Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Just started Ortho & Dom, headaches & Nausea...

Is this normal?

I started the BCP and took one dom tablet last night, when i woke up, my breasts were bigger. I took dom at breakfast and again at lunch. The headaches and nausea started, and continued throughout the day.

I weigh 105 lbs, am i taking too much dom perhaps for my size? OR is this just a shock to my system? I'm the type that does not take any pills at all, only homeopathic natural medicines, maybe this is a shock to my system, maybe I'll get used to it.

Baby due 0ctober 12,2008! so lots of time to prepare.

Advice please!!

I did not have any headaches or nausea with the bcp or dom. I weigh 150 though. Can you ask your doctor?

Update; My headaches went away after a week. The nausea took about about a week and a few days. I got in touch with Dr Newman, who responded immediately to my e-mail. He said that it is to be expected. I went in for acupuncture for the nausea and it worked! Just one session, i had daily nausea up until the moment i had acupuncture and then no more!
I also asked Dr.Newman about my size and the dom amount (3 pills 3 times a day) and he said it was not too much.

Hope this helps other women.
P.S. My breasts and some other parts of me are getting larger, it's fun and temporary!.
