Is there any possibility of looking at half-lives to see if timing of
meds and breastfeeding would reduce the amount of this in her milk?
What does Tom Hale have to say? Is someone willing to do blood levels
on her? Is there ANY possibility that these substances may have effect
on milk volumes, milk fat, let-down etc or any OTHER thing that can
cause baby's to be fussier (as in over supply, etc.)

Subject: Question about Pregnenolone/DHEA
Hi everyone,
Several weeks ago I asked some questions about bio-identical hormones to
treat low thyroid. The mom I am working with went on said hormones and
also a pregneolone/DHEA supplement: We have a potential problem -
please read her note to me. I am asking for any information as I
haven't been able to find any on my own and I'd really like to be able
to prevent an early weaning if possible. Thanks in advance!

hi jaye -
i wanted to give you an update on the pregnenolone/DHEA supplement i'm
taking and it's possible effects on Evie's sleep. i spoke with her
pediatrician late friday after talking with you, and he said of all the
meds i'm taking that would be the likely culprit (DHEA is a big energy
booster and can make a "normal" person fidgety and irritable). he
proposed i stop taking it for a week, see if anything improves, and if
so, start taking it again to verify it's the meds and not a coincidence.
results: i stopped, things returned to normal, i started again monday
and last night and today have sucked. so i won't take it again until i
have a chance to discuss weaning with you. those 2 weeks i was on it was
almost heavenly. i slept well and actually woke up refreshed. it made a
huge difference in my mood and ability to get outside and be active with
Evelyn.
i'm not sure if i'm strong enough to cut her off cold turkey, so i was
curious about my options and your opinion. you mentioned a supplement to
stop lactation? should i call you or would you like to meet for coffee
to talk? AND, is this type of information free or considered a paid
consultation? i don't want to take advantage of you or your knowledge!
