mini pill side effect?

[cookielucylou]

i've been on the mini pill for 3 weeks now. Since I started I have had headaches's and really bad mood swings-kind of like major pmt which i never usually get. Could there be side effects of the pill? I've been debating stop taking it just incase.

anyone?

i remember the dr told me headaches are a side effect of the pill
i guess mood swings are as well as the pill changes your hormones have u got an info leaflet in the box it may be more helpful than me lol
my only side effect is i havent had a period for the 2 months i've been taking it

Thanks for the reply
I havnt taken it today, thought I would try a while without it to see if it makes a difference.

I stopped taking my previous BC because i got terrible mood swings

but turns out the girl had given me a different BC than the doc had prescribed so i went back in and got a new one and so far it has been working good

...only this time my (.)(.) started growing....even my dad noticed

Same thing here , the headaches are awful . We are actually considering having another baby so I may not have to put up with it too long x

I was on Cerazette and although I personally didn't get headaches, I think they can be a side effect. I did get mood swings with it though and I did put on weight and had bad skin for a while.

I started taking the mini pill and it was awful, my mood swings were awful and I just felt terrible all the time. I stopped taking it and within a few days I felt myself again and so much better . . . it really didn't suit me at all!

I havnt taken this since and have felt much better so it obviously wasnt agreeing with me. Dont know what else to use now though

What mini pill did you take? Perhaps you could try a different brand. I switched from Cerazette to Femulen at one point because Cerazette was making my skin bad, and found that Femulen didn't. Although Femulen did make my periods even heavier.

I tried the mini pill after the birth of my son (8 months ago) it was awful the doctor had said I may suffer occasional bleeding, I bleed constantley pretty much with a slight stop of about 2 days
I went back and had a coil fitted, so far so good. Been in since August, I like it because I don't have to worry about taking a pill every day and it decreases periods flow and can stop them but doesn't stop my fertility
Might be worth a thought!

I started bleeding shortly after starting the pill too, I just assumed it was a period but it went on a lot longer and a lot heavier than my periods usually are.

Yep I had my first 'period' for six months when I started taking the minipill.
