I'm glad everything is going well!

FWIW, I'd do some research on the mini pill. I got a script for it too, but never filled it b/c it can cause you to have a supply drop. I'd also heard it wasn't as effective as a regular BCP, so we took a different route. I'm not saying don't use it, just do your research if you haven't already. I would hate to see you have worked so hard and then lose it b/c of the pill, KWIM?

PS Totally jealous of that weight loss, girl!

he said that it shouldnt mess with my supply and i hope it dosnt! if it does and i quit taking it will my supply come back?

i think i might start charting again just to make sure we miss those fertile times. i guess with the mini pill i will still ovulate. i hate the thought of knowing the sperm can still get to the egg and it not having anywhere to implant.

he said i shouldnt get ovulation make until about the 3 month point but i will try to start charting monday morning.

brad has a cousin that had her baby in july and she put on the same amount that i did. when she say my belly pic she called and threatened me lol she came to visit friday and she just couldnt get over how much i lost and kept huging me in hopes she would rub her weight off on me lmfao

well...........I don't know....I was too chicken. And my dr said the same darned thing. I just saw stuff on it elsewhere. He wasn't the most pro-BF, KWIM? And sometimes I think they aren't as up to speed on that as they could be. You will soon learn that w/family doctors or pediatricians as well. I know you went over to KM -- you might ask them about this as well.

You can do things to boost supply, including fenugreek (worked for me), mother's milk tea....

Yay for the great checkup!!

I did the mother's milk tea and oatmeal, that worked for me but I had to drink a ton of that tea and the taste gets so old after a few weeks. GL, hope your supply is not affected. Are you still thinking about the mirena in the future?

CONGRATS on a very good appt. Glad to hear everything is healed.

Everyone reacts to the mini pill differently. I know many that it didn't effect and some that did. Also some people can O earlier than what your dr said. So be aware of that too. I know some that were on it and got full blown AF soon after starting it (or some even before getting on it) and of course some that didn't have it come months and months later.

WIth both boys I never went on anything, just condoms, ick but I didn't want anything else. I was exclusively bfing and AF came at 5/6 weeks pp. I remember with Isaac my AF came on, no other than, April 1st... yes on April Fools Day. Nice fool joke that was, ugh.
