It has been a long time since I've posted on Lactnet.  Usually I can find my answers by searching archives, but this time I haven't come up with much.  I am hoping all of you can help me.

Without prejudgicing the sample, I was wondering if anyone has any information about the effect of Depo Provera on milk supply after supply has been established.  All the information that I have says it is best to wait a few weeks (3-6) before administering it.  The other wisdom is that it might be a good idea to use the progesterone only pill for a month or so to see if it has any effect on supply and then going to the injection if that works well.

The information I am looking for is:  Is there an effect on milk supply when the Depo is administered after the first 6 weeks?  Of course, documented research would be best, but I would appreciate anectdotal reports as well.

Thanks
