Mini pill

Anyone taking it and notice milk supply changes? I got a prescription for it but I'm kinda nervous about it affecting my supply right as I'm starting back to work in 2 weeks too.

    I've been on it for two months. No problems there for me. Although it messed with my cycle. I got a pp period two months after giving birth and haven't had one since. (Took a test definitely not pregnant again either.) but milk supply has stayed the same!

    I took it for a week and my milk took a dive for sure.  I stopped taking it, and had to take fenugreek to get it back to how it was.  I know a lot of people who took it and had no issues though.  Just try taking it and pay attention, and stop taking it right away if you notice a change.

    I've been on it for a little over month and haven't noticed any problem with my supply. I've been taking fenugreek the whole time, though, so that might have helped.

    My midwife said to only take it if AF hadnt showed up and was still BFing. She said once AF came back it would be significantly less effective and that I would probably have to switch bc. She also said if I chose to not BF that I would have to switch as well.

    I got a light period while on it. Didn't affect my supply. My period showed up the day of my brother's funeral so I'm sure stress played a role. No period since.

    I took it for just 5 days and supply took a dive and I started to get my period. It never came full force...1 day of very light bleeding. I quit taking it at day 5 when I was sure my supply had dropped. It took me about 2 weeks to get back to normal.

    I imagine its different for everyone. Take it and just pay close attention to things. If your supply dives then stop. Gl!

    My midwife told me some people get a period on it, some don't.  Just like some get their period while breastfeeding and some don't.

    I've been taking it for almost one month and no noticeable decrease. I am not taking fenugreek, etc either.

    I remember when I got my first pp period last time my supply took a dip and I wasn't on any birth control. I've heard that's quite common.

    I have the pills already but I'm nervous to start them as well. My OB didn't mention anything about no period so hopefully that's the case!

    I started on it a about a month and a half ago and yeah I do think it hurt my supply. I discussed it with DH and I'm gonna stop taking it in the hopes that my supply gets better.

    LO sstn and by 6am when she's up my boobs are no longer outrageous porn boobs, that's how I could tell my supply dipped
