Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Where has my period gone?!?

I started inducing by pumping two weeks ago. I am now 7 days late and am not pregnant. Can nipple stimulation make your period go AWOL?

I switched to the accelerated protocol today because we hope to travel within the next month and while I've seen changes in my breasts, there's no milk.

Thank you for any advice you can give.

I never had period when I was pumping.

I've been without a period since I went on the protocol, aside from the (small) withdrawal bleed I had after going off the BCPs.

I breastfed my first daughter for 18 month and didn't have my period until I stopped.

I've been bf my second daughter for 8 months and haven't gotten it.

It is very normal to not get your period.

Did you start taking the domperidone before you started pumping? That is usually what makes the most difference in getting some milk.

Yes, I started Dom about two weeks ago and then added Yasmin yesterday.

If you added the Yasmin, you should stop pumping to let the breast tissue develop. Start pumping when you stop the bcp's.
