Babies: 9 - 12 Months

BC question...need advice.

I've been bfing DS for over 9 months now and am in the process of weaning.  I am due to start taking the "regular" birth control with hormone in it today and know that once I start taking that bfing DS on occassion or in the evenings can't happen anymore for safety reasons.

DH is fine if I don't take a prescription bc and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience/insight into this.  I haven't had a period since Dec. 07 and am a little nervous as to what my body is going to do and I am not at all excited about taking a pill every day again.

    I got the shot and I love it. You can BF while on the shot.

    eta: AND I've only had 1 pp period and it was in November.

  • Why do you need to switch to a different bcp? You could just stay on the progesterone only pill.  I have Mirena and bf for a year with no problems.  I still haven't had a real pp period.  I dread it.  I just completely weaned DD about 2-3 weeks ago (at 1 yr)

  • We just use condoms. ?BC in general makes me feel off.?
  • I use the NuvaRing, and my doctor said that because I was weaning, it was fine to use the ring and still breastfeed. We haven't had any issues, but we are also down to two to three feedings a day now.
