So last week I went in for my 6 wk PP check up. I expressed interest in perhaps starting the minipill for BC. My DR told me that I should go ahead and just start up again on my old BC pill (OrthoTricyclen). I told him I still wanted to breast feed though and he said, "Oh well if your supply is already well established you won't have a problem. Also women on the minipill have breakthrough bleeding and you don't want that now DO YOU?" It totally appalled me! And my nurse is in the background saying, No don't take it! Go with the minipill! Needless to say I left without the BC prescription and I am now seriously considering a new dr.! I was very disappointed to say the least. It just saddens me that doctors today really aren't more BF advocates. Even my daughter's ped told me, If you need to give her formula, do it, don't beat yourself up over it. Like I was even considering it!!
