Yes, I have done all that - to no avail. I called Phizer -who were alarmed! The doc just sniffed at my copy of Hale and then made my blood boil when he told me,
'I suppose that every Mother that you see with reduced milk supply has had Depo?' I didn't get a chance to talk about progesterone receptors because he walked off, grinning.
Rude eh?

Go to the following site and read under "indications and usage" as it
addresses exclusive bf women only get this at 6 wk checkup.
I would offer to the doctor that you, or several of your colleagues have
seen milk drying up after this injection. You could then offer Hale and this
insert info. You could ask would he consider using another birth control
method in bf moms? Or you could keep a log of moms who have had negative
effects - share with him and the drug company.
