Gosh things could be tricky - apparantly PCOS can ruin your breastfeeding odds. How Poo!

Another day, another realisation of the price I'm paying for cake, fruit and Oreos. 

I'm not saying I'll for sure be unable to breastfeed, after all, a fair number of PCOS mums do manage it just fine - and my diet is good and I have my Metformin. I'm also (dubious I know) lucky enough to live here in the UK where the doctor and midwives are likely to put immense pressure on me to breastfeed ... whether or not they actually help in anyway ... At least the default position won't be 'give up love'. There's a drug too, and herbs I hear - all is not lost of course. 

I did have my heart set on feeding Lambykins and am not best pleased at this new piece of information. Am very cross. Here, have a read.

its not all lost! I swear! I did it and I only had 1 breast to work with for 3 months because of a burn accident! i think feneugreek ( im sure im spelling that wrong) can help too!
