breastfeeding and combined pill

[jocie]

hi can anyone clarify for me. My ds2 is nearly 1 year and i want to go back on the pill as have quite heavy, painful periods.( suffered from endometriosis before pregnancies). With ds1 i stopped feeding at 1 year to go back on pill but would like to continue feeding ds2 as long as poss. We are only on 1 or 2 feeds a day. First thing in morn and mid afternoon(sometimes he doesnt want this one). He then has a bottle before bed.
I spoke to my doctor but he said it would prob refuce my supply but i don't know if thats right as im sure iv seen it written on here and kellymom that the supply thing isn't really an issue after 6 months. Can anyone clarify for me. Tiktok?

jocie, you can check and see what you think:

Just put combined pill into the search box.

Jocie, my doctor prescribed me the combined pill when my dd3 was 8 months old and my milk supply almost stopped completely after only four days of taking it , I was then prescribed the mini-pill and domperidone to boost milk supply, which thankfully worked. HTH

The recommendation is to go onto the progesterone only pill (mini pill) if breastfeeding. Alternatively you could consider a Mirena coil, that can be good in endometriosis too.
