Hormonal issues causing low milk supply?

[Fedfedfedup]

Just wondering if anyone has experienced thyroid/PCOS/anything else and had it impact on their milk supply? I've been query PCOS but never properly diagnosed and have a family history of thyroid issues. I suffer from low moods, very irregular periods, dry skin, hair loss etc etc even before I fell pregnant. And now having major issues with milk supply. GP did a basic blood test some months back and I was told my thyroid was normal but I just want to get to the bottom of whatever is going on. Would love to know if anyone has had a similar experience.

I should add it took us a while to conceive DD

PCOS can defo cause low milk supply but it's not often talked about.

Lucy Ruddle is the queen of low supply/increasing supply! You want to look up her stuff about relaxation and mixed feeding.

Sorry, relactation. My phone doesn't think that's a word.

Both can have quite a severe impact on supply. There's a very knowledgable Facebook group called IGT and low milk supply support group, they have a list of bloodwork to request and the optimal levels of each result for breastfeeding, which are often different from the 'normal' lab levels.

Thanks @addler that's really helpful. I finally managed to convince my GP to check my thyroid levels again after the gatekeeper receptionist let me speak to him -_-
