I used the mini pill when my son was an infant (at 6 months...had so much milk that I wasn't tremendously concerned about supply issues). I have friends who had great success with this pill, but I got my period back a month or so after starting it, and I definately felt the middleschmertz (sp?) ovulation pain, so we figured I was fertile again. 
   
  Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
