I agree....be very careful what you are asking for and getting. I just
spent a month trying to help a mom recover her milk supply after she
assured me the OB had prescribed the progestin only pill. When I finally
sought her medical record to verify the product, it was, indeed, an ocp
with a similar sounding name, but it was a combined ocp. When contacted,
the OB casually said "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't keep those two straight".
They are very different products!
