Birthcontrol While Breastfeeding Posted: 12-10-07 15:35pm
I'm breastfeeding right now and I plan on
doing it as long as possible...what kind
of birth control can you take besides the
depo shot?

You can't take the depo shot when you are
breast feeding. Talk to your
doctor. You'll have to take something
low-dose.

You can take a shot that doesn't have
estrogen in it. I forgot what it's called,
but that's what I'm getting put on.

Yes you can have depo while breast feeding
(it is an all progesterone shot), it was
the only form I could have after my son
was born that was safe to nurse with. Yes
you can also get an all progesterone pill.
Talk to your dr they will know what you
can be on. Enjoy your new little one!

From some of the forums i have seem, alot
of the breast feeding moms are taking
Ortho Micronor, its a mini pill, if you
want to go for a pill. But like they said
i would talk to your dr and see what he
things is best for you.
