        Hello, out there. I'm Terry Sipress, BFA,ICCE,IBCLC. I've been
reading the postings with fascination for several weeks now and loving it,
though I wish I had more time.  About me: I have a husband, Roger, who
supports me through my various and many endeavors; a son, Matthew who is a
dancer, singer, actor fresh off a tour and broadway run of Hello Dolly and
is soon to head off to summer stock in Hampton Beach(?),NH; and a daughter,
Abby who is a student at York College of PA. This year  it's a Mass
Communications major, last year it was music...who knows.
        To the point:I work as a childbirth educator (mostly) and LC in a
hospital clinic. During classes we review birth control methods and, per
everything I've found in the literature, discuss hormonal methods possibly
reducing milk supply. I usually present pros and cons and leave it that
anyone who really wants to use a hormonal method should at least wait until
6 week checkup when breastfeeding. Yesterday I spoke to one of my students
who delivered last week. Prior to delivery she'd decided on depo at the pp
checkup, but informed me that she'd had the shot in the hospital because the
Doctor told her it would help her milk come in! I have only seen reports to
the contrary, so is there something out there that I'm missing? If anyone
has any info on this, please reply. Fortunately, this mom did,in fact, have
an abundant supply. She told me she was glad she had her pump from her
firstborn because on day 3 she got engorged and pumped 4 oz. in 5 minutes.
TIA, Terry
