A member asked:

Started minipill & periods normally short but heavy. 1st period after started pill and l'm on 10th day but been light. do i need to be concerned.

Maybe: Since I do not know the name of the mini pill nor any other issues with your health condition, i can't say if it is normal or not. Please check with your md who gave you the pill who will know all the facts.
