Birth control and Breastfeeding ?

I was given the "mini pill" to start and I EP and so far haven't had a cycle. Do any of you know if I take the pill will it force the monthly action to start up again or if I keep pumping will it stay gone?

  • Same as PP. Af can stay away as long as she likes!

    I started the mini pill 12 weeks ago and so far no period.

    I just started my 3rd month on the mini pill and I EP....I have not had a period yet.
  • I don't know a lot about the mini-pill specifically, but if it is all active pills it shouldn't give you a "period" like when you're on traditional BCPs.  The period you get with a traditional BCP is actually caused by hormonal withdrawal during the week of sugar pills.  If you're getting a constant dose of hormones you're not going to have this.

    I have been on mini pill since LO was 2 weeks, and she is currently 16 1/2 weeks.  I spotted for 2 days twice, and that is it, otherwise, no period at all, which I am ok with, lol.
