AF and breastmilk supply  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Does anyone else experience a dip in their supply around the time of their AF?
My AF just came back 2 months ago (dd is 9 mos.) and this past AF I noticed a MAJOR dip in my supply from about 4 days before-3 days into AF. I supplement my diet with Calcium/Magnesium supplements full time anyways. (I've read that some women have luck if they add this supp during wk before AF.) I also did loads of oatmeal and fenugreek.
Does anyone else have this problem and what have you done to prevent/alleviate the pre-AF supply dip?

Hi, I just had my first post-pg period (my ds is 5.5mo) and my supply definately took a hit. I wasn't really expecting it but I did drink lots of Mother's Milk Tea to try to help. Some other moms said that they had the same thing happen. If you look back to the first week of Jan. you should find the post where we were talking about it.

Huge, huge dip for me that gets worse every month to the point where I fear having to supplement. Nothing helps me at all.
