Can you get your period while on the minipill and breastfeeding?


I am 6 mo postpartum. I started spotting a little today. Is this just my period? Do I have to call my doctor?

Yes, I got my period exactly 3 months after my 2nd son was born, I was breastfeeding exclusively and on the mini pill. There is nothing wrong.

As a warning, you have to take the mini pill exactly the same time everyday. I just delivered my 3rd son conceived while on the mini pill :) I missed one took 2 and bam pregnant

This time I am breastfeeding and got the Mirena IUD

I got my period 3 months after I had my baby and I was breatfeeding. Usually you don't have a period while breastfeeding, but everyone is different. If you are concerned, call your Ob/Gyn.

you dont normally get your period while brestfeeding but everyone is different. if you are concerned in any way go and see a gp or even a nurse. I think you are normal though. dont worry.

probably just your period
