Breastfeeding and IUD?

Question

I am planning on getting the Mirena IUD in January at my 6 week appointment. Im breastfeeding and was wondering if anybody else has a progesterone based IUD and is breastfeeding? I know its safe and isnt suppose to cause a drop in milk supply but i was wondering if anybody had any issues with their milk supply? Also how long have you had it do you still like it?

Answer

I had no issues related to supply. We breastfed for 2 years. 
Once she started to wean, though, I think my body started to reject the IUD once my cycle started back up. 
Most people I know with it have had no complaints, though.

Answer

I have this in, i’ve only had it in for 2 months tho i got it 8 weeks PP, I didn’t really notice a drop in supply, but it did make me bleed for a while but that’s stopped now and I have no complaints yet.
