Ocella pill and breast feeding

Hi, I had my 6 week on Friday and the doctor told me it was fine to get back on Ocella birth control pill while breast feeding.  I did some research on my own and it seems that it can reduce supply.  Not making enough for this to happen.  Anyone else on the pill?

    I am taking Errin, the substitute for Micronor. Ive been taking it a week and haven't noticed a change in my supply at all. Maybe see if that's an option?

    Any hormonal bc has the possibility of reducing supply.  The mini-pill is pretty safe bfing-wise, but not as reliable as birth control goes.  We choose condoms and prayers while bfing. :)

    I'm on the minipill but only for 6 months. Then ill go back to seasonique. Like pp said the minipill isn't a tricky option for bc, so we'll be using back up as well.

    My OB initially offered me a low dose combo pill but I was concerned about decreasing supply too so I opted for the mini pill as well. I had also talked to a LC before switching pills to get their opinion, so you could always consult one before starting t
