Bromocriptine question?
Hi all:
I haven't posted here before, so forgive the improper introduction, but I wondered if anyone has experience with Parlodel (Bromocriptine). I had to take 2.5mg parlodel in order to ovulate & conceive my daughter, who is now just over 9 months old (I only took it for a month, so it worked just fine!) I have no plans to wean her at any specific time but I don't have my period back yet...and I don't really expect to unless I go back on the parlodel. But I don't want to wean my daughter just to be able to get pregnant again, and I'm thinking ahead to baby #2. I asked my OB what I might do if, theoretically, I wanted to get pregnant again before my baby is weaned and I don't ovulate again. He said it would be safe for me to take the bromocriptine while still nursing. But from everything I've read, the parlodel is contra-indicated while breastfeeding as it can dry up one's milk supply (and I assume has unknown effects on the nursing baby). ??? Anyone out there have experience with high prolactin levels and conceiving another baby while still nursing a baby over a year old? (For what it's worth, I've never had supply problems...just the opposite, in fact. I can pretty easily pump 6-8 oz. in the morning, maybe a little less if I do it at night but I don't often pump 'cause I'm home with her. She gets a bottle maybe twice a month, if that.) Thanks... Becky |
