Thanks MadB for the encouragement and the tip re the ABA podcast. I listened to it last night and found it to be very encouraging - particualarly the reminders that a pregnancy may impact on supply anyhow, and that I am not the only one on this BF and IVF journey.
I am wondering if anyone can comment on a possible time frame before noticing the impact of extra estrogen on supply? I started on 3 x 2mg Progynova today - nausea -, and start estrogen patches mid next week.....talk about OD
cheers - nice to have company on this latest IVF adventure...
CathT, when I started on the Prog DS was only feeding occasionally, so my supply was already very low. After a week there seemed to be nothing there . He didn't stop 'feeding' till around 10 weeks or so into the pregnancy.
Really hope it all works out for you!
DD is having at least 4 big feeds between 4pm in the arvo and 6am the next morning everyday...so I feel hopeful that I should maintain some supply......
I loved hearing that your son continued to "feed" - I can understand that well as DD is very purposeful and determined about feeding/sucking for comfort and I hope she would continue even through some variations in milk availability!!
