Any moms out there try the mini pill? Is it worth it ? I’ve read it can make your hair fall out, but I’m not sure how true that really is. I need some advice ! TIA

I’ve been on the mini pill for about 6 months and I’ve had no issues so far
I was on it after having my last baby since my ob said it was the only one that wouldn’t affect breastfeeding. I never had any issues with it
I was on it for about 8 months and then got pregnant with my 2nd baby 
I took it for a year with no issues.
I’ve been on the mini pill 7 months and no hair loss. If you do regular hormonal birth control you will not be able to maintain a milk supply. My supply is struggling now because I’ve gone back to work and don’t respond well to a pump but I was able to breastfeed and give breastmilk bottles for 6 months using the mini pill. No side effects or anything. But you have to be extra sure to take it at the same time every day and not skip any days, it’s not as foolproof as regular BC and you can get pregnant on it if you aren’t careful.
I took the mini pill for a little under 6 months after I had my daughter and she now has a little sister…
My gallbladder didn’t care for it, but didn’t have any other issues.
I got pregnant while on the mini pill. Its not a good choice for people on seizure or diabetic medication as I found out a little too late
Never had any issue with hair loss but I did have weight gain.
All chemical birth controls can make your hair fall out its listed in every single pamphlet you can request
I’ve been on it for several years. No issues. Before and after baby. No issues
I was on it for years before then went off of it, never had any hair loss. I’m back on it since having my baby in April and still no hair loss. My hair is very very long (I can sit on it)
Does anyone know if this interferes with ADHD medication or vise versa ?
