Hello...

My name is Beth and I am new to the board. My husband and I are pursuing adoption and awaiting the birth of a baby girl due at the end of May. We are incredibly excited and just spent several days with the potential birth mother. She is amazing and is committed to making this adoption plan work. Fingers crossed...

I am exploring induced lactation as I am considering nursing the baby. I am over 35, never given birth and have had a bad reaction
to Yasmin in the past. I am wondering if anyone could share their experiences...opinions...feedback regarding successful protocols? I did read some of the postings on this site but I'd like to hear some personal experiences too.

Thanks in advance smile
Beth

I posted this on your other post too:

I did the protocol with the Yasmin. I was under 35 the first time and over 35 the second. I had no issues except a little weight gain. I think you can use other bcp's (ortho-novum I think), or they are recommending a different protocol for those over 35 to limit the risk from blood clots. From what I have seen, those that do the bcp's seem to be more successful, but you should talk to your doctor to see what they say for you.

The domperidone is the most important part, but the bcp's help to prep the breasts, especially for those that have never nursed before. Whatever you decide, I would start soon, especially if you have a match. The domperidone takes a while to get if you order it online.

Good luck to you!
Jennifer
