Today I also had a consult with a lactation consultant. I'm so invested in this breastfeeding thing. I've read a bunch of books, taken two classes, and now talked to a lactation consultant one on one. She was the first one who raised any flags as far as my potential for success. She suggested I convince my doctor to let me go back on Metformin. There's a risk that I won't be able to keep up a good supply due to PCOS. I view my PCOS diagnosis as somewhat shaky. My fertility clinic seemed to really want to give everyone they saw a diagnosis. So they gave me one of PCOS, without a lot of explanation. When I was seeing an endocrinologist right before my last IVF cycle and I mentioned my doubts he volunteered to test me, but I would have had to be off fertility meds for 6 months, and not pregnant, so that wasn't in the cards. I did take Metformin at the beginning of my pregnancy, I was desperate to take anything that would help us achieve our goal. I'm truly hoping that I won't have any issues due to hormones. After we get home from the hospital the lactation consultant will be visiting our house and we'll also do a follow up in her office again, so if there are any problems we can nip them in the bud quickly.LD Watch 2010: Not too many new signs the time is nearing. Increased discharge and some more pressure in the nether regions are about all I've noticed lately.
