    hello, did I write this post??? very similar thing here. I think I got first 'short' cycle just before starting minipill, but last 3 have been 20 days, 18 days, 17 days. with periods up to 10 days.

    I don't know whats going on, whether it is pill or something else. trying to put my big girl pants on to get some blood tests or something.

    When that happened to me, the dr said the pill wasn't strong enough. I was put on a stronger one which fixed the problem.

    I had a similar thing happen way back when I went on the pill. Would you believe my first stopped period started the well bros my wedding and later till I got back from my honeymoon! Turned out I had the same issue as Tinks. Dr. Put me on a stronger pill (Dianne from memory) and I didn't have anymore issues :-)

    FWIW Im on Diane (well the cheap version Estelle /Brenda) and its the best - It has made me lose weight and I feel awesome, not hormonal and just "wrong" which I had felt for months before going on it.

    'Nutter that sounds thoroughly unsettling and annoying. No idea whatsoever but I second the idea of chatting to the doc. Hope she learns to behave herself again.

    Also just wanted to flag this for those who mentioned Dianne pill:

    I know it's just 'under review' but if you're taking it it'd be worth tracking the outcome of said review. Sucks muchly because I too have really benefited from that particular pill. '

    That's the problem for me though - my body has got right back in the swing of things on this pill and I feel more like myself than I have in months. I'm a bit worried what will happen if I change!
