I'm taking calcium now but it's not the combined one - what brand do you have? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supply-drop-when-aunt-flow-visits#post-453436 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:45:06 +0000 LivsMama 453436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup. Start taking calcium+magnesium tablets daily. They have to be a single tablet though. They work together to keep your levels up, and it reduces the hormone drop that affects milk. That tip came from my LC, and it def helped me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supply-drop-when-aunt-flow-visits#post-453427 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:43:23 +0000 littleveesmommy 453427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a week ago I noticed my supply was dropping from my pump yield at work. I usually pump 5 oz first session then 4-5 oz second session, but it had dropped to barely 5 oz combined from two sessions!!! I thought for sure my body was telling me it's done and was quite sad (DD is 10.5 months) but then a few days later I got a visit from a "friend". I had a brief visit from her around 4 months pp and my supply had gone down to nil. It took over three weeks of crazy oatmeal, MMT and MMP binging to bring it back up. My "friend" left two days ago and this mornings work pump session is back to normal. HURRAH!!!</p> <p>Anyone else notice a big supply drop when she-who-shall-not-be-named visits? </p>
