Birth control

What is everyone doing for birth control while breastfeeding? Was given Jencycla birth control pills, but haven’t started them yet because I’m nervous. Thoughts?? Reviews??

I’m getting the Skyla iud

Following

I’m going to take a progesterone-only birth control pill. I haven’t started it yet either so can’t give any reviews. But it’s what my midwife recommended for BC during breastfeeding since I didn’t want to do an IUD or anything that required a more invasive process. I started my period again at 4w PP so I really need to start taking it 😅😅

I started on a progesterone only birth control.. but it has completely killed my milk supply (even though i was told it wouldnt)... so dont really recommend doing that if u still want to breastfeed. Ive had to spend a lot of money on other breastmilk cuz i only produce about one bottles worth per day now.

@Courtney ugh I’m so sorry 😭 that’s honestly why I haven’t started mine yet. I’ve had no other complications or reasons to not trust my midwives recommendations, but I know everyone responds to things differently and I’m really nervous to introduce anything new to my body. Ugh this makes me so nervous.
