In the Netherlands it is a common therapy to prescribe progesteron to treat PPD. Some even
start with in the early days after delivery what I find scary for the lactogenesis II.
Still i haven't heard reports of a negative effect on the milkproduction.


Anyway people are postitive about this treamtnet.I've heard many women telling it helps.
