so far make me sick, but I didn't know what it was.
