AF and the mini pill

**Ca Plane Pour Moi** · February 19th, 2014, 05:00 PM

I didn't bleed on the minipill and didn't conceive. Even when I forgot to take them for a week (one of the reasons I stopped using it). Other friends had infrequent periods (ie every 3-4 months). Who also used it long-term and didn't conceive.

My mum got pregnant on them twice. One Ectopic and one of us kids (she won't say who)

I have stopped taking the mini pill because of the on/off bleeding. Drove me mad and I reckon the mini pill caused it because I haven't bled once since stopping it.
Can I ask why your on the mini pill? Are you bfing? If not, it's not likely to be a very effective contraceptive so maybe it's worth looking into something else.

Well, I have just stopped bfing actually in preparation of going back to work. So I will be changing pills now anyway!
