Anyone on the mini-pill and BF-ing?

I posted this to the Breastfeeding board, too. I got my mini-pills but the few reports of them tanking women's breastmilk supplies freaked me out, so I haven't started them yet. I just wondered if anyone is on them and still breastfeeding okay.

I know a lot of you are charting, etc., but I don't trust myself to do that. I was on the actual pill for 16 years without getting pregnant, so that's pretty much the method of BC I trust. TIA.

I've been on the mini pill for 2 months and have seen no change in my supply.

Same here. And my LO has always been a big eater, so she would definitely make it known if she weren't getting enough. She continues to gain 7 oz a week like clockwork, just like she did before I started the minipill.

I've been on them for just over a month now and haven't noticed any drop in supply - so far so good.

I haven't had any change in my supply.  I also took the mini-pill after I had my DS and I continued to BF him for 7 months with no issues.

I've been on them since DS was 8 weeks and I haven't seen a drop in supply.
