Can Daphne Pills Be Used If Not Breastfeeding?

i'm using daphne (lynestrenol) pills 3 months after i gave birth. it's recommended by my OB-gyne for breasfeeding moms. However, I stopped breastfeeding for 3 months now and I'm still using it. Is it still safe to use it even if I'm not breastfeeding anymore? will i get pregnant?

yes , it can be used as a birth control method even if you are not breast feeding. Staatically it is slightly less effective , you may prefer to change to standard combined oral contraceptives whic are most commonly used.
