Dear Lactnet Friends:

As a result of the lack of reports of trouble with milk supply after Depa
provera, there is no evidence published to balance the trend of starting
hormonal birth control as soon as the placenta is delivered.

Please report these cases. "Dr. Alison Steube and research colleagues
asking IBCLCs to use the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to
document occurrences. Dr Stuebe states: ” I want to encourage all of you to
file a voluntary report when you see a case of disrupted lactation
coincident with hormonal contraception. My sense is that maternal health
providers do not think to report low milk supply as an adverse event — and
probably don’t know about it, as mothers are not seen for follow-up after
their 6-week visit. Pediatric providers may not assess mom’s birth control
use, resulting in very few events being reported.”
