Re: Mini Pill?
Its really not that it is smaller, they just contain one hormone, (progestin) instead of estrogen and progestin. They are a little less effective than the normal pill but are good for women who cant take both hormones. Hope that helps!

good question. I would imagine that it works like the reg pill and you obviously you can't be on the pill when your preg. So you have to let your body slowly adjust to being on the pill again. The pill, mini or not, should start working fully again in a month or two. I would suggest using a backup method til then or asking your doctor. :d
