the mini pill. I have a few questions for you.

1. Did you and DH use another typs of protection while you were on it?

2. I know it isn't suppose to affect your supply, but did it?

3. How long were you on it?

4. Did you get pregnant while you were on it?

Re: If you take or have taken...

  • I'm currently on it.

    1.) None- we did wait a week or two to have sex after I went on it to try and make sure it was in my system. My MD told me it would be almost impossible to get pg again while EBF and on mini pill, even right away. I told him I've heard the horror stories and I'm not ready for another LO yet!

    2.) I didn't notice any change.

    3.) LO is 6 1/2 months old so I guess about 5 months.

    4.) Not yet, and hoping not to!

    5.) I don't feel like I've had any side effects from it. Yes, I would recommend!

    Took it after DD was born.

    1) Yes, condoms the first month as a backup.

    2) Yes!

    3) 2 months

    4) No

    5) Not if breastfeeding, sorry!

    This is interesting. You are the first person to say that your supply was affected by the mini-pill. I know  that the regular pill effects it. I am currently taking it. I have been for 1 week and have noticed a difference so I need to change to something else. I am a "pill girl".
