You should avoid it while breastfeeding as it may decrease milk output. Also, breastfeeding can cause absence of periods.

I pill is not a contraceptive.
It is an emergency contraceptive.
You use an emergency contraceptive because of some situations out of the blue. For routine (and planned) use you should take a regular Combination pill (21 days pack). Or you can use an Intrauterine device.

Exclusive breastfeeding can help you from not getting your periods or getting pregnant.
Do a UPT and see .
But if you need to use a pill OCP or Other non steroidal pills are better to take than I-pill.As I pill has its own disadvantages.
