>>German physicians (who prescribe it for infertility) avoid it in
lactating mothers because of concerns about the potential to lower the
milk supply (lowers prolactin and milk in rats; in humans, using it for
>2 weeks was associated with a quicker return of menses).<<

The studies were on men, and what they found was that while small
amounts stimulated Prolactin production, large amounts hindered it.
Animal studies also found inhibition of Prolactin. However, no one has
studied the effects specifically on women, nor examined dose-specific
results.
