Lisa,
I don't see how this implant can be related to the large amount of milk at first
and the decline afterwards. If the nerves are damaged there wouldn't have been
lots of milk in the first place I guess, not after the initial postpartum days
and up to 2,5 months. I would choose to work on the hormones and especially the
androgens. I'd like to have her see an endocrinologist again and check for
androgens and prolactine levels.
