You could try drinking Red Bush Tea as well and see if you can slowly wean off the Doperidone and replace it with the Red Bush Tea.

I've been drinking it and my boobs are so full its not funny. I actually got it for Mac to drink to help his teething pain but I found out later that they use it in South Africa to help milk supply.

It might be a "left of centre" suggestion but it might be worth a shot if the Doperidone is going to effect your TTCing.

There are other natural milk supply enhancers you can use as well.]]> Sat, 03 Jul 2010 19:55:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34150&PID=1086391&title=domperidone-and-af#1086391 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34150&PID=1070431&title=domperidone-and-af#1070431 Author: SpecialK

I was on domperidone for about 6 months, and no AF until I weaned myself off it (very gradually - dropping 10mg every few days).

Unfortunately the day after I stopped domperidone my milk dried up completely, despite continuing trying to BF, taking other supplements, eating well etc.

Once I came off the meds, AF came back and within 1 cycle was regular and I got pregnant with baby #2 on the third cycle. ]]> Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:28:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34150&PID=1070431&title=domperidone-and-af#1070431 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34150&PID=1069067&title=domperidone-and-af#1069067 Author: mummyofprinces

Firstly congratulations on your wee boy!!!!! I somehow missed this news completely!

I got my AF back 15 weeks PP and my hormones were all over the place but I was ovulating, but my LP was only 8 days...

Whether on domperidone or not there is not guarantees your AF will come back in the next couple of months anyway so coming off it may not help.... After speaking with my naturopath I went back on vitex and B6 when we started TTC again (Jake was 5 months) but I am not sure it actually helped tbh. Vitex can help with supply too she told me.

When you are ready to TTC you could always get your prolaction levels checked to see how high they are....

In terms of "normal" levels during pregnancy this link might help link

Again, huge congrats... made my day

I was on domperidone for 6 months (the highest dosage I could be on) and I get my AF - but I can't remember how long after having DS2 that I got AF back.

Good luck with the next pregnancy.]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 14:32:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34150&PID=1068983&title=domperidone-and-af#1068983 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34150&PID=1068832&title=domperidone-and-af#1068832 Author: Vanillabean

I'm taking 120mg of domperidone daily to increase my milk supply but only have about 30% of the milk my baby needs and have to top up with formula. My baby is now 10 weeks old and so far I have not ovulated or had an AF. Domperidone works by raising prolactin levels and I read online that prolactin is what prevents ovulation while breast feeding. Because we had so much trouble conceiving this baby we want to start trying for a second one in a few months time but I am wondering if I will need to come off the domeperiodone first.

Has anyone here been on domperidone and still had AF?]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 10:32:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34150&PID=1068832&title=domperidone-and-af#1068832
