Birth control pills: How fast did you notice a drop in supply?

I started Lessina this Sunday and I believe it's a combo pill and not a mini pill. I may just be overreacting since it's only been three days but I feel like my supply may be waning a bit. I pumped today and didn't get as much as I usually do. Baby is 7.5 weeks so I don't know that it's magically regulating this week or anything. I'm trying to see if maybe I should discontinue this method and call the doc or if it's just too soon to tell if that's what's going on? It's my first time nursing a baby (she's my third) so I'm a newbie in a lot of ways when it comes to this. :)

    Does your pill pack contain two different type of pills? If yes, it's a combo pill. If they are all the same, it's a progesterone only, mini pill.

    Just one color besides the week of placebo pills. Mmmmm I swear I googled it but maybe I read wrong.

    I would call and question it. It doesn't sound like a mini pill the way you are describing it. And if it isn't, it is not recommended as safe for BF.

    I started the progesterone only pill and I didn't think anything of a drop of supply until reading this. I had an oversupply in one breast which leaked out 2-3 oz every time I fed Lo on the other breast ( I know.. Score) and now I don't leak at all from that side or maybe an oz so maybe there is a drop in supply?

    I did discontinue it this week. My husband is going to push up the vasectomy and we will suffer thru comdoms for a few months until he gets the all clear. I felt like maybe I was crazy to have a drop that suddenly but didn't want to chance it. I also know of a person who had supply issues on the mini pill, so even if I switched I was worried it may not work out.

    I googled it, you were on a combo pill! That's why you had a drop . Definitely wasn't a progesterone only pill
