It lasted on and off for maybe a month; and now I haven’t had any bleeding since (baby is 5 months—so none for at least two months). So you may want to give it more time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combination-birth-control-pill-and-breastfeeding#post-2898989 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 20:51:54 +0000 DesertDreams88 2898989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally felt like EBF, low frequency, withdrawal, and condoms were enough BC for me after LO1. </p> <p>Felt the same way with LO2 for 9 months, then started the combo pill as I stopped nursing, and then and IUD at 1 year bc I was horrible about taking pills. Now after 9 months, I am getting my period every 3 weeks which sucks but nooooo babies. </p> <p>I will says, I am really bummed I gave up breastfeeding at 9 months / let my supply drop, so unless you really don't care about breastfeeding, I'd be wary of the combo pill. If I could go back I wouldn't have made the same decisions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combination-birth-control-pill-and-breastfeeding#post-2898972 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 18:03:08 +0000 MamaBear87 2898972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: I'd say if you're ok with another baby not taking anything would be fine. But if you aren't I'd for sure use birth control. I don't do hormonal bc so I feel you.<br /> Were done so my husband got a vasectomy but obviously that isn't an option if you want more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combination-birth-control-pill-and-breastfeeding#post-2898971 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 18:02:11 +0000 JennyPenny 2898971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: I had spotting/bleeding every 2 weeks on the mini pill as well. I quit and charted to avoid. My period was back to regular once I quit the pill. It worked well for me and hope it does for you if you go that route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combination-birth-control-pill-and-breastfeeding#post-2898968 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 17:42:05 +0000 cake2017 2898968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: I prefer a pill rather than IUD. I may just not take anything? I did his with my first and nothing happened u til I weaned at 18mo...ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combination-birth-control-pill-and-breastfeeding#post-2898967 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 17:41:00 +0000 cake2017 2898967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: lots of spotting/bleeding. I can’t have this weekly or every other week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combination-birth-control-pill-and-breastfeeding#post-2898950 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 15:38:52 +0000 MamaBear87 2898950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd look into an iud if you don't want to be on the mini pill. If your supply is already not fantastic I would imagine the combo pill would drop it some </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combination-birth-control-pill-and-breastfeeding#post-2898945 Tue, 08 Oct 2019 14:13:37 +0000 DesertDreams88 2898945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why do you want to quit the mini pill?
