Linda #13959 11/30/10 12:15 AM Joined: May 2008 Posts: 52 J J in TX OP member OP J in TX member J Joined: May 2008 Posts: 52 Thank you so much, Linda. I'm at 120 mg dom now. I experimented with 160 (not recommended, by the way), but it didn't feel right. 120 seems fine. I have oats for breakfast every morning, plus the herbs and brewer's yeast. I think it is working, just really, really slowly with my body. I suppose the hormonal issues that resulted in infertility to begin with probably don't help. Age doesn't help, either. <sigh> I should probably just be really happy that my body and I are doing what we can to take care of my baby (who is doing beautifully, by the way)!

I have heard of post menopause women being successful as well. Yes, DO be happy. Breast feeding is so much more than just milk. My daughter in law realized she had low thyroid issues that affected fertility. We looked it up on the web and found that sometimes a lack of iodine makes the thyroid not function well, which affects the hormones. So she started on a kelp supplement and after 2 months, she had conceived! I have NO idea if that would help in your situation. just a passing thought. I think you're doing GREAT!
