When I asked my doctor during my postnatal check-up for the cervical
cap she said I couldn't use it while I was breastfeeding - I don't
remember the reason ( I think it had something to do with the change
of the cervix during breastfeeding).
I only read in one book (don't remember which - it was almost three years
ago!) that the cervical cap wasn't o.k. while breastfeeding - all the others
recommended it as one option!
Any other experiences?
(Btw, I tried the mini-pill but had also the feeling that my milk-supply droppedthe moment I started taking it - I ended up with the diaphram and was - am -
very satisfied with it.)
