has anyone who's currently breast feeding had their milk supply completely dry up when they got their period or is it just me?

    Yes happened to me! I was breastfeeding, pumping the whole sha bang. Got my period and could barely pump 4 oz all day. So I started supplementing. Now I have hardly any milk

    I started taking a calcium plus magnesium supplement from the day I ovulate to the third day of period. I take 1500 mg a day. It's helped a lot. My milk supply has come back when my period is over though, and I believe that's usually the case.

    This makes me nervous. My supply already sucks and I need to supplement, in 16 weeks pp and haven't gotten mine yet

    Just had this happen to me and I freaked because I didn't expect my period at 13 weeks pp! I'm two days into my period and it's already getting better. I didn't supplement though, just fed every 2 hours and dealt with a frustrated baby when the breast emptied too fast. I'll try the calcium next month for sure!
