I would love to be able to breastfeed. Unfortunately I have a history of pulmonary embolus (triggered by birth control pills) and am not allowed to take hormones or anything that could possibly increase the chance of a blood clot. Is there a protocol that could still work for me? Does domperidone have any bad side effects? Thank you all in advance! Jennifer GS due April 17th Copy Link to Clipboard

I haven't read anything on them that would suggest causing clots. I would suggest you email Lenore as your is a complex situation.

What many mothers in your situation do is follow a protocol that involves goat's rue together with domperidone. Neither contains estrogen or progesterone which are associated with emboli. You would need to begin pumping fairly soon. Email me at Lenore@asklenore.info for further information.
