Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Actually an absolutely breastfeeding mother mostly gets natural contraception ( that's why the lactational amenorrhea ) But there are examples of ladies getting pregnant even if lactating.
It's good that you had taken Postinor -2 pills in time. It is an emergency contraceptive & prevents pregnancy, You don't have a chance to conceive.
Emergency contraceptives have high dose hormones . Repeated use may cause hormonal imbalance & problem in lactation too... so I would advice to follow regular contraceptive method that suits you ( IUD, hormonal contraceptive ).. with your doctor's advise
Thanks.
