Breakthrough bleeding on the mini pill is very common, especially if you don't take the pill at the same time everyday or miss a pill.
some women usually get their period a month to a couple months after stopping the mini pill. 1-3 months!!
the mini pill only contains progestin, while the other pills contain both estrogen and progestin. A popular mini pill brand is Micronor. Women with high blood pressure or predisposition to heart attacks and the like are usually prescribed the mini pill. Another major difference between POPs and Combination Pills is that the mini pill does not include a week of placebo pills; each mini pill contains the same dosage of progestin and must be taken continuously around the same time each day. If you are even three hours late taking the mini pill, your chances for pregnancy are drastically increased. In cases like that, it is recommended you use a back-up method in addition to continuing your pill regimin for at least 5 days. Taking combination pills at EXACTLY the same time each day is not as crucial.
A mini pill is different from the combination birth control pill. The mini pill only contains small amount of one hormone which prevents pregnancy from occurring and doesn't interfere with the working of your ovaries. The birth control pill contains progesterone which the mini pill doesn't and interferes in the working of your ovaries by preventing a egg being released and also preventing you from ovulation as well as protecting you from pregnancy.

If it is the 'mini-pill' it is fine to take whilst breastfeeding. The 'combined' pill will however affect you milk production.
No, you can't. Every pill is exactly the same on the minipill, and there are no placebo pills to skip.
what does it meam when you have a one day period that is very light while on the mini pill
no i used the mini pill for 1 week and we did it and i fell pregnant women be warned it isn't effective at all. i already have a baby and don't want another so im aborting this one and the dr said you can get an injection once every few months which protects you from falling pregnant if the hospitial perscribe the mini pill go to the medical clinic and get a second option.
I am not sure but i think about 2-4 hours
The minipill or progesterone only pill is designed to prevent pregnancy. If you take it before you know you're pregnant, it will not end or harm the pregnancy.
It depends on what pill you are using, you can get pregnant from missing just one of the "mini pills" others you would have to miss 3 or 4 -
