Hi,
Progesterone only pill contains only progestin or progesterone is used to prevent unwanted pregnancies from unprotected sexual intercourses. Women who are breast feeding and women with contraindications to estrogen use like you, can easily take Progesterone only pill. Progesterone only pill works by stopping sperm reaching the eggs and stopping ovulation by thickening the mucus in the cervix. Progesterone only pills may cause prolonged or short periods, heavy or scanty bleeding during cycles, frequent menstruation or breakthrough bleeding or spotting between the periods etc., as their side effects.
These side effects are commonly found in the early stage of treatment with Progesterone only pills. They are mild as well as self limiting and usually go away with the passing of time as the body adjusts to them. But, if these side effects persist for long or bother you, then you should inform your doctor first for medical help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
