Have read on Kellymom and FPA websites that combined pill is OK after 6mo but milk supply may drop. Anyone got any experience of this? DS2 just feeds morning and night now which I am very happy with, has 2 bottles of formula during day and ALOT of solids.
3 brands of mini-pill all made me anxious/depressed and hate condoms so would like to go back onto lovely, easy Marvelon as I was pre-DS1 over 3yrs ago. Plus since AF returned 2 months ago have had dreadful PMS which I've never had before and don't want again if poss.
I realise everyone's experiences are different but just wondered if this could be worth a go?

I prescribe the cocp to women BFing after 6 months and have not had anyone complain of decreased milk supply. Restarting marvelon shouldn't be a problem assuming that you've not developed any contraindications in the meantime.
