Okay Lisa, since you are in tutorial mode, I too would like to ask
something. :)

<<<According to Lawrence, women in general have more sensitive nipples
during ovulation, menstruation,  pregnancy and lactation; apparently
drops in related hormones may also lead to decreased sensitivity over
time, and may account for that on-again-off-again sensation of MER that
women experience in the later stages of lactation when babies nurse more
erratically. It would make sense to me that when the milk supply is
higher, it is because of more stimulation resulting in more circulating
hormones overall.>>>

Can the above somehow be related to the fact that some women report to
have problems with MER during ovulation and/or menstration? (it takes
longer before a MER occurs and less MERs occur anyway).
