Mini pill bleeding

angelsnight

Is anyone on Micronor or its generic?  I took Camilla for years before we TTC and never had a period.  I think maybe one time I had the tiniest bit of spotting.  I have been on Errin for about 4 months now and I'm bleeding like crazy.  I have a mini period (more than spotting but not enough for tampon for about 3 days) every other week.  But the other day I started bleeding as usual and this one is like a full period.  I'm even more pissed that for some reason tampons just aren't working for me right now.  I can't seem to get it in without still being able to feel it.  Right now I have on this huge granny pad and I'm miserable.

I see my doctor soon so I'll make sure it's normal, but can anyone else commiserate?

I'm on Errin. I had one period a few days after I started taking it at 6 weeks PP and nothing since (I EBF/pump at work). Sorry I'm no help here. If your pattern seems off to you I would ask your doc to switch your prescription.

Are you taking it at exactly the same time each day? I was on Camilla pre-TTC. If I took it more than 10min off from my "scheduled" time I had what seemed like AF a few days later.

Not to hijack, but it looks like congratulations are in order @mrslaurenanddan!

@kaking78‌ thanks! It's nervewracking, especially being due in March again. But hopefully the 3 ultrasounds we have in the next 5 weeks will all show a healthy brain, and we'll have uneventful last 20w.

@mrslaurenanddan, I would say I take it within 5-10 minutes of the same time every night.  I know it's a very time sensitive pill though, so that could be it.  I don't spend a ton of time on the loss board anymore, so I'm not sure if I've already said it but a huge congrats on your pregnancy.  Many T&P are with you in the next few weeks, I know how hard pgal is and especially as you near your loss milestone.  My angel was due in July but she was born sleeping in March, and my rainbow was born less than a week before her first angelversary so I know that is hard as well.  But in a way it took a terrible month and made it a happy one, so hopefully your rainbow can do the same thing for March for your family.  Big ((hugs)) mama!

@angelsnight‌ Weight, post partum pregnancy stuff, stress and timing can all cause breakthrough bleeding.

@farmboyswife, that's true.  I was just worried the bleeding could be a bad thing.  It's annoying, but I can deal as long as it doesn't mean something is wrong.

Thank you. That must have been so hard being due around her birthday.
