Birth Control Pill (Errin Tablet, aka Mini Pill)
I just had my 5th child on June 13, 2007. I am still breastfeeding. With my last 3 children, my doctor has always given me the Errin Tablet for birth control. I know this is a progesterone only birth control pill. I have looked up info. on the web and one of the side effects is irregular bleeding. But I bleed a lot. On the web it seems like the irregular bleeding should be more like spotting and now full fledged bleeding all the time. But I do. Everytime I start bleeding, it's like I have a full period with the cramps, heavy bleeding, bloating, the whole 9 yards. Has anyone else taken this pill and if so, is this bleeding (in the amount) normal??? It's miserable to tell you the truth.
I started take errin 2days after my son was born (he's two months) and I have not had a period. Is that normal?
I also take the errin progesterone only birth control pill. I had my daughter almost a year ago. I started my period a month and a half after having her. Since ive been on these pills my periods have been heavy. Sometimes twice a month! Sex also causes me to bleed again for a few days to a week. Ive been told its not a strong enough pill. Sometimes im pretty miserable too.
