Re: birth control....
my ob put me on "camila" which is a progestin-only oral contraceptive. before i got pregnant i was on orthotricyclen and i liked it. camila is completely different then orthotricyclen because ya know how on otc you take the green pills while you're on your period, well on camila there are no green pills so its harder to realize when your period is going to come. and camila is good for women who are bf-ing. i'm bf-ing and i havent noticed a change in milk supply since i started taking the pill.
i will say this, the 1st day you take the camila pill like 2 days later you get your period.
