My biological clock is ticking. Can I take Clomid while I’m nursing? – Breastfeeding Basics
When it comes to being a mother and nursing and breastfeeding, there are some basics that go along with this that every mother should know. There are also some things that you should not do or take while your are nursing. This article offers you the insight and a more in depth look into whether or not you can take Clomid while you are nursing.
Key Takeaways:
- Breastfeeding can do some wacky things to your hormones, and it’s hard to predict ovulation patterns while you’re lactating.
- As far as the Clomid goes, it works by stimulating the ovaries so that they release an egg, which apparently isn’t happening in your case because your baby is still nursing enough times in 24 hours to inhibit ovulation.
- The best way to start ovulating is to cut back on the number of nursing sessions in a 24 hour period.
“”The reason for concern about taking Clomid while you’re breastfeeding isn’t that it will adversely affect your baby, but that it may decrease your milk supply””
