Also I don't want to scare you but on the leaflet it says breathlessness is an emergency! And a sign of pulmonary embolism. So call someone ASAP!!

I've been on the mini pill for around 6yrs with no problems. Stopped it to ttc my youngest and went back on it after she was born. It is horrendous!! Gives me headaches, super moody, bloated, oh hates i have no interest in sex.

I've stopped it and waited a few months and tried again and exactly the same

Due to being borderline for a blood clotting disorder there isn't much I am allowed to take.

I would definitely call the GP as breathlessness doesn't sound good at all!

Have you ever considered Natural Family Planning? Its obviously not 100% against pregnancy but at least you're not putting chemicals into your body that are constantly not working for you xx

Personally I'm on the mini pill, first I years had no periods, but post baby I will have like a 3 week period every other month or so, dont really like the inconsistency but it's ok for me x

Stop taking it immediately if you've got breathlessness xx

I started taking progesterone only pill 2 months after I had my first son. I had non stop spotting 😕. This kind of pills was suitable while breastfeeding. The doctors told me to persevere, but there were no changes. I stopped it when my first son was 14 months old to get pregnant again. I am not going to take that pill anymore as it’s a nightmare with non stop bleeding. I’m going to choose a copper coil this time. Have you tried it? xx

I had no side affects from it at all. Been on the same one for about 8 years. I only came off it to conceive then went straight back on

First few months were great for me, completely stopped my period but then it started aggravating my migraines.
