They have something called the mini pill it contains no estrogen and is safe while breastfeeding and will not decrease your production.Can you be on the pill when your nursing or is it bad for the baby? What is the best birth control when nursin?
After researching numerous types and brands of birth control... any pill is going to cause excess hormones to be excreted in your milk. The best option, as all of my doctors have agreed, is a non-ingestable. An instance of a non-ingestable would be Mirena or ParaGard.

Yes, you can be on the pill while breastfeeding. My doctor prescribed Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. It worked just fine and I never had any issues with it. I think IUD's are really great too. If you know you don't want any children for awhile, I'd look into that option.





Do not, I repeat, DO NOT rely on breastfeeding as a source of birth control. More women get pregnant while breast feeding than people realize.
If your breastfeeding you should get the mini pill!
you cant take the regular pill but you can take the mini pill
No because of the hormones. I heard it's meant to be natural contraception when you're nursing (not 100% though) It was a friend who told me this but I've never heard it before to be honest.


:-)
the mini pill i was on ortho micronor for breastfeeding, if your nursing your birth control options are very limited
yes u can be on the pill but im kinda one of those people that tries to avoid any medication just becasue i always think it can affect the baby but docs say u can
That's really something you gotta ask your doctor and be SURE about.
