I just got back from my doctors and he was quite useless about my options with birth control during breastfeeding. He says my only option, without reducing my breast milk - is alesse, and i've tried that stuff before, it and I did not get along. Are there not any other low estrogen options? What's this "tri cyclen lo" i've heard about? Will the normal pill jeopardize my milk supply that much?

Are there any other options anyone has tried? If he'll give me a normal pill, is it okay to try the patch? I don't want a depo shot since so many of my friends have bad side-effects from it, plus it causes major bone loss.

Any input would be appreciated :)
