Is anyone aware of any info to help her? Thanks, Cindy ---- Original Message ----- Subject: studies needed re: depo provera and lactation failure > Cindy: > I am a hospital based IBCLC in a teaching hospital. Our attendings and residents routinely give Depo Provera prior to discharge. I am seeing a great deal of patients come in with lactation failure- probably due to the progesterone/prolactin relationship required for stage II of lactogenesis. I have been called on the rug about it (actually for informing moms about the potential risks if given before 6 weeks). Do you know of any studies substantiating the need to wait six weeks postpartum? I am about to have to meet with the docs to discuss it, so time is of the essence. > > Thank You So Much! > > Monda Fleming, RN, IBCLC > > *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
