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
