I am almost positive that once you go on the regular pill, your milk will pretty much stop.
My dr started me on it right before I was sure I was ready to wean.

ITA. Also, I don't think regular birth control is safe while nursing because the hormones come through the milk. My OB would only prescribe the mini-pill until I had weaned.
