so i have been on the mini pill (errin) since about 8 wks PP. now DS is 15 mo and only nurses about 3 times a day so AF has come back. but really only when/if i miss my pill. if i am even a few hrs late i spot for weeks. its really irritating. i am still nursing, should i still be taking this pill even though i frequently spot and every now and then get my period (if i miss a day). id doesnt seem to have an effect on my supply but i am more wondering for my own health.
I don't feel comfortable taking hormonal birth control after seeing the effects that it had on my health. I was on depo at one point and regular BCP while not bfing. During bfing, I've only used NFP with condoms and in fact that's all we've used for the last 5 years because of the side effects of the pill. Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a good book to read if you want to learn about NFP, or just about how your body works in general. I think it should be standard reading for girls upon reaching puberty.
The minipill is known to cause spotting problems even when taken regularly.
(Funny thing... when I saw BCP the first thing I thought of was the Book of Common Prayer!)
