Some birth control can decrease your milk supply.

mini pill only and somtimes your period won't come back till you have completely weaned. which may be months (or years) down the track. enjoy not having it!

I went on the regular birth control pill with my oldest and that completely dried me out, I ended up completely quiting at 6 months due to that. While on it I got my period exactly like I should. The first one or two months it was a little weird, but after that it started to get back to normal.
This time around I went on the mini-pill, I've been spotting on and off for a few weeks now, I notice i spot the most in the morning after I go 9 hours with out pumping.
It depends on your body, but the regular pill I think you should get it back shortly after starting it, but for the mini-pill it's completely different for every women.

I've been on the mini pill since my daughter was about 6 months old. She's 8 months now, and I still haven't gotten my period back. I'm not missing it though. I haven't had any side effects while being on it though.

your milk supply may decrease or completely dry out if it is a full estrogen pill. It happens for some women. Also when you get your pill period your milk supply will decrease during this fake pill period
