Now in the ranks of the breastfeeding and pregnant

[Spanannie]

Well, it took a cycle of Clomid to correct the luteal phase defect caused by
Zach's minimal nursing of twice a day, but I'm pregnant! and Zach's still
happily nursing when he wakes and when he goes to bed. My nipples are a
little sore when he starts out nursing, but it's not unbearable. My mom
asked me today what I'm going to do about Zach's nursing, since I'm having
another, and she said "What are you going to do, nurse them both (like it's
a joke or something)" and I said, I'll nurse as long as Zach wants to.

So, I've been a little concerned about breastfeeding's effects on
progesterone levels, but have been reassured on my other ngs and by my
current progesterone level. I am having it checked again tomorrow along
with another hCG test.

Congrats! Did you bf significantly while on Clomid? I
haven't decided what I'll do if we're ready to TTC#2 while
the Caterpillar is still nursing, but whether to try Clomid
will be an issue, I suspect.

i have the same sort of question. my doctor said that there was no way
she would prescribe clomid while i was nursing. my review of hale's was
fairly inconclusive. then clomid turned out not to be necessary, plus
my son didn't want to start nursing again. but if number three turns
out to be hard to conceive, i might try clomid again. and i want DD to
self wean.

We were down to nursing twice daily before Clomid. If I hadn't have been so
far along in our nursing relationship, I wouldn't have done the Clomid,
since it can effect milk supply (Clomid evidentally was used at some point
to dry up early milk supply).

My RE wouldn't have prescribed it, but my OB didn't mind. I didn't see any
effect on Z or my milk supply, but he is 16 mos old. Hale isn't concerned
about the drugs effect on the child, but is concerned about the effect on
supply. I wasn't worried about that, though. I think Z actually would suck
a dry one all day long---LOL.
