Does taking clomid afftect breastmilk?

[MamaMaiasaura]

Have taken provera and the clomid 100mg on cd2-6 am now cd7. Ds2 has been fussing over breast and also wanting it on hand and crys if i put it away (even if he's not feeding. I am still making milk because i check when he pulls off milk is still coming out and it does with a quick squeeze. I dont feel as full now and he usually feeds 4 times a day but that can go up according to demand.

He is now 13 months old and i want to continue feeding till he is at least 2, but really as long as he wants. Am hoping to tandem feed if we are lucky enough to fall pregnant.

I feel such a shit and that by being greedy and wanting to have another baby I have messed up his milk and comfort

bumping please

Awen,

Sorry that I do not have any good advice regarding Clomid and breastfeeding. However, just wanted to say you are not being greedy wanting another child. Please do not think like that. Millions of women all over the world want more than one child or two children; it is completely natural.

You know how special it is to be lucky enough to have children but please do not think you are greedy for wanting more. This simply isn't true. Women who have experienced problems conceiving are no different from anyone else.

I hope some someone comes along who has good advice regarding the clomid and breastfeeding. (I certainly don't think you have messed up DS2 comfort; maybe it is coincidental?)In the meantime good luck with it all. I really hope to read you are pregnant sometime soon.

Kellymom has a little bit

Awen you are not a shit for wanting another baby; not at all.

Q6.

Another thought, have you had a look if there is anything about clomid and breastfeeding on the Breastfeeding Network website. This has some good information about drugs and bfing. Have never tried to post a link before but here goes... here

If not helpful, maybe contact one of the support lines? Sorry cannot be more help.

Multiple posts but just incase you think I was being a bit personal- 'women who experience problems concieving' = me!

Awen, it seems certain that clomid affects milk production

However, you can counter this by bf more often - would that be possible for you?

The downside is that increasing your milk production will affect your fertility.

A difficult dilemma....

Thank you for replys. Been checking as really want to continue feeding ds2 and also have another. Is catch 22 almost.

I am definately still making milk (the evidence squirted across lounge today ) But either my milk supply is different, tasting different or it is a complete coincidence.

Helms - it is so shitty having problems ttc. xx

Hi scorpio Hows baby? Cant beleive how time has flown.

Thanks tiktok. Was hoping you'd reply as you always have useful links. x

ack - sorry tiktok the link not working darn. Just tried to read it.

Scorpio - thanks for that link too. Is a good reference too. Right, i'll chill out a bit and try to stop stressing about it

Awen you have done brilliant bfeeding S. I am sure he will love a little bro or sis and it may not be wise to wait long if fertility is an issue

You are not being selfish, just normal biology.

As someone else already said, just because fertility is difficult doesnt mean you dont have the same feelings as other women, ie wanting more than one child.

I feel for you though, it is a difficult situation as you are clearly not as ready to wean your ds as i was to wean nathan at 11mo

thanks madmouse. Am so definately not ready to wean samuel and he wanting ot carry on too. I think if it really came to the crunch i would carry on and hope hat it wouldnt scupper any chance of another.

I know lots of people would say we've done well so far but i just dont want to stop yet.
