I gave birth to our third baby almost 6w ago. I feel quite certain that he is our last child.
As I suffer with migraines with aura, the only hormonal contraceptives available to me are either the mini pill or the Mirena coil. As I had a bad reaction to the combined pill in my early 20s (I'm 33yo now), I decided to see how the mini pill suits me for 3m, and possibly get a Mirena if it suits. After all, it's easier to stop taking a pill than having an IUS removed.
I am bottle-feeding my baby, but my periods have not yet returned. I started taking cerazette earlier today - when should the pill take full effect? Is it after 7 days? I forgot to ask the dr and couldn't make sense of a clear answer from the leaflet, as this is past days 21-28.
Has anyone switched from the mini pill to Mirena? How was it?
