Are There Any Side Effects For Mini-pills?
Hi, I just started using the birth control pill this monday--which was also the first day of my period. It is now friday, I decided to switch to the mini-pill and am now wondering if there would be any side effects such as spotting or extending my period if I would stop taking them as of right now.
