TAKE IT A DAY AT A TIME
The progestogen-only pill or mini pill is a contraceptive tablet containing a prgestogen that should be taken at the same time once a day. It can be a suitable option for those women who cannot take oestrogen.
You should take the pill at the same time each day, whether or not you have sex. Ask your doctor or nurse whether the combined pill is a suitable method of contraception for you based on your medical history, and if it is, which is the best type for you.
The long-term use of the pill doesn't affect your fertility. But once you've stopped taking the pill it may take some time for your body's natural hormones to go back to their normal levels.
Hormones
Yes. The hormone in the mini pill - progestogen – is released throughout the body.
Ease of Use
The pill must be taken at the same time every day, even if you don’t plan to have sex that day.
Your Period
The mini-pill can maintain the regularity of your cycle, and it may reduce bleeding.
