Momofeme is a combined pill (estrogen and progestone) so probably should be avoided during breastfeeding. It will dry up your supply.]]> Sun, 04 Jul 2010 19:14:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1087093&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1087093 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1086971&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1086971 Author: GreaterisHe

Thanks jjands for the website recommendation...thats perfect.

Yep, It seems that any combination contraception is not deemed harmful to baby but you run a large risk of a decrease in milk supply.

Agree with M2M, There should be a little info pamphlet in the box that will say "Do not take if you are bf, have heart disease, etc" (just an example - not actual fact). ]]> Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:03:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1084350&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1084350 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1084223&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1084223 Author: jjands

hi there, you cannot take any pill that has oestrogen in it, only a mini pill, or progesterone only pill is safe to take while breastfeeding.]]> Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:59:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1083808&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1083808 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1083761&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1083761 Author: Nutella

There should be a flier in with the pills, read that and see if it says anything.
Also try ringing the manufacturer of the pill, they should definately be able to tell you.]]> Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:23:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1083759&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1083759 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1083736&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1083736 Author: E&L+1

You could try getting in touch with La Leche. They would have a good idea of what you can and can't take (contraceptive wise anyway).]]> Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:04:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1083736&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1083736 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34411&PID=1083661&title=contraception-while-breast-feeding#1083661 Author: GreaterisHe

Thanks for that.. I did call them last night and they told me they couldn't really give me an answer, although they didn't tell me I can't take it. They said to go talk to my doctor again.

My mind would be at rest if I knew there were other mums out there who took this pill while breastfeeding.

You can ring the healthline and ask about this. I am pretty sure they will either be able to put your mind at rest or say no don't take :-)

Hi all, I have a 7 month old baby who is still breast feed, was taking the mini pill all this time but experienced heaps of breakthrough bleeding, my doc has now put me onto monofeme (suppose to take first pill today).

Im not sure if I should take it or not, my doc seems to be so blazae about things and not sure I trust her so much.

Has anyone else taken monofeme while breastfeeding or any other normal contraception pill?
