I'm on the mini pill, but i can't stop bleeding/ spotting. would i be able to switch to the injection? or will i still have the same problem?

Can happen: Progesterone only methods like the mini pill often cause breakthrough bleeding. The shot can too. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD has the highest chance of no periods. It also has less side effects and is more effective.
