Contraception

Has anyone used the contraceptive implant whilst breastfeeding? What was your experience? Did this have any affects on your milk supply?

I was told it shouldn't affect my supply as it's progesterone only (estrogen is what affects supply) so I've had mine for about a month or two and still going strong! my only problem was just that my arm was a little sore initially which made feeding a bit awkward but that's to be expected 🩷

I had this! No problem with my milk supply at all, just aching arm for a few days after having it in! I no longer have this though and had it for only 6 months so possibly didn’t feel many side effects!

Not implant- copper coil. Still going strong - 6months. Good supply

I’ve got the implant and am 12 weeks in. My boy has been growing very well and milk supply seems strong - there’s been some cluster feeding in the evenings on occasion, which is part of natural development. All good on the whole I’d say 😊
