Hi Chayn

I've not got long so this isn't the whole thing and I'm working from a 2004 
version so I'm not up to date either.

But the short 2004 answer was

".... FSH is a large molecular weight peptide (34,000 daltons) and is very 
unlikely to enter milk or be orally bioavailable to an infant.  However, it 
is not known if the administration of FSH and the subsequent maternal 
changes in estrogen and progesterone would alter the production of milk.  It 
is likely, since the onset of pregnancy is commonly followed by a decrease 
in milk production in most mothers.
...
L3
...
Pediatric concerns: None reported via milk.  FSH is very unlikely to 
penetrate milk, and it would not be orally bioavailable.  however, observe 
closely for reduced milk production..."

I hope that helps
