i was put on the birth control pill called Camilla- it is a low progersterone pill- so it will not affect the milk supply- im on my 2nd month of the pill and i havent started my cycle this month- does anyone know if br___tfeeding affects your period?

b___stfeeding has caused me not to get my period. my son is 4 months and i have not seen it yet. however, i am not on bc pills, so i do not know about that.

I'm on birth control, and started my period the day after I started the pill. I'm on ortho-tricyclen.

Some women do not ovulate and do not get their period while b___stfeeding .

Im not on the pill but b___stfeeding doesn't affect your period at all. the only thing that i have very heavy cramping that last thru out the four days. but your period can affect your supply it lowers a bit because of all the hormone changes. just make sure you have enough liquids, and try to take it easy.

I b___stfed exclusively for the first 6 months, then started adding foods. I wasn't on any birth control, and didn't start my period till 8 minths when she was eating more and taking formula every now and then. My sister was 10 months before she got hers ( same feeding schedule)

Breastfeeding totally effects your period. The frequency of nursing is the key. With my daughter I didn't get my period for 15 months! Then when I did I only had it every 45th day ish. Gradually it got back to 28 days. My son is 5 months and I haven't had it yet! Yea for nursing!!
