Dr. Chudacoff, Thank you for your quick response. No I'm not taking any birth control. We have use condoms for contraception. I personnally have not liked the side effects of the birth control pill, (ie. moodiness, bloating, and weight gain). You were right about the supplimentaion with breastfeeding. I'm currently nursing only in the evenings, nights, and mornings. (My job will not permit the time or place for me to pump). I would take a pill, if I knew I wouldn't have side effects.
