Clomid whilst breastfeeding

Hi - does anyone have any experience of taking clomid whilst breastfeeding? My 1yo only feeds once in the day, maybe twice, and then a few times in the night (night weaning has not been a success!).

id love to get pregnant again but my period hasn’t returned. Has anyone taken clomid whilst BF? Otherwise, anyone know it there is anything I can do to help get it back?

Sounds odd to do this but what you need is to take the progesterone only pill to encourage a withdrawal bleed. More info here: advancedfertility.com/2020/09/17/progesterone-withdrawal-test-progesterone-challenge-a-diagnostic-test-for-secondary-amenorrhea/

Thanks! Did you do this?

I did! It didn’t work though so I took the combined pill as I had low oestrogen. That worked and my periods started. (I think that’s correct anyhow, it was a while ago). But ask your GP for seven days of POP (progesterone only pill) and see how you get on. Perfectly fine to have whilst breastfeeding. Good luck!
