Women who
are unable to take estrogen containing
birth control pills or are not interested
in injectable progestin-only birth
control (Depo-Provera) may be good
candidates for the mini pill. This
includes if you are over 35 who smoke,
if you have a history of high blood
pressure, if you are at increased
risk forming blood clots, if you experience
vascular migraine headaches, and if
you are currently exclusively breastfeeding.
You
must be very motivated to take the
mini pill because if you are more
than 3 hours late in taking the mini
pill you must use a backup method
of birth control (such as condoms)
for the next 48 hours
