hi, just wanted to know if tiredness/fatigue is a side effect of the mini pill as im having real problems with the 'normal' pill.

Hey Immimx- I'm on the minipill micronor...To be honest, I'm absolutely exhausted all the time at the moment, but not sure if it's down to the pill or just generally overdoing things. I've been wondering recently about coming off the pill for various reasons, but I really don't like other forms of BC...x

yeah ive been having a look, and the other hormonal types seem to have loads of side effects, which i think im quite suseptable to! the mini pill seems like it have less of these.
im pretty sure its the pill causing my tiredness and ive already been to the docs about it and changed pills. but still so tired... i notice it about an hour after i take a pill..
on my pill free week im fine!!!

Hi immimx! i am on micronor (mini pill) aswell. the 1st couple of weeks being on it i was extremely tired. i told the health visitor about my problem and she said ,to change the time in taking it. i now take it at 9pm and it does help x x (just remember that if you are changing the timing of your pill, use alternative precautions i.e. condoms) hope this helps hun

Yes I was also on the Minipill for a while. It made me bleed very heavily, have clots and I was never regular. I often felt nauseated, and I was very tired, and basically exhausted all the time. I was on it continuously, and I agree with mumofAngels - maybe try taking it later in the night, maybe you will wake up less tired than if you take it in the morning.
