Birth control advice, need advice!

After I deliver, I'm looking into getting birth control- Implanon. I really want to breadfeed my baby, will I be able to breadfeed while on implanon? Have any mom's choose implanon & successfully breastfed their babies. Did it work for you best (prevented pregnacy) compared to other types of birth control like pills? And when is it the best time to be on it? Few weeks or months after baby is born? I'm ftm & new to this. Need advice. Thanks!

Im planning on using progestin only birth control.  If you plan to breastfeed you should avoid any birth control that has estrogen because it dries up milk production.  I personally plan to take the progestin only pill my dr did say there are some other option too. You should talk to your dr to see what they offer/recommend.
