Who has tried the minipill?
Meaning progestin-only pills? Esp those with any sort of mental health issues…good or bad? I was on reg BC pills almost 10 years ago and they made my depression way worse and made me suicidal. Nervous to do any sort of hormonal BC again but my doctor claims the mini pill doesn’t have those sort of side effects. True? Any other pros or cons?
I am on the mini-pill bc of my high blood pressure. It works well for me. I know my doctor was just very insistent that you take it on time every time bc you do have a higher risk of pregnancy. The only issue I have is that it makes your period super irregular, but it did not increase my anxiety or depression. I was on regular hormonal birth control for 5 years previously. Hope this helps!
