Dear wise ones
 
A friend of mine is trying to conceive with Clomid.  She  told me tonight 
that the literature says that it causes low milk  production.  She is afraid this 
means she won't be able to breast  feed.  I am looking up info but so far 
have not been able to find the  answer.  My common sense side of the brain tells 
me that the hormones in  the Clomid would cause a decrease in an already 
lactating woman, but not months  later after a normal birth.  Do any of you have 
any knowledge on this, or  can you point me in the right direction.  I am having 
trouble looking on  the archives, (won't take my user ID for some reason).
 
Just FYI, she conceived her last baby on Clomid, and gave  birth in July, at 
24.6 weeks.  The baby died a week later.  She  was able to pump an ounce of 
milk when it came in one time, and after that  nothing.  Her breasts never got 
engorged, even after she stopped pumping  when her baby died.  She keeps saying 
that she sees it as God's way of  telling her it was His will.  Have you seen 
this phenomenon before?   Her due date was supposed to be Oct. 30th so this 
is a hard time for her.   Her doctor has ok'd her ttc efforts now, but she has 
the breastfeeding  questions.  She never planned to breastfeed until she gave 
birth  prematurely and I talked to her about it, now she wants to breastfeed 
if at all  possible.
