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.
This happened to me today, when I started taking it.
No, in your first month on the pill you should still be careful and use a condom. you're not 100% safe yet.
Yes, just start the minipill within the seven day placebo or pill-free interval. Make sure that no more than seven days pass between the last active pill of the combination pill and the first pill of the minipill pack. You can start the new pill earlier, if you prefer.
If it is the first pack you have ever started, you must wait a month or use condoms for that month. If you continuously take the pill when you are supposed to and don't miss any pills, you can have sex right away.
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.
No. Taking the test too soon causes false negative.
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.
If you change to the pill immediately after the implant, you are not likely to be pregnant.
Yes :)
Yes, it's safe to continue using the birth control pill even while waiting for Jadelle to become effective.
If you change to the pill immediately after the implant, you are not likely to be pregnant.
Breakthrough bleeding is fairly common when you start using most hormonal contraceptives. If you are using a mini - progestin only pill (POP) you should call your doctor, having a period while taking mini pills can also mean you are ovulating.
