Dear wise ones,

I am about to counsel a mother who conceived her first using Clomid and,
because of her history, is quite certain she will need to use Clomid again
now that she wishes to conceive a second time. Because of her age she does
not want to delay the conception efforts.

Her fertility specialist says she must go 2 months without breastfeeding
before they will start Clomid. She has now almost fully weaned her
12-month-old but one last feeding remains.

Can anyone shed light for me on the fertility doctor's reasoning - and
whether this mother has any hope of conceiving without dropping the last
feeding? Is it possible for instance that her hormone levels may have
changed enough from mostly weaning, that going two months while maintaining
one feeding would allow her to use Clomid effectively?

Thank you all.
April
