Hi Lactnetters
I am working with an MD who is trialing prolactin in a clinical trial/study, to see if it increases milk supply.
She is looking for women SPECIFICALLY with pituitary problems, prolactin deficiency, or women wanting to breastfeed who have not given birth (such as, adoptive mothers). They need to be able to be in the Boston area for about a week for the trial, and should be healthy women with previous pituitary surgery, radiation, or Sheehan?s syndrome and prolactin deficiency, who wish to breastfeed, aged 18-45yrs; who are not taking oral contraceptives, with no previous breast surgery. This study involves three 8 to 11hr admissions, 4 outpatient visits, administration of prolactin and blood draws; up to $120 stipend. (I will throw in here that the outcomes on other subjects so far are encouraging). The study has IRB approval, and is being conducted at Mass. General Hospital. If you know any women who would like to try this (must meet the criteria above - not just any mom with low supply) - please contact me by email at [log in to unmask]
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Anne
