I have been on the mini pill for years. How will this affect me?

It is very difficult to tell if you are going through the menopause if you have been on the mini pill, as it will mask your own natural hormone levels.

However, many women do find that menopause symptoms do 'break through' at some point, and all you can do is really gauge by that.

I would see your doctor as they may be able to offer specific advice as to what you should do now.
