Preferred birth control while breast feeding

AliandJimmy

My husband is currently deployed and so I haven't had to get back on birth control yet.  Just wondering which ones would have the least impact on my milk supply.  My midwife wants me to come back into the office in September to discuss our options before my hubby returns sometime in November.  I just want to go into our appointment with a little insight on what has worked best for others.  I have used Mirena in the past so I'm comfortable with IUD's.  Thanks in advance!

We are currently using LAM and will move to NFP when DS starts solids in a few weeks. Obviously this has no effect on milk supply. 

ABC methods that have little to no effect on supply include:

progesterone-only pill

copper IUD

condoms 

ETA: Implanon also. There's an article on KellyMom detailing all of the methods. Someone posted it yesterday.

We've always used a good 'ole condom.  But this time around, being as this is our last child, DH is getting nipped in January.

Ditto all of the above : )

We're using FAM and condoms as back-up.  The mini-pill affected my supply so hormonal birth control options are out for me.
