I had my second baby 5 months ago and have since been on a progesterone only pill (Micronor) as I'm breastfeeding. I've never been on this type of pill before - I've always been on the combined pill before. Anyway, when I first started taking it I messed up and thought I was meant to get through a pack and then come off for a week to bleed like the previous pill I was on. When I didn't bleed I thought it was strange so mentioned it to my GP who told me that I shouldn't have come off to bleed, I should take it continuously. So since then I've been taking it correctly.
However, this evening my first post-baby period has started and I'm getting confused about this pill again. Am I meant to have a period on this pill or am I not meant to bleed at all? Do I keep on taking it throughout my period? It probably sounds really silly, but I just need to know that this is not a sign that this pill isn't working properly! We conceived our first baby while on the pill and I'm a bit paranoid about it happening again! I really REALLY don't want another baby!
