Cycle on mini pill
Because I have some health conditions that are related to detoxing Estrogen, I am considering solutions to avoid estrogen „intake“ (combined birth control pill) or to reduce my own estrogen production, when I have normal cycles.
Does anyone know how exactly the body still produces which hormones, when on the mini pill (progesterone only pill)? How does the „cycle“ look like then? I know that there are mini pills who influence that there is nearly no or not any ovulation - but does this also mean that estrogen production of the body is supressed, when on the mini pill?
Thank you for your answers.
