I am trying to find birth control that works for me. I have a circculation problem and therefore can't use the pill. I am looking at the mini pill but this whole gains weight thing I am not very happy with. Some research says weight gain and some doesn't. I am 5 foot tall if I gain 5 lbs I look like a krispy kreme.

Also, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Please help I need info on the mini pill!

Mini Pill

Hello,

two months ago I had to switch from the regular combination pill to the "mini pill" due to high blood pressure.

I've been on the generic of micronor for almost 8 weeks and I have gained weight, my breasts have enlarged, and I haven't had a period since (am going to take a pregnancy test soon).

I'm not sure what advice to give you, but you can get information on the mini pill at www.Webmd.Org

best of luck. I hope you find some information. I'm also going to try and exercise more to see if it helps. Not sure what to do about the breast issue, though.
