Hello, I am Mary Beth Collins, RN,IBCLC. I currently am working part time as a hospital LC in Greenville, S.C., teach breastfeeding class, support group, inservices, etc. I am also the mother of a 5 and 9 year old. I have been reading Lactnet for a month, thanks for all the info. Hopefully my computer ignorance will not interfer with my post! A fellow colleague finished nursing her last child 2 years ago, had a partial hysterectomy soon after that, is on no hormone therapy since she still has her ovaries, is on Tegretol as her only medication. Over the past 4 months she has been experiencing fluctuations of her breast size and tenderness during the same time of each month. This last month she became engorged bilaterally. She was leaking colostrum like fluid which then turned to a grayish color for 3 days then all was back to "normal". Her physicians have not been able to give her any answers yet. She is to go in for another check-up this week. I would love any ideas on what this could be. Thank you. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
