Started the mini pill..

So as another step toward my relactation I saw my OB and we decided to switch me from the regular pill to the mini pill so the estrogen wouldn't potentially hinder my attempt. I'm on my second week of it now, is it normal to feel so weird?? I feel crampy. And I feel, basically, like crap. Will this wear off or is this what I have to deal with now? I'm mostly hoping my ovarian cysts don't come back (that's why I went back on my old BC in the first place). If they do I may have to switch back and give up my relactation, which is actually showing signs of progress!

    I started the mini pill at 6 weeks pp and never had any of those issues. I was on it prior to getting pregnant and didn't have those issues either. I would talk to your dr if it doesn't go away soon.

    The mini pill was definitely strange for me...I was super cranky and just didn't feel right.

    I hated the mini pill, horrible mood swings and I felt an overall sense of malaise. I refilled it once and asked myself what the hell am I thinking? The hubs wasn't ecstatic but he understood.

    Also, **TMI** I woke up with a weird dark red discharge? I'll definitely call my OB if it keeps up. Maybe it's just my body adjusting to it, but if it keeps up I may have to reconsider my options.

    I also started it, about two weeks ago. I HATE it. I've gained 8 lbs and my face broke out. I quit taking it tonight.

    I hated the mini pill made me spot for an extra 4 weeks after i started taking it. I always got cramps and was always exhausted.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one, but I'm sorry you've all had such issues with it! Ugh, the cramps are probably the worst part for me. I'm going to wait and see what happens in the next week or so. I'm hoping it improves! I need it to. I don't like other kinds of BC.
