Birth control question

Harley

I'm exclusively breastfeeding my baby, and will be using progestin only pill for birth control. I'm 9 days postpartum and my doctor said to go ahead and start taking them, but I've read online that starting the pill before baby is 6 weeks old can cause a drop in milk supply. Does anyone have any experiences they can share?
