Wise ones and Dr Hale

A woman in her last trimester has asked me about using LAM for
contraception while taking Tegretol (carbamazepine).  She was told by
her neurologist that this medication makes her 10 times more fertile.
Is this so?  Would optimal breastfeeding behaviour still be able to
suppress ovulation?   TIA.
