KISSBOBO The Relationship Between Breastfeeding and Contraception: When breastfeeding, avoid contraceptive methods that contain estrogen, as it may reduce milk supply. Progestin-only contraceptives, IUDs, or condoms are preferable. Timing of Contraception: Even if menstruation hasn’t returned, ovulation can still occur postpartum. It's essential to start contraception within six weeks after giving birth, especially when resuming sexual activity. Body Recovery: If there are any complications or surgeries after childbirth, consult a doctor before opting for IUDs or other methods to ensure the body has fully recovered. Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Postpartum, especially during breastfeeding, menstrual cycles may be irregular. Natural family planning methods pose a higher risk in this scenario and should be used with caution. Personalized Contraception Plan: Every woman’s body is different. It’s advisable to consult with a doctor to create a personalized contraception plan that suits individual health conditions and family planning goals.
