DS is nearly 10 months. Still feeds A LOT and my darn period returned yesterday feeling a bit blueegghh.
I suffer from endo so obviously the longer they’re at bay the better. What contraception can you go on whilst breastfeeding?
I am going to book a doc appointment to discuss but just interested to hear what contraception others would recommend? X

You can't go on the combi pill but can take the mini pill. I believe you can also have implant and injections. That's what I was told after I had my baby. I went on the mini pill at 8 weeks after birth and am still on it now at 16 months. I stopped breastfeeding a little while ago but had no problems so carried on with the pill
