anyone taking birth control while breast feeding?

[fashionlover]

My doctor has recommended the mini pill. I have never in my life taken birth control but really do not want to get pregnant again. Has anyone tried the mini pill while breastfeeding?

Did you gain any weight on it?

Im not taking the mini pill but I have the paragard iud and have had no issues with it. It made my period come which made my supply dip for a couple of days but nothing all day clusterfeed sessions couldnt solve. Only had it in a month now but no weight difference either. Its non hormonal so I guess thats a plus as well as not having to remember to take it or deal with annoying doctors appointments. Its in for 10 years unless you want it removed before then.

I am taking the mini pill, not sure of the brand name. Working fine for me, not interfering with milk, and I'm not gaining any weight.

I have the implant (implanon) i kind of hate the idea of any hormones getting passed on to lo but even his pediatrician said that its such a small amount and the its a hormone he already naturally has in his body that it wont make a difference. Plus i simply CAN'T get pregnant again right now lol good luck!

I was on it for about 6 weeks. It was more to control bleeding off and on, all the time. It didn't help and my appetite went up and I put a few pounds on. I quit taking it a month ago and those few pounds came back off, well maybe 2 or 3 more to go. I quit taking it because the bleeding got worse. Now, I am not bleeding left and right.
