is anyone on the mini pill for nursing moms? I went to the dr yesterday to talk about the lack of weight loss and she mentioned one thing that is probably working against me is the mini pill and said a big side effect is weight gain and while I haven't actually gained any weight, I have been working REALLY hard to just maintain... and it isn't like I don't have it to lose lol

she is also testing my blood to check the thyroid and a few other things but I am going to attempt to not take the pill for a few weeks and see if that helps at all?

    I hated the mini pill. I would get manic. I swear only a week out of a month was me feeling normal and my appetite was insane! See what other options for birth control you have available to you. I'd suggest getting off of that nasty stuff as soon as you're able.
