| The minipill (progestogen-only Pill, or POP)
If you enjoy a good sex life, you almost certainly want to protect yourself against unwanted pregnancy. The minipill can do that for you. But you have to remember to take it every single day of the year. No breaks at all - even when you're on your period. It's not quite as effective as the ordinary Pill, but it's a good deal freer of side effects. And it's particularly useful for some groups of women who cannot take the Pill - for instance, new mums who are breast-feeding. However, it does have some disadvantages, and we'll tell you about them in a moment. What is the minipill? There's a lot of confusion about this name. Many women don't understand it - and, regrettably, even a few doctors have got the wrong end of the stick about it! The minipill is not just a low-dose version of the Pill.

A “miracle child from nowhere" born to a Stafford mother who has only half an ovary was revealed today at Stafford's maternity unit. Tiny Alfie Siviter is the baby nobody ever thought could be born. His mother Trudi Siviter, aged 39, was told by doctors 20 years ago she could never have children and, after two ectopic pregnancies, several attempts at IVF fertility treatment and the removal of all but half of one ovary, she had resigned herself to having a hysterectomy. But last July – three months before she was due to have the hysterectomy – she was “shocked, but happy", to find she was pregnant. Despite having only half an ovary left, which was itself not functioning properly, Alfie was born naturally at Staffordshire General Hospital's maternity unit eight months into the pregnancy on December 7.
