I took the morning after pill and I have breast fed my baby?

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.

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.

Can I use emergency contraceptive pills if I am breastfeeding?

Yes, using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (like Plan B One-Step or Next Choice) once will probably not affect either the quantity or quality of the milk your breasts are producing. Although some hormones may be passed on through a mother’s breast milk, your child is not likely to experience any adverse effects from it. However, the label for ella (ulipristal acetate) states that nursing mothers should not use ella, because it is unknown whether there could be risk to the child

You need to go take a test. I was in your same situation when my daughter was born. Now I have two kids, 11 months apart. I breastfed and was on the mini pill. I took mine 100% on time everyday. and didn't have sex until i was on the pill. You have to remember that every woman is different, just like every pregnancy is different. So, it could or could not be that you are pregnant. But don't worry, even if it is true. You can handle it. It is hard, but doable.

Number 1: find another form of birth control if you must use it. Number 2: stop breast feeding your baby until all the medication is out of your system. Number 3: Always read any paperwork that comes with a medication you are going to take. You wouldn't give anything to your child until you read the warnings.
