A member asked:

Is it safe to have contraceptive pills during lactating period,now i am 70 days after delivery.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: The estrogens and/or the progestins in oral contraceptive pills are not likely to harm your baby but may decrease a bit your milk production and composition even "70 days after delivery". If you are worried, you may choose to have a copper IUD instead and eliminate the concern regarding "hormones". ..and have a most effective method of pregnancy prevention for 10 years.
