No, it's a triphasic birth control pill.

Ortho Tri-Cyclen and the "mini pill" are two DIFFERENT things. OTC contains estrogen. The "mini pill" does not. I believe that Micronor, Errin, Nor-QD, Ovrette, and Microval are examples of the "mini pill."
Are you looking for hormonal BC that is OK to take while breastfeeding?
It's recommended that any estrogen-containing contraceptive be avoided until baby is at least six months old AND after baby is well-established on solid foods.
Progestin-only contraceptives are the preferred choice for breastfeeding mothers when something hormonal is desired or necessary.
Combination contraceptives contain both progesterone and estrogen and come in several different forms:
The combination birth control pill (Alesse, Yasmin, Seasonale, Mircette, Loestrin, Lo/ovral, Demulen, Desogen, Nordette, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Triphasil, Norinyl, Ortho-Novum, Ovral, etc.)
the monthly injection (Lunelle)
the birth control patch (Ortho Evra)
the vaginal ring (NuvaRing).
Progestin-only contraceptives come in several different forms:
the progestin-only pill (POP) also called the "mini-pill" (Micronor, Errin, Nor-QD, Ovrette, Microval, etc)
the birth control injection (Depo Provera)
the progesterone-releasing IUD (Mirena, Progestasert)
the birth control implant (Norplant, Implanon).

a "mini" pill? It's a standard 7/7/7 pill like most others
