Progesterone only pill for someone no longer breastfeeding?!


Question:

Progesterone only pill for someone no longer breastfeeding?

My doctor prescribed a progesterone only pill after I gave birth because I chose to breastfeed. Nevertheless, I only breasfed for 2 months after I had my baby girl. Now I am still on the same pill 4.5 months later. I was wondering if this is something that I need to change, move on to a combination pill since my daughter is strictly formula-fed. So far, so good. I don't have my annual with my ob/gyn until October. I've just never really thought about that until today and now it is bothering me a bit as far as getting pregnant again knowing the hormone does is lower in these pills. Thanks in advance for all the help :)


Answers:

I would switch to the combination pills, they're more effective when you're not breastfeeding anymore. If you've had a pap in the last year, your doc. should be able to call in a new prescription for you without an appointment. GL!
