Question

my baby is 8 months old and im still breast feeding , i havent got my period ever since i had him and my patner is been usind condoms but last night he didnt even though he pulled out on time do you think i still should take the morning pill?

Answer 1

No, you can't take the morning after pill while breast feeding. It's not even recommended to use birth control while nursing due to it can be excreted in the breast milk. I would consult your doctor before taking ANY medication while breast feeding. Good luck to you.

Answer 2

Birth control pills say right on the package not to use them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Those hormones will go straight to your baby through your breastmilk and may cause your milk supply to decrease.

The reason you haven't gotten your period is because breastfeeding is a natural birth control method. You do not ovulate when you breastfeed, so you do not need to worry about getting pregnant right now. It is very rare for a woman to get pregnant while she is still breastfeeding, especially after only 8 months. And of course, you say your partner pulled out in time...

If you really think you need a morning-after pill, talk to your doctor first and make sure it is safe and necessary for you to do so. I'd say the risk of you having gotten pregnant from that is very, very slim.

Answer 3

Maybe you should consider getting an IUD so you won't have to worry about this issue anymore.



Morning-after pills should be used only as a last resort (whether you are breastfeeding or not).

There are currently two types of products on the market packaged specifically as "morning-after pills:"

a combination pill containing estrogen and progestin (Preven, Ovral)
a progestin-only pill (Plan B).
Milk supply: Estrogen, in particular, has been linked to low milk supply in nursing moms. There may be a slight drop in milk supply a few days after taking the morning-after pill, but milk levels should rebound thereafter. See Increasing Low Milk Supply for additional info on increasing milk supply. Talk to your health care provider and/or lactation consultant about using an herb that increases milk supply (fenugreek, for example) to reduce any adverse effects on supply.

Safety: The morning after pill is considered compatible with breastfeeding, but should only be used rarely. Not the first choice for routine birth control, it should be used only as a last resort (whether breastfeeding or not). Both progestin and estrogen are considered compatible with breastfeeding by the AAP.

Answer 4

No you won't be in a position to be pregnant and not have the hormones happen on the being pregnant try on the well-being care provider. a house try would be incorrect however the lab outcomes wont be. The pill basically tells your physique it's time to have your era basically like your physique would in case you had your era besides. Your physique is basically tousled from having your new infant. i'd talk on your checklist related to the breast feeding area. something you put in your physique will pop out interior the milk So confirm out of your well-being care provider prescribing it that he/she is conscious. sturdy success!
