no we arent TTC but I think it maybe affecting my milk supply so I am stopping it and see if it comes back up.
the past week or so some days I can barely get any milk out of my left boob which of course leaves Megan frustrated. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

huh maybe that is what happened for me... I couldn;t relate it to anything else, but would have been around the same time... I am not argguing tho, and slowly increasing the formula topups that Luke gets during the day... he's a big boy and it is hard enough to keep up ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

Hiya,
Just thought id let you know, i was on the mini-pill noriday and we conceived Eden! i took it religiously everynight (8pm) but somehow got pregnant, i couldnt go on any other pill either, but have been told by friends that there is the option of an IUD, so you may be able to try that? |

ummmmmmmmmmmm does everyone know that all minipills arnt as affective as the other pills? in other words they are only about 80% affective compared to the 90% of other pills.
Hey just do wat i do and dont have sex lol  ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

nah, noridays pretty reliable normally, about 93-94% affective, compared with the pill being 96-97%
but yup i agree nothing is 100% affective except no sex! but where is the fun in that? |

I'm sure I boosted my supply with the 'wonder fudge' when I felt it was dropping off a tad and Blair was still searching for more. Damn stuff is kinda moreish thou, and I had to resist eating too much. -------------

Hiya,
I have just had the same problem. I have gone off mini pill and bought a supplement called fenugreek. It's a herb and I think it's high in estrogen. I have had a breast reduction so have always topped up with formula anway but it seems to be working really well. I wish I had found it to start with! Aparently it's been around for a very long time. Anyone else tried it? |
