It's been a month since I said to myself 'hmmm, yes, I'll go on this here minipill and give it 3 months before I decided if I'll stay on it or not'... and I might chuck it in already.  Those of you who've been on it before, if you had any side-effects, did they get worse after a month of use, better, or just stay much the same? 

Maybe I get more emotional because I had a baby 10 weeks ago, but I could swear my hormones had sorted themselves out from the newborn roller-coaster ride pretty well before I started taking the minipill, and now I'm crying at songs that remind me of happy moments, and can't walk past a dead hatchling bird on the street without getting all upset... I live in Palmy and it's friggin windy and there are a LOT of those to be found when I'm out on my walkies!!  And I was at my pre-preg weight a week after Ella was born.  Now I'm slowly but steadily gaining it, even though I'm not eating more junk (still eating it, don't get me wrong, but not more of it!) and am more active.  So I blame the minipill... for the extra pies (despite breastfeeding), the random tears, the yukky metallic taste in my mouth, and of course, the "breakthrough bleeding" (what a rip-off that was).  Pity I can't also blame it for the new lines under my eyes and flat hair.  Does this sound like anyone else?  And did it improve if you went off the minipill?  Friggin hate it but I don't like the alternatives either.  I'm trying to decide if it's worth another month or 2 before making up my mind...
