Hi!
I'm not sure if anyone can help me here but thought I would post and perhaps get some thoughts back.
DS is 21 months old and I've been on the mini pill since he was 2 months old. I am still breastfeeding him 2-3 a day and still taking the mini pill now. I got my first period the end of September (this year) and it lasted for 2 days and was more like spotting then a period so I assumed it was the dreaded breakthrough bleeding every mentions.
Then I got my period again the end of October and it lasted about a week, was fairly heavy, and was more like the periods I had when I wasn't on the pill at all.
Now I'm having ANOTHER period (only 11 or so days after the other one stopped) and this one seems lighter then what would be normal for me.
I saw my GP this morning as we were already there for DS as it turns out he has a double ear infection. She ran a pregnancy test which was negative and advised me to come back in 2 weeks time for a Pap Test - so I have scheduled that appointment.
She says most likely it is the hormones in the pill affecting me and not to worry and amazingly enough I'm not worried - just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?
DH and I were planning on trying for bub #2 in March or April next year anyway so I'm on my last 4 months of the mini pill but I sure hope that doesn't mean period problems for 4 months!
Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated!
