Plan B while breastfeeding?

Yes, I'm a dumb ass. I'm 4w2d PP and DB and I had sex last night for the first time since we had our LO, unprotected. I dont know wtf we were thinking. I haven't had a period yet, but I know that doesn't matter, right? What are the effects of taking Plan B while breastfeeding? Will it affect my supply, will it affect my LO? Has anyone taken it before while BF'ing?

Please let me know, thanks!

Call your OB..
Ask them what they think..

I say call your doctor.

Yup I was planning on it... I was going to call her pedi also and see if she knows about the milk supply... But I'm assuming my OB would know better??

probably.. But IMO I wouldn't even chance it..
I can't even take sudafed without noticing a drop in milk production for a couple of days.. and that's safe to take!

I found this, but I'd probably still call the doc.
"Morning-After pills
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. See below for additional information on side effects related to lactation.

Is it even possible to become pregnant so soon?!   I wasn't thinking about protection at the time, we've both been so horny lol. He pulled out, I know that doesn't work because that's how our LO got here this time! lol

with BFing you are pretty much covered but it's still not 100%. If he pulled out then you are probably safe but I wouldn't use this method regularly! lol

No, I know! I go back for my 6 week PP checkup on the 24th and I get BC!! I'm thinking about the mini-pill... I'm scared of all that internal BC stuff being put inside of my coot!
