Have my second post partum period in 2.5 weeks. Started mini pill a week ago and ditched it on Monday when I got the second period. My supply is suffering since Monday - let down taking forever and I can tell he's not getting as muh (wanting to eat more frequently, I can pump less etc). How log will this last and what can I do? How will we endure this every month? My son is only 10w and I can't imagine taking a hit like this on a monthly basis while he is so young.

My supply was always lower for the first two days of my period and the day before bleeding. It always went back to normal when my cycle was over.

AF didn't come back til 4.5 months pp, but my supply always took a hit the week of AF. I took calc+mag vitamins, fenugreek tablets from GNC, and MMT in heavy doses to get pump enough for his daily intake. It went back to normal after AF week and I didn't take those supplements outside of AF week.

I'm on the mini-pill and when I'm on it I don't have a period (this happened when I was on it pre-ttc too) and during the 3rd week of pills my supply is always noticeably lower (I pump). It's so weird - especially since I'm not actually having my period, it's just the time when I should.

My period came back 5 months PP, and my supply was always a little wonky while it was happening. It was never terrible, though.
