2 Questions about birth control
July 17, 2008
1. Exactly how effective is the mini-pill with exclusive breastfeeding, if taken as directed? I'm so terrified of getting pregnant again to soon...
2. I was told before that being on and off b/c from age 13 is one reason my body was so out of whack and why I had trouble concieving the first time around. I plan to start a combination pill at 6 months when Christian starts to eat some food as well as breastfeed... and then in about 1 1/2 years after that, we plan on trying to get pregnant again. Will the birth control make it difficult? And how long before planning to get pregnant should I stop the pill?
Thanks Doctors! :)
