PTP.

I am looking for others' experiences with sudden milk-supply drop two weeks before postpartum resumption of menses. Unlike other moms I know, this supply drop is permanant and does not bounce back. My first thought is insulin resistance relating to onset of menses but I thought I would also ask here if anyone has other ideas.

From the mom...

"I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with our third child and eager to find
resources now who may be able to brainstorm some possible reasons behind
the sudden and extreme dip in supply I experience from ~2 weeks before the
onset of my first postpartum period (around 3-4 months pp) until baby has
started solids (around 7 months old, using BLW principles), as well as
possible solutions. "

This mom has help and support from LLL and has used a Lact-Aid to supplement at the breast for each of her children. She has no signs of IGT and no PCOS. "The conditions we know we are dealing with are hypothyroidism (treated
with Synthroid) and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (an autoimmune blood clotting
disorder). "

Thank-you!
