Mini Pill

Hi All

I'm sure this has been covered a million times. I've been put on the mini pill - progesterone only- due to heavy periods.

I've been on it a month now and have for the first time in my life developed anxiety and this morning woke up just feeling incredibly blue. I'm normally so happy - I've got a manic busy life (3 boys under 5) but I enjoy it that way and love my husband to pieces! My sleep has gone to pot in the last 2 weeks due to the anxiety and the dr have me a very low grade sleeping pill last night so I had a solid 8 hours last night and feel fine in that respect.

Just been doing some research on the pill and found it says 34% more likely to be diagnosed with depression and anxiety on progesterone only pill?!!

Has anyone else felt like this? Should I come off the pill? Just want to feel myself again!!

I’ve got BPD , anti depressants worked for me for a while and then I’ve had to switch to the mini pill and feel like it’s cancelling out the good of the ADs and feel back to square one
Also bleeding for 3 weeks out of the month
Sucks ass!
