Currently thought not to affect supply, but it isn't licenced for use
before 21 days postpartum so I doubt there's much (if any) data on that.
<http://www.fsrh.org/pdfs/CEUGuidancePostnatal09.pdf> has the UK
recommendations on postpartum contraceptive use, which includes a couple
of references on Implanon and breastfeeding.
