Mini pill users

I just filled a rx for micronor but haven't started taking it yet.  Has anyone noticed a decrease in supply with the mini pill?  If so, how much?  My supply is fine for bf'ing, but I'm not getting a whole lot while pumping; so I'm concerned the mini pill might interfere with my supply.  I'm taking fenugreek 3 times a day also.

    ps= I should mention I pump just enough to go to the gym 2x a week for 2 hours at a time, which is about 8 ounces total per week of pumping once, and sometimes twice a day.  There's not much left after my son is done eating! lol

    I didn't notice any real change when I started the mini pill.  I always had a pretty good supply, so if it did change slightly, I may not have noticed, but still - we're going strong & I've been on the mp for about 5 months now.

    I've been on the mini-pill for close to a year and I haven't had any supply issues.

    However, independent of taking the pill, my ability to pump seemed to decrease over time -- especially once my supply regulated at about three months. I replaced pump parts & made sure everything was in good working order, but eventually got to the point where pumping wasn't doing much. From that point, I just BF'd and used up my freezer stash when I needed to go out.?
