Would there be any harm to a full milk supply? I would not want to do nything that would jeopardize this at this point. I have been nursing my adopted daughter since birth with a full supply and I was suggetsed by some one to use some natural progesterone to help with more regular ovulation to try to become pregnant. Any advice?

Are you still on the domperidone? Domperidone is contraindicated for pregnancy.
