Hey, I think you can but that you would have to take a lower dose? Do you know what I mean?? I think that this is def. A question for the doc though because you dont wanna make a mistake.. And why are you so wanting to breastfed...Ask a doc sweets!!

Well I really would like to breast feed because of all of the additional health benefits for the baby but id be just as happy bottle feeding to so I am not going to stress anything. Also no prob mellisa you didn't offend me I promise. Lol yeah I will definitely just have to ask my doc. As for depro, dont think I wanna do that. I tried it twice and on both times, I blew up like a puffer fish lol and gained like 30 lbs in a month no joke. I already have to work my tail off just to stay in a certain shape that I am comfortable with. Well not anymore now lol. Thanks for all of your replies !!!! ~ erica.

Well I heard that breastfeeding actually stops fertility and that it's a safe method of birth control.I don't know how accurate it is, but I heard it on this show called american baby.It comes on mon-fri @ 8:30 on the discovery health channel.I breastfeed and plan to have sex again,but was also thinking about birth control.Hope this helps.~arica~

Thanks again! Hey gurlaj what part of mich r u from??

I think you can use the iud while breastfeeding I was reading something about it I will post it so you can read it....

Intrauterine devices (iuds) are one of the most commonly used methods of reversible birth control for women. When inserted into a woman's uterus, an iud helps to prevent pregnancy, including tubal implantation and ectopic pregnancy. The copper iud is a very effective, long-term method of birth control; only eight women out of 1,000 using copper iuds will become pregnant during the first year of use.
Unlike iuds that contain hormones, the copper iud has no effect on breastfeeding. The copper, which is released by the iud, interrupts your normal reproductive cycle, causing the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) to shed more frequently than normal. The most common side effects of using a copper iud include cramping and an increased risk of anaemia due to irregular, heavy menstrual bleeding. Such bleeding among iud users is not usually considered a problem. In fact, it indicates that the device is working; however, it should be reported to your gp.

Research shows that with the copper iud, breastfeeding mothers experience less pain during insertion and have lower removal rates due to bleeding or pain than non-lactating women.

Best wishes
