Hello all,

My daughter sent me the link to this study showing a relationship between higher androgen levels and lower breastfeeding rates. Women with PCOS have been shown to have higher testosterone levels, if I read this right.

Good info to have. I have worked with mothers who have IGT and used progesterone during pregnancy to increase glandular tissue development. 

I wonder if this would be a reasonable treatment for all mothers who have high androgen levels before pregnancy and during pregnancy. (just thinking "out loud").
