The mini pill

When there were manufacturing problems a while back I was give micronor but you nly have a 3 hour window with that not 12 like cerrazette ... Hence

I can deal with a 3 hour window, even a 1 hour window is fine How far are you now hun?

Did you notice any other side effects?

Yep! My wonderful doctor neglected to tell me that when changing my prescription

Apparently so did mine

When are you meant to bleed, after you start the new packet?!!

I have had the micronor until now. It is great if you are very ponctual when taking it, as if you miss the 3 hours gap to take it, you are not protected for a 7days.
I didn't notice any side effect, and been taking it just after the birth of my second ( used it also between the 2 pregnancy).
Recently I have been forgetting it quite a lot, despite having an alarm on my phone to remind me, so just for that, it is not for me anymore.

I had the mirena both times I was breastfeeding. I loved how it almost made af non-existant and can stay in for 5 years. Will definitely be getting another after this baby

why did my nurse say i couldnt have it when i was bf'ing grrrr

I had it fitted when Lottie was 6 months, and am still breastfeeding now. The main benefit to having it fitted before you start your periods again and when you're still breastfeeding is that you have a couple of days light spotting at the beginning and for me that was it!!

For me it was less painful then a smear, just a bit uncomfy. I took some ibruprofen an hour before my appointment. I'd definitely recommend it
