What Birth Control Pill To Take When Lactating?

Hi! I gave birth last November 9 2013. I am thinking of taking pills for contraception but I do not know what to take. I am breastfeeding my child now and I do not know what pills to take so that it won't affect my supply of milk. I know I should take POP pills but I don't know what brands or examples of this particular type of pills there is. Please help.

Hello,

Progesterone only pill (like CERAZETTE etc) is usually taken during breast feeding or lactation period. It is highly effective against unwanted pregnancy during that period. Kindly, consult with your doctor for complete prescription. Hope, it helps for you.
