Hi lactnetters, am quite new/previously lurking to lactnet - have main interest in the role of medicinal plants during lactation (does't that cover a big frontier?) but the recent thread of clomid use for fertility and lactation failure pp. had me take a look (through Pubmed search engine) at clomide ( try clomide AND lactation)-pretty interesting. Eg.: Fertil Steril 1992 Nov;58(5):1060-1062 Isolated prolactin deficiency: a case report. Falk RJ A 36-year-old woman, with lifelong oligomenorrhea and immeasurable serum PRL levels, conceived and had normal deliveries after ovulation induction with CC. Alactogenesis followed both deliveries. Evaluation of other pituitary hormones were within normal limits, and attempted stimulation of PRL levels by TRH was unsuccessful. The clinical significance of isolated hypoprolactinemia is discussed. PMID: 1426359, UI: 93050328 My questions: Of the women treated for infertility and who also suffered low milk production pp, did they have an alteration in prolactin levels before treatment? Hyperprolactinemia, from various conditions, can also bring a woman to fertility treatments. Do these women also have difficulty breastfeeding after clomide treatment?
