Birth control

Hey ladies, I am 6 weeks postpartum and I started taking the progestin pills last week. I literally was only done bleeding from birth for a week and now for the past 3 days I’m getting a light period 😭 for anyone that has taken these pills what has your experience been like? I read that it can cause a lot of irregular bleeding and I’m really not into that at all. The only birth control I’ve ever been on was the hormone pill and I liked that because it worked and I got my periods on the same day every 4 weeks. I read online that I can actually have that pill now but it can lower milk production. Any experience with those? Any other birth control methods that might be a better option? Kind of scared of the implants and IUDs but I’d like to hear other opinions.

I also had the mini pill after I had my son! I didn’t notice my milk supply lowered and my acne came back really bad. I didn’t want the iud or the implant either. Honestly it’s going to take time for your body to get back to normal even if you take birth control or not. It can take a year for your period to go back to normal too. It will all be okay, you body will just need time to adjust.

I tried the mini-pill 3 months PP and on the like the 3rd or 4th day i started bleeding and it was super heavy so i stopped the pill lol. my OB said if baby is 6 months + the regular pill is fine

@Mia good to know thank you!

@Mariya yeah I guess that’s fair. I just got upset that my period came back so quick 😂
