My baby is 3 months old and I recently started taking the minipill. My doc didn't mention it might dry me up but I've been on it for 3 wks and I'm dry almost. I stopped taking it. Will I start producing milk again???? ↓

Yes BC can dry your milk up.
Yes you can definitely continue to increase your supply. Make sure baby is nursing at every feeding. Every feeding she takes elesewhere is one less signal the body receives to make milk. If you need info regaurding increasing your supply just let me know.
Congratulations on breastfeeding!!! ↑
