Urrrgh I had this problem.
The nurse told me to give it a few months and it did get better and for most people it gets better completely.
I went back after 2 months and told her I wasn't happy and she put me on a different pill.
Good Luck!! xx

 Talk to your docor, but really your body may just need a month or so to sttle down to the new hormones it is getting.
Just make your doctor aware so that they can help assure you and know what's going on, but everything should be fine.

Don't worry. Go to the doctor and he will prescribe you with a different type of pill. It could also be that you have just started on it therefore your body is adjusting still.
One of my closest friends has that but sadly when she changed pills she had the same problem. But don't worry your GP will sort it out :)

 Yes "Perma-period" is very common with the mini-pill, it's a very annoying side effect to an otherwise good contraceptive.
Some people have said if you give it a couple of months to settle down, but personally I would suggest if you don't like it, speak to the nurse who can give you some other options.
