Many other forms of contraception are appropriate for breastfeeding women. So, if you would like to take birth control pills while breastfeeding, ask your ob-gyne or your healthcare provider which pills suits you best.

Women who are breastfeeding are advise to use progestin-only pills because they do not affect breast milk.

I agree with you Lizzie, breastfeeding mom should not take oral contraceptives with estrogen and progestin because these hormones may decrease the production and quality of breast milk.

in addition to that, i don't think you still need to to take pills as you have mentioned earlier that you are still breastfeeding your baby, because breastfeeding is another form of preventing another pregnancy.

i agree with liz! maybe you can start taking pills by the time you decide to stop breastfeeding.

i see.. but i think it will only work if your breastfeeding your baby full time. in my case been mixing my baby with formula.

if that's the case then you really should take birth control pills. take the low dosed form of pills.

i kinda have the same situation with jenna. my problem now is that i haven't had my period for 2 months now since the birth of my child. could it be i'm pregnant?

if you weren't using BCP and you weren't breastfeeding then it is possible for you to get pregnant.have it check

i've done 2 pregnancy test last week but they all went negative.
is pregnancy test accurate?
what are some ways to know if you are pregnant?
i don't experienced any symptoms of pregnancy at all.

not all pregnant woman would experienced pregnancy symptoms and pregnancy test isn't accurate. it would be better if you consult your gyne about this.
