I received this email today and would to help this mom. I am stuck.
Suggestions please. (Permission to share with you happily granted.)
I apologize for writing about this. I've been waiting for the Tuesday
evening BF chat, but have not seen it up in a few weeks :-)
I had previously asked you if nausea, diarrhea and severe cramping (for us to
4-5 days) during the middle of a menstrual cycle is normal for Moms of
extended BF children. I believe you advised me that it is not uncommon and to see
my Gynecologist.
I have finally gone to see my Doc, after several months of suffering. I was
very discouraged, but not particularly surprised, by his advise. He
dismissed my concerns about hormone levels and the severity of my symptoms and told
me that as long as I was nursing, my hormone levels would be disturbed.
He advised me to see an Internist about the diarrhea and offered to prescribe
birth control pills. I feel that was done (he knows I am single and not
sexually active) in hopes of affecting my milk supply and causing my daughter to
wean or partially wean.
I have no plans of weaning my daughter, but would like to know if there is
anything that I can do to ease these symptoms. I have been almost
incapacitated by these symptoms each month.
Thanks so much for your time and any advice you could give me.
Thank you!
Jay Gordon
