Just some anecdotal info-- I'm a DES daughter as well, and never had supply
problems and nursed my son for nearly 3 1/2 years and my daughter for 4 1/2
years. I miscarried a couple of times (every other pregnancy) and while no
one would say that was related to the DES exposure, I guess I have to
wonder. The second time I'm 99% sure was due to a lack of progesterone.
Interesting question....
