We are finally getting to longer stretches and I don't want to impact that. </p> <p>@ninja: That is good that it has been fine, this is what I'm hoping for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-control-and-milk-supply-1#post-797623 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:44:31 +0000 ninja 797623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am on the mini pill. Some have seen decreases in supply, but I have not had that problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-control-and-milk-supply-1#post-797619 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:44:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 797619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It negatively impacted my supply, but others have no problems at all. I noticed an increase in how often LO nursed within a couple of days after starting BC, so I stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-control-and-milk-supply-1#post-797601 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:41:04 +0000 ALV91711 797601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Yes, I'm EBF. I will keep an eye on the output, which he has never seemed to have a problem with. </p> <p>@edelweiss: That is good to hear that everything remained normal. </p> <p>The last thing I need is for my supply to decrease as this baby hates the bottle most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-control-and-milk-supply-1#post-797004 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:54:49 +0000 edelweiss 797004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>huh, my doctor didn't tell me this so i wasn't watching for a dip in my supply. if there was a change, it was not significant. my supply, while not abundant, seems fine and i believe his weight gain is on track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-control-and-milk-supply-1#post-796984 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:40:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 796984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it is very common that BCP can affect supply. Are you exclusively nursing? I would keep an eye on your babies weight gain and the number or dirty/wet diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-control-and-milk-supply-1#post-796951 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:14:29 +0000 ALV91711 796951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 months old. I just started back on birth control. My doctor told me that it could affect my milk supply. Has this happened to anyone? How will I know if my supply decreases? </p>
