Hi mama's. I just wanted to share my story so far to give other breastfeeding mums a bit of hope! I am in Australia and went through Life Fertility with Glenn Sterling. He is amazing and had no issues with me continuing to breastfeed, he actually told me he is so proud of mums who tandem feed!!!! In Jan 2013 after many rounds of IVF, and 2 losses I conceived my son and his twin via FET. Sadly I lost his twin early but my beautiful son Hudson is now almost 3 and still breastfeeding which I'm very proud of! Fast forward to Feb this year and I underwent another FET (the first since Hudson was born) and low and behold it was successful first go! About a month before starting the cycle I decided to gradually wean Hudsons day feeds which was pretty easy. He still fed through the night and for nap time though. Medication wise I was on progynova 2mg 3x a day, crinone 2 x a day and prednisone 20mg (this is a steroid and I was put on it to help prevent my body from attacking the embryo and causing miscarriage). This is the exact same protocol I did with Hudson and all medication except prednisone was stopped at 12 weeks. The prednisone I had to slowly wean off and that was stopped by 15 weeks. Well today I am 18+6 weeks and had my morphology scan and baby boy is looking perfect! I am so excited and can't wait to update you all with bubbas birth :) Hudson has dropped down to just feeding to fall sleep and that was more my desicion than his, he is a total boobie monster but my nipples have been in agony whilst feeding since the start, along with nursing aversions and nausea when he feeds so for my own needs I decided to drop his feeds quite a bit. My milk is also colostrum now!!! I hope my story gives someone some hope. Good luck to everybody!!! Xoxox
