I am interested in the incidence of failed or poor milk supply in BF women
who have received Depo-Provera injection after 48 hours from giving birth. I
will be sharing this information with a HCP who orders it given to women in
the hospital prior to discharge but after 48 hours.
She is unaware of any one having difficulties establishing a supply if they
wait 48 hours before receiving the injection. You and I have worked with
women whose supplies have been compromized after receiving Depo regardless
of the length of time from delivery... 48 hours, 6 weeks, 4 months etc.
Would you send me privately your "anecdotal" information so I can add it to
my "anecdotal" information? With numbers perhaps she will change her orders
and begin prescribing some other form of birth control for her breastfeeding
patients. Thank you for your help.
