Mini Pill - Can it be trusted?

[Tinsel]

I posted a thread about a week ago as I had 3 periods in a month but can it be trusted to actually prevent pregnancy at the moment? I tell DH to wear a condom but he says 'you're on the pill it will be fine' but I just don't feel right about it. What do you think?

Thanks Kate

I'm just wondering because I've had the breakthrough bleeding whether I can trust it to prevent pregnancy. I'm looking forward to getting on the "normal" pill when I am no longer BF.

unfortunately no help from me...but i hope it does my dr seemed fairly confident that it'd do the trick though?

I was on the mini pill when I fell pg with DS2.

I found I had to be extremely accurate with the timing of taking it and found out that a 3 hour difference was too long and would have breakthrough bleeding and eventually other consequesnces.
Not that I dont love DS2, but we found out I was pg the day after we'd decided to TTC.

I'm also on the minipill and I must admit sometimes I have my doubts about it cos I've come across a few stories on here about people getting pregnant while on it... But so far so good...

Just wondering what a breakthrough bleed is?
