Mini-pill??....
Hey there everyone!!!
Haven't been on here in ages! :)
Seeing as DP and I have decided to wait a couple of years until TTC, I thought it would be best for me to go back onto some form of contraception - also because I think it may help with this horrible severe, recurring thrush problem I'm having!!
Question is - combined pill or mini-pill?? My cycles seem to have taken quite a while to get back to normal after stopping the combined pill last June. I think I O'd on my first cycle after stopping, but I havent been seeing much EWCM or anything the last few cycles. I thought the mini-pill would be good becuase it's a smaller amount of artificial hormones and maybe make it easier to TTC when we are ready........ experiences??
Also , will my GP prescribe it to me if I have no particular medical reason to want the mini-pill rather than the combined pill?? I just want it so my body is as close to normal as possible and so that it helps my natural cycle when I stop taking it to TTC.
Sorry about the long post - just after some advice!!
Thanx girls!! :) :)

I'm pretty sure your GP will prescribe it to you.
I think you still ovulate on the mini pill - infact I'm sure you do otherwise I wouldn't be here today talking to you :lol:
I don't know whether it would help with the thrush though - did you get it while you were on the pill last time?
Milo is 10 weeks old now, and I've had thrush since before I was pregnant.
I can't get rid of it (so far) and have just tried 2 lots of 3x diflucan tablets, followed by 3x nilstat tablets 3 times a day. And I still have thrush. :(
The Royal Womens Hospital in Melb have just given me some gentian violet to try. I'm going to see my GP on Monday to confirm againthat its thrush, which I know it is anyway, and thn will try the gentian.
If you get an outpatient appt at a large public hospital (especially one that has a breastfeeding day stay program - as they use GV for nipple thrush) and you've tried everything else they might be able to get some for you.
I hope it gets sorted for you soon.
