I was on the mini pill and didn't get my period until my child was nine months old. It has something to do with hormone levels caused by nursing. Your period will come back when you stop or decrease frequency of nursing F.Y.I. I was on the mini-pill, or POP (progesterone only)pill and nursing but still got pregnant. When my son was 10 weeks old, we had intercourse one time and were pregnant again! Maybe it was because I was only on it for about a month..Our boys are now 12 months apart..just barely! Some people do not have a cycle the whole time they breastfeed.

Making your period irregular. This does not mean you are ovulating - just the opposite you have two forces trying to do the same thing. Just stick with the plan you and your doctor worked out. Continue taking the pill whether you have a period or not.
