mini pill?

Anyone taking the mini-pill? 

I didn't want to get back on any hormone BC, but after a little scare (or at least I am still hoping it is a scare!), I am thinking maybe I need a little more to ensure DD doesn't have a sibling too soon.

My OB wrote me an Rx for the mini pill, but I haven't filled it yet just b/c I was on the fence about whether to start it.  Did you have any side effects from taking it?  I have heard the hormones can change the taste of your milk & baby won't like it (that could be completely false/myth)...just curious what you have heard.

Hi there!  Like you, I was on the fence about going back on artificial hormones.  I was SO thankful that being on the BCP for so long didn't seem to affect my fertility when we were TTC that I told myself I'd never go back on it.    After filling the prescription, but not taking it right away, I decided to go back on it because my OB told me it was important not to get PG again for at least 1 year due to the healing process of my c/s.

I'm on Camila and didn't notice any side effects.  I've actually put on a little bit of weight, but I attribute that to the holidays and eating on the run rather than to the MP.  Starting the MP didn't seem to affect LO at all.

I haven't had a PP period yet, but my OB warned me that it could happen at anytime, without warning.  Just depends if you happen to ovulate (the MP isn't as effective at preventing ovulation).

I'm on Camilla too and have been for about 6 months. No side effects for me, and A nursed just fine through the transition. I am not a fan of taking the chemicals again, but it's a lot less stressful than worrying about getting pg before we're ready. :-)

I was on it too without any problems

no experience w/the mini pill but just wanted to say that your "scare" is most likely just a scare... with BFing your cycles will take a bit to get back to normal so i am pretty sure you're not PG my cycles are still >40 days right now...
