Birth Control And Breast Feeding
Posted: 10-10-06 11:20am

Hey ladies! I have an appointment in a few weeks with my doc. To check me out from labour and landon will be 8 weeks old. Hehe, anyways, I was wondernig if its possible to be on a birth control while breast feeding. I heard u cant be on birth control ( like the pill) and breast feed at the same time. So just wanted to see wat you ladies know about it. Thanks Smile

I was told that as long as I was breast feeding I shouldn't be put on anything with hormones. I have the iud thingie up there and it's been good so far. I am not having sex right now but I wanted to be on something so that when I do find that someone I won't have to worry about birthcontrol. You know?

My doc gave me a prescription for pill that you can take while breastfeeding, however .I didn't get it filled and can't remember the name. So, .I do know there is something out there that is safe. She used it while breastfeeding her kids as well.
