Sorry if this is in the wrong place!

My baby is 14 weeks old.
I have been on the mini pill cerezette and just started my 3rd pack. Am not happy with it, i have had a permanent period for about 3 weeks now and its quite heavy still. Also after having my baby and before i started the pill i lost a fair bit of baby weight, soon after taking it i have now gained over a stone!! i am also bloated and look about 3 months pregnant :( i have decided i don't want to take it anymore as its also affecting my moods.
I don't want another baby for another 3 years at least and even then we are still undecided! the mirena coil wouldn't suit as i believe its basically the same ingredients as the mini pill? the combined pill never suited me either.
Any one have any ideas?! apart from never have sex again!! lol

there are 4 groups of mini-pills each with different active ingredients so if one doesnt suit you then you could try one from a different group. I tried femulen and micronor before settling on cerazette as that suited me better. I then went on to get the Mirena coil and have that just now.

Mirena has the same hormone as the Norgeston mini-pill so would not be the same as cerazette.

p.s. you also have the option of the non-hormonal coil
