Any advice? I just bought some when I ordered my Barleylife (from AIM) recently. |

I know if you want to go on oral contraceptives and still breast-feed, alot of OBGYN's recoomend taking a a progesterone only pill, commonly called the mini-pill. (Most common brand name is micronor). Regular OC's aren't recommended because they can interfer with nursing and milk supply. The progesterone mini-pills do have to be taken at the same time every day [much less margin for error], but won't affect your milk supply.
All that to say, because the mini-pill is recommended as an OC for nursing moms who want to continue nursing, I don't think Natural Progesterone Cream would harm your milk supply or be harmful. I have no idea if taking it for 14 days and then discontinuing would trigger you to have a period though. I'm thinking perhaps the frequent nursing might counter-act that to some extent?
