Can stress effect periods on mini pill?

So I've had a month of worry, waiting for my appointment at the breast surgery on thurs.I have a lump under nipple but the ultra sound just picked up normal breast tissue so the dr refered me to this department. Also my youngest started school this week and hes not settling so its upsetting me too.

Anyway been on the cerezette mini pill for years, I get daily brown discharge but noticed this week I've had more so wondering if its stress?

I also have recurrent thrush, the gp actually said to me last month to come for vaginal examination but get my breast appointments sorted first.

I feel so low right now, my smear test came through too to book an appointment but thinking probably best getting the vaginal examination for thrush done first.

  • Hi Pink39,

    This sounds like quite a lot to deal with so I understand it must be difficult and unsettling. It sounds like you have some clear next steps to take in terms of getting things checked out - so keep making sure you do this to get the answers you need.

    I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now, but I hope that your appointment tomorrow goes OK, and feel free to come back to the forum for support whenever you may need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
