It is in the 'collective wisdom' of NMAA (Nursing Mothers' Association of
Australia) that there is anecdotal evidence that occasional mothers find
that their milk supplies are reduced by taking the 'mini-pill'
(progesterone-only). I know this has been discussed with regard to Depo
Provera on Lactnet before. Is this also an effect of the progesterone, or
is this different? (at risk of showing my relative ignorance of
contraceptives!!)
