Deanna Tikhonov WHNP-BC breaks down what the mini pill is and how effective it is. Ever heard of the "mini pill" but not sure how it works? Wonder if it is as effective as the regular birth control pill? Recently had a baby and wonder why you were given a different birth control pill?

Today's video is an overview of the "mini pill" or progestin only pill. In this video I discuss why someone would start the mini pill and how it needs to be taken in order to be effective.

As a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner I am here to provide ladies with the education we need about our bodies, our birth control options, changes that occur in pregnancy, and everything there is in between that us females go through!

As a lady I get it! There is A LOT of information out on the internet and spread amongst friends & family that is not always true. Anecdotal information is commonly over generalized causing confusion and fear. I am here to help teach you about your body and empower you to play an active role in your health!
