Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.
For the benefit of all our readers, the minipill, also known as the progestin-only birth control pill, is an oral contraceptive that contains the hormone progestin.
It's estimated that as many as 13 out of 100 women who use the minipill will get pregnant in a year of use. The failure rate of the minipill is thought to be higher than that of other hormonal contraceptive methods.
Irregular menstrual bleeding is one side effect of the minipill.
Anonymous, give your gynecologist's office a call and share what has been going on with your periods since mid-December.
