I’ve been prescribed the combined pill and am breastfeeding. Everything on the NHS website and other reputable medical sites, say it’s fine from 6 week postpartum, but I know in the past, it’s been from 6 months postpartum as there was evidence it can reduce your milk supply. Anyone been on the combined pill and breastfed without any problems?

I should add, I’m 8 weeks postpartum (if it makes a difference!)

Which pill is it, I take one called zelleta from 6weeks pp, now coming up to 6months end and had no problems.

Rigevidon. I’ve read conflicting things and one GP said it’s fine - the other said should only be having mini pill and not combined.. very confusing!
