Mini- pill whilst bf?

Got my 6 week check today (even though ds is 7 weeks?!) I know the subject of contraception will come up.

Ive used the minipill before and i think its the best option for me. Had a look on kellysmom and that suggests that it's ok to take.

Does anyone on here take it? and have they had any problems with their milk supply because of it?

Even though my sex-life is non existant at the moment!! Think my husband is scared of breasts that aren't just there for his amusement

Hi there, no problems with milk supply and mini pill.

I had no problems either.

The mini pill is fine to take while breastfeeding - it is the oestrogen in the combined pill that can sometimes interfere with milk production but mini pill should have no impact. I took it while breatsfeeding and have had a contraceptive implant (same type of hormones as the mini pill) while breastfeeding too.
