I lost some when I stopped the BCP's and was pumping. I started the fenugreek and BT at that time and didn't see any weight gain. Jennifer

OP xianzai newbie X Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 9	My girlfriend is experiencing some eye issues, dizzyness and confusion with moving things like tv or cars, 7 weeks after a c-section. She had something similar with our first son so its likely that but it seemed to start once she started taking the blessed thistle.
