AF doesn't have an effect on everyone but for some, it could cause a decrease in supply from O-day to about a couple of days into the period. I think it should rebound after, and to try to counteract the hormones, I read on Kellymom that a calcium/magnesium supplement during the supply dip might help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1487340 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:06:58 +0000 avivoca 1487340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I was sick, I spotted like crazy and my output was definitely lower. I've recovered this week and am pumping as much as I was (which is now not enough, but that's a whole different ballpark). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1487247 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:33:51 +0000 danda 1487247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have AF back yet but Kellymom has some good info on this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1486913 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 13:51:39 +0000 Mamaof2 1486913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply dropped at "o" and then returned at the onset of my period </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1486217 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:37:11 +0000 autumnlove 1486217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time, a few days before and a few days in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1486143 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:17:14 +0000 cmomma17 1486143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have actually never noticed a difference! I got my first AF back at 6 months and have had it at least two more times since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1486129 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:15:07 +0000 mrsjyw 1486129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep every time, mostly the first couple of days. i started taking calc+mag along with MMP and fenugreek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1486097 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:09:26 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1486097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*doh* I've been wondering why I haven't been getting as much as usually when I pump...thanks for clearing that up! Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1486090 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:07:16 +0000 travellingbee 1486090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, every time. Mostly the first 2 days. It comes back afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drop-in-supply-during#post-1486074 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:04:21 +0000 singingbee 1486074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Af! </p> <p>If you got your period back while breastfeeding, did you notice a drop in your supply when pumping? How long did it last? Right before you period came? During? </p> <p>My output has been just enough this week. I've not noticed a change in the previous months, but that just may have been coincidence. I just am wondering if it is AF's fault or if my supply is starting to dwindle. </p>
