A member asked:

Will starting the mini pill while i'm on my period reduce the chances of break through bleeding?i tried twice at other times in cycle & had bleeding

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could: The mini-pill is a Progesterone only bill. Breakthrough bleeding can happen. It usually takes 2-3 cycles for your cycle to adapt. However, if you miss a pill or take it late, you can have breakthrough bleeding. Unless you have contraindications to a combined estrogen/progesterone pill, it is a better option to prevent bleeding.
