Heartburn and sensitivity

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:51:10 -0500

I hadn't had my period in almost 11 months so I was put on Progestin to induce my period. I finally got it on August 31st and had 9 days of a horrendous period. On the night of September 13th through the afternoon of the 14th, I had some light spotting. I have had heartburn for almost a week now and my nipples are so sensitive I don't like not wearing a bra even around the house because just brushing up with my shirt drives me crazy. I just don't know why I am having all these symptoms, they are similar to what I had when I was pregnant with my son, but too soon I thought. Plus I am on BC for 2 months to try and kick start my system for TTC before I go back on Clomid. Any ideas?

Starting journey for number 2!

I was diagnosed with PCOS early in 2002. After my engagement in early fall of the same year, we discussed trying for children since we knew it would be more difficult. I rarely get my period on my own, so I was put on a Progestin and Clomid. By month 4 of trying with these medications, my dose of Clomid was increased. By month 5, we had pretty much decided to take a break. I started getting some cramping and horrible pain in my left ovary. I was use to the cysts, but this was worse. I went in to the doctor where she discovered I had ruptured a cyst, but also, that I was pregnant. I had to go back 2 days later for another blood test to make sure everything was good. I had a successful pregnancy of a beautiful baby boy in 2003. For the last year, we have discussed at length trying for another child. After not getting my period since October of 2007 and changes with insurance, I was finally able to get back in with my old OB/GYN. Yesterday I started my first dose of Medroxyprogesterone to hopefully induce a menstrual cycle after which I will go two months on birth control pills. After those two months, I am to try immediately to conceive. If within the 2 months following the BC I don't conceive and/or don't menstrate, I will be put back on Clomid. I am hoping to start of next year with a baby on board!

Breastmilk and birthcontrol.. HELP.. urgent!!!! (Doctors?!)

I was taking a Progestin only pill, but b/c I was still spotting my midwife gave me a full strength pill (with estrogen) and she swore up and down it would not dry up my milk or anything like that.

I've been taking it for 5 days, and I've seen a HUGE reduction in my milk supply!!!!!!!!

I'm going back to the progestin only pill tomorrow morning.. will my milk pick back up? Do I need to do anything else to help it get there?

I'm really freaking out b/c I don't want to quit bf'ing!!!!! I don't want to have to give him formula!!!

Hope I get a response soon.. so my mind can be at ease...
