Jeg har PCO, og er derfor nødt til at tage p-piller. Jeg har trukket den indtil nu, fordi jeg var bange for, at det ville gå ud over amningen - hvilket det også gjorde. Jeg har ammet min 4 måneder gamle datter fuldt ud indtil for 5 dage siden hvor vi for første gang introducerede MME på flaske.
Som det er nu, spiser hun et øjeblik på hvert bryst og græder frustreret. Jeg har efter hver amning de sidste par dage givet hende 100 ml MME, og først når de er drukket, er hun glad og mæt.
Mit spørgsmål er om jeg kan få amningen op igen. Jeg har før haft "tomme" dage, men har altid kunne få produktionen om med målrettet indsats, men denne gang føles anderledes. Jeg lægger hende oftere til end før men alligevel bliver der mindre og mindre mælk for hver dag - og nu er jeg helt panikslagen ved tanken om, at det muligvis går helt i stå. Kan man optrappe en mælkeproduktion som er hæmmet af hormoner?
Venlig hilsen Maria
Hej Maria
Jeg skal lige høre dig hvilke p-piller tager du?
Jeg er ikke specielt meget inde i emnet - men har fundet dette på La Leche Leagues hjemmeside (http://www.llli.org/ba/Nov01.html)
Controversy surrounds the use of hormonal birth control methods in breastfeeding women, particularly regarding when they should be started and whether or not combination oral contraceptives should be used. Resarch has not shown that the estrogens and progestins used in oral contraceptives (OCs) ingested by the mother are harmful to human infants, but it is known that estrogens can reduce milk supply in some women. Croxatto et al. and Peralta et al. have shown that combination oral contraceptives have a “moderate” inhibitory influence on lactation even if instituted after milk supply is well established.(4,5) Tankeyoon noted a 41.9 percent decline in milk volume with combination OCs.(6) The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that the use of combination pills is acceptable if women are informed of the risk of a decreased milk supply.(7) It is prudent to avoid their use in women who are committed to continued breastfeeding since many other choices are available.
The progestin-only oral contraceptives, injectable progestins, and progestin implants (presently unavailable in the US) have been studied and found to have no adverse effects on breastfed infants.(8,9) When to start progestin-only methods is also a cause for considerable discussion. Initiation of lactation is stimulated by the withdrawal of progesterone that occurs after delivery. Kennedy et al. suggest that one should wait at least three days before administering a progestin.(10) However, there are many anecdotal reports of milk supply being affected by the administration of a progestin-only contraceptive. Although Koetsawang noted an increase in milk supply with progestin-only contraception, Tankeyoon noted a 12 percent decline in supply with oral progestin-only contraception compared to placebo.(6,11) Waiting until at least six weeks postpartum to prescribe progestin-only contraceptives may avoid such effects.
Hvis du har brug for hjælp med oversættelse så sig til. Du kan evt. tage det med til din læge og diskutere hvilke p-piller der er bedst til dig.
