Birth Control Pills and Supply

My son just turned 7mo.  I stopped pumping at work about 2 weeks ago, and planned to slowly begin weaning.  We did DE IVF for our son and hope to transfer another embryo (I'm 45, so time is a big factor) in Sept.  AF has not yet returned.  My OB/GYN needs to do a myriad of testing to refer me back to the RE.  He wants me to start BCP, but I'm afraid I will loose all my supply.  Not willing to stop BF completely, not sure if I should take BCP.  Can anyone tell me how BCP affected their supply?

    I took the mini pill for about 3 months without impact on my supply. I stopped taking it because my thyroid went out of whack despite the MDs telling me that wouldn't impact it.

    I also took the mini pill for 9 months without any effect on my supply. I had to stop because a month ago I started with dysfunctional bleeding and it only stopped when I quit the mini pill.
