 What kind of birth control are you using while BF? 
my doctor told me that most bc pills will lower my milk supply and suggested condoms.
  what are you using for birth control?
  we don't like condoms. who does?

 Re: What kind of birth control are you using while BF? 
I had no problem with the mini pill. I started at 6 weeks and continued to BF until DS was 5 months. The only thin with the minipill is, it's super time sensitive, so you must make sure to take it at the same time every single day.

 Re: What kind of birth control are you using while BF? 
I was using the mini pill and my milk supply decreased by half( I pump at work so I can tell).  Once I got off of it my supply went back up but I know everyone is different.  As for birth control I just pray.  LOL

 Re: What kind of birth control are you using while BF? 
 
  I'm so afraid that I will get pregnant again! 
  We got pregnant with DS on our first month of "seeing what happens". We were going to start TTC the next month but were already pregnant.

 Re: What kind of birth control are you using while BF? 
I used the mini-pill. The only "issue" I had was in the beginning my AF was MIA for a few months but then I eventually became more regular.

 Re: What kind of birth control are you using while BF? 
My OB said she wouldn't prescribe me anything.  She said the low hormone kind still comes out in the breast milk, and there's a high surprise pregnancy rate with it.  Condoms it is.

 Re: What kind of birth control are you using while BF? 
I used the mini pilll with DD, didn't have a problem except remembering to take it a few times!  After the next one I plan on getting an IUD.
