Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Script for pump

Hello everyone I just found out my insurance covers a pump and i've located the supplier, but I need a script from OB, I spoke with my regular OB for a script for the yasmin and she wouldn't do it, should I find a new doctor and try with them?

Any doctor shoudl be able to write the script... try a clinic too. My family doctor gave me the script.

Why wouldn't she do it? Did you also ask her to write the script for a breast pump?

you can order your yasmin from inhousepharmacy The place we also get our domperidone. No script required

I have the meds I just need a script for the pump so my insurance can pay, I have a call into my Family doctor so hopefully that will work, when I spoke with the lady at the supply store she said I needed a script from my OB.

Oh sorry I misunderstood. Didn't realize she gave you the script for the meds but not the pump? I am wondering why she wouldn't write the script for the pump? Does she know you are using the Yasmin to induce lactation? You don't need the script to be from your OB Your family doc can write one too. Honestly why would any of them NOT write you a script?

My OB wasn't very enthused about the idea, when I spoke with her about the protocols I also took her a copy and she called back a few days later saying she didn't know much about it and couldn't write the script for meds so ordered meds online and now she won't write script for pump, but I just received call from my family practice nurse and I will get script for pump from him, since he knows we were trying to adopt and in favor of what i'm doing(a male doctor can you believe it). So I will be getting my pump YEH!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT!! Yeah, any doctor should do for the script, she probably just said OB because that is who most mothers would be seeing right after a birth.

Congrats!

Yay Rochelle I am so glad your family doc is being helpful. My DD's pediatrician was super encouraging of me breastfeeding.
I get a little uptight when a doctor has the attitude that since they don't know much about something they aren't supportive. You gave her the info she should educate herself.

Oh and just me but I would most likely never go back to that doctor again.

I second that Laurie
