I was thinking 3-4 months. I need an operation also so can put it off until Xmas. Also have PCOS which the doc treats with the Dianette pill which I know is not allowed whilst breastfeeding. The PCOS is why it took us 3 years to conceive
.
i've got pcos too, although i took myself off dianette when it made me depressed. i went on metformin to control my weight and i really want to go back on it again but i'm bf-ing so its gonna have to wait a while. i've found that all my other symptoms (hair, spots etc) have been markedly better since having connor. its just the weight thing that i'm struggling with again, but bf-ing helps that by using up extra calories
i plan on bf-ing for as long as connor wants it - i'll sort myself out again after that. i know its different for you if you've got to have an op as well, but you might find that your pcos is much less of an issue after birth so try not to worry about it. just feed for as long as you can
