Heather

Heather is a progestin-only birth control pill (also known as the mini-pill) that contains norethindrone. It’s a great option for people who can’t or prefer not to take estrogen — like those who are breastfeeding, sensitive to hormones, or at higher risk for estrogen-related side effects. Heather helps prevent pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus and thinning the uterine lining, and sometimes stopping ovulation.

What makes Heather different from combination pills?
Heather only contains one hormone — progestin — unlike combination pills which contain both estrogen and progestin. That makes it a good choice for people who can’t take estrogen.
Yes. With mini-pills like Heather, timing is crucial. You should take it at the same time every day — even being a few hours late can increase your risk of pregnancy.
Yes! Heather is often recommended for breastfeeding parents because it doesn’t affect milk supply and is safe to use postpartum.

Answers to your birth control questions

Can Reversible Birth Control Impact Future Fertility?
Reversible methods like the pill, patch, or IUD are designed to prevent pregnancy temporarily — not permanently. Once you stop using them, your fertility typically returns to what’s normal for you. Most people can begin trying to conceive shortly after stopping birth control.
