Im thinking of the mini pill, been suggested by my gp before, I know I can't take the combined pill and I don't want to wait ages for an appointment. You can get it online from pharmacies, does anyone do this? Thanks in advance.

I do, from Superdrug. My Dr wanted me to have the coil and keeps trying to push it rather than the pill so I got the pill online instead with no issues.

I order mine through Lloyd’s pharmacy online, it’s usually available to collect the same day, which is one of the reasons I do it this way, I’m always forgetting to re-order Blush

Can you order a specific pill? I’ve tried several combined pills but only one works for me without excessive breakthrough bleeds. Can I request that one?

If you are taking the pill without the GP check ups every six months, you need to check your blood pressure regularly. Advising this as someone who had to stop taking the pill as my blood pressure went up to 180/100, with no symptoms.

You can do it online but you arte meant to have reviews with the pill.

Yes of course, I forgot that part. Cheers June
