    I'm not using it now as we're happy with condoms till we TTC again but I used Implanon before TTC last time and I found it fantastic. It is the same as the mini-pill but you don't have to remember to take pills at the same time every day (you have to be pretty precise with the mini-pill) and I didn't have a period the whole time. Loved it.

    I use depo provera. Its the 3 monthly injection. It is the only thing that is recommended for BFing as it doesn't affect your supply. (In the way of hormone types anyway)
    It doesn't effect your supply at all, but it does have other side effects. If you take the pill OK, then depo should be OK for you too.
