I didn't get on to BC (Mirena) until 9 months post-partum. I did notice a dip, but that was only because i got my period around the same time. My OB did tell me that IUD had minimal effect on supply.

I was on a progesterone pill that is about 10x the strength of the mini pill and I had no supply issues.

I took the mini pill, even though I really didn't want to, I didn't want an oops baby either. I didn't notice any drop in supply.
