I have been telling moms that if they are considering Depo-Provera, they
might consider trying the mini-pill for a month first to see if it affects
their milk supply.
With the pill, if supply decreases, they can simply stop taking it, but with
the Depo, it's in there for 3 months.  But when I mentioned this to one of
the OBs at the hospital, she said it wasn't a valid test since the two
contraceptives use different forms of progesterone.  Does anyone know
anything about this?  Any of you doctors or pharmacists?  I would hate to be
giving misinformation.  Thanks.  Miriam Levitt RN, IBCLC  <[log in to unmask]>
