It was never terrible, though. </p> LBee on "Poor supply during period" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poor-supply-during-period#post-2074868 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 09:50:08 +0000 LBee 2074868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the mini-pill and when I'm on it I don't have a period (this happened when I was on it pre-ttc too) and during the 3rd week of pills my supply is always noticeably lower (I pump). It's so weird - especially since I'm not actually having my period, it's just the time when I should. </p> mrsjyw on "Poor supply during period" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poor-supply-during-period#post-2074828 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 09:28:04 +0000 mrsjyw 2074828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF didn't come back til 4.5 months pp, but my supply always took a hit the week of AF. I took calc+mag vitamins, fenugreek tablets from GNC, and MMT in heavy doses to get pump enough for his daily intake. It went back to normal after AF week and I didn't take those supplements outside of AF week. </p> autumnlove on "Poor supply during period" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poor-supply-during-period#post-2074811 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 09:16:26 +0000 autumnlove 2074811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply was always lower for the first two days of my period and the day before bleeding. It always went back to normal when my cycle was over. </p> winniebee on "Poor supply during period" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poor-supply-during-period#post-2074724 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 08:05:08 +0000 winniebee 2074724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have my second post partum period in 2.5 weeks. Started mini pill a week ago and ditched it on Monday when I got the second period. My supply is suffering since Monday - let down taking forever and I can tell he's not getting as muh (wanting to eat more frequently, I can pump less etc). How log will this last and what can I do? How will we endure this every month? My son is only 10w and I can't imagine taking a hit like this on a monthly basis while he is so young. </p>
