Would This Medicine Affect My Child If I Am Breastfeeding?
Dear Doctor, I was diagonised with PCOS 3 years ago. I concieved and have a baby boy of 1 year and 10 months. I have been having regular periods after birth until last month when I missed my periods. I had all signs for pregnancy but I tested and i wasnt pregnant. I visited a GYN who prescribed duphaston 10mg for me. he doesnt know my history of PCOS, HE thinks that since i gave birth by C-Section, they could have blocked my tubes. I am afraid of taking the duphaston 10gm because i am still breastfeeding and also have herpetitis B. wont this medicine affect me and my child. I badly want to concieve.
Many thanks JY

Hi.
Duphaston is a hormonal pill that will help regulate your cycle, and if at all you are breastfeeding, fluctuations in your menstrual cycle are normal, and I would not worry too much about it.
As for the C-section, the procedure cannot block your tubes, and you should be safe to conceive, it may just be a slight fluctuation in your hormone levels that is making it a little difficult. Continue to try to conceive, and write to me using our premium service so I can guide you in a more accurate manner with some fertility tips and medications.
Best wishes.
