Attempting some v unscientific research here but curious to know whether others have had any / all of the following AND particular difficulties with / failure to (exclusively) breastfeed for at least 6 months:
A) IVF / ICSI to conceive
B) polycystic ovaries / PCOS
C) prolonged labour
D) significant postpartum haemorrhage
E) a history of fertility problems, (regardless of diagnosis and eventual mode of conception)
Please state which of the above and how long, if at all, you managed to (exclusively) breastfeed for.
Anecdotal evidence gathered from speaking to BF counsellors about my own BF experience found opinion divided. Some existing research links each of the above individually to BFing difficulties but I can't find anything on more than two or more of these factors combined.
I'm sure this is an area ripe for proper research but I'm not an academic so just being nosy for now. Thanks!

Do these factors negatively affect breastfeeding...?
