i have also just got a new prescription to move from the minipill to the combined, as DD has self-weaned. It is less reliable, so if you are not wanting another pregnancy you should discuss your options with your gp or gyno.

Only thing is i have to wait until my next period to start the new pill (i just had my first one since DD was born 15 months ago, which is pretty good going).

Does anyone who is on the minipill know if you get your periods regularly, or does it affect it? Not that i have any idea what is regular for me.. this is the first time in almost 4 years i haven't been pregnant or breastfeeding.
