Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Questions always questions

I'm just wondering how long after I stop BC pill should I get AF? My last pill was last sunday 7/30 Ive been pumping for a week. I'm not getting alot but enough that I am collecting it and freezing everyday. about 5ml a day maybe a little less. Is that good? Only 2 weeks from today until due date!!!! Also is it normal to be very moody after stoping bc? I have been very emotional. Crazy emotional!! Crying at the drop of a hat cranky the next minute. Maybe it is just because our baby is coming right around the corner.

Yes it is normal to have your emotions change. You just stopped adding hormones to your system. And it was an abrupt stop. It takes a little time to adjust. Keep pumping, if you stay on the 8 times a day plus once in the night routine your milk will build. Make sure you are staying hydrated. It was a couple weeks before I got af and then I didn't get it again for like 34 days (I have 25 day cycles) Some women don't see it again for quite awhile. Did you do the regular protocol? If so you make not see af for awhile. Remember it is possible to become pregnant without a period.

I did the accellerated for 39 days. I started pumping 3 wks before our baby is due!

Do you have a lact-aid? Sounds like you are doing great with your pumping. How exciting that your baby is almost here.

the lactation consultant at the hospital told me not to buy one right now that if I need one the hospital will give me one. I am sooo excited that my baby is almost here. Im getting butterflies!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
