What effected my supply was starting work 2 months later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-567644 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:27:42 +0000 MamaCate 567644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the minipill and the switched to the regular pill after dayweaning around 13 mos. I have now been on it for 6 weeks and still have enough supply for morning/evening/latenight sessions. LO seems satisfied and i still feel fuller during the day, so it hasnt dried me up yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-567625 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:16:23 +0000 LaineysMom 567625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, the mini pill didn't effect my supply.. or it didn't enough for me to notice it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-566895 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:24:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 566895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Yep. It was just one more layer of frustration in my BF efforts. We pushed through, but it has definitely been uphill the whole way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-566887 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:23:06 +0000 Bao 566887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: My OB told me the same thing! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-566884 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:22:38 +0000 Bao 566884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took the mini pill and it did affect my supply. However, I only gave it a chance for about 5 days because I was only 7 weeks PP and was FREAKING out that I would dry up and not be able to BF anymore. I think it's rare though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-566881 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:21:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 566881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely reduced my supply (I took the mini pill), so I stopped almost as soon as I started . . . even though my OB told me it shouldn't/wouldn't impact my supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-566878 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:20:43 +0000 autumnlove 566878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was really worried about it but my supply was not affected by the mini pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-milk-supply-diminish-after-going-on-birth-control#post-566871 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:19:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 566871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of birth control questions today! :)</p> <p>I definitely want to wean Olive. I would today if it were easy! I wouldn't mind holding onto the morning and evening feed, but I think with Olive it has to be all or nothing because she's a milk addict.</p> <p>So I'm wondering how much your milk supply was affected -- if at all -- when you went on birth control. Maybe if my milk dries up, Olive will want to wean! </p>
