And they're called mini-pills because they're not as effective as regular pills. You don't need them to be when you're breastfeeding. You wouldn't want to take them instead of normal BC pills.
No, before I started taking the pills I was having regular periods every month, which is part of the reason why I started taking them in the first place, since having periods was a sign that I was ovulating despite the breastfeeding. The literature that came with the pills compared them with regular BCPs and they're only like 3% less effective.
