Anyone take mini pill while breastfeeding?

Question

What was your experience? I’ve had mine sitting in the drawer for over a month I’m too scared to take it because I’m scared it will dry up my milk or my supply will decrease (read too many horror stories online about it) and breastfeeding is important to me but boyfriend gets mad that I’m hesitant to take the pills..

Answer

Took the mini pill for almost 2 years...still nursing my 23 month old daughter. No supply issues.

Answer

Same exact thing here, so I’d like to see the comments. Although my boyfriend doesn’t get mad about it, he just won’t use condoms because he doesn’t like them...he’s asking for baby number #2 if you ask me..😒

Answer

I'm on the mini pill as well and haven't noticed any difference. I did get the depo shot 1st and then switched to the mini pill while it was still active so that might have helped as well.

Answer

No supply issues but make sure you take them at the exact same time and every day. I got pregnancy and had a miscarriage while on the mini pill. I have the copper iud now and highly recommend it.

Answer

I’m on week two- no change in my milk supply.

Answer

I have been taking the pill for 4 weeks now, and no decrease in supply.

Answer

I’m on it for 3 month now, no change in supply, no side effects, baby is doing well.

Answer

I’ve been on the pill since I had the baby.  My son is 10 1/2 Months and he is exclusively breastfed. No issues with my milk supply.

Answer

I take them. I had an oversupply before starting to take them, didn’t notice anything different after starting them. EBF for 5,5months now, I have pcos too so I shouldn’t typically have an oversupply in the first place.
