Well I don't understand I had written my question ...
i wanted to know your opinion on taking femara, gonal-fois and ovidrel while breastfeeding. Thank you

Thank you for the clarification!
This will not be an opinion but the result of a literature search and considerations based on clinical experience.
First, keep in mind that breastfeeding can be a form of contraception. It is not a super-reliable form of contraception, but it can disrupt the menstrual cycle.
There is little data regarding the use of Ovidrel while breastfeeding so it is not strictly recommended
The same is true for Gonal-F, but there are also concerns that it may decrease milk production.
Finally, it is recommended to stop Femara at least 10 days before breastfeeding.
I hope this has been helpful and I am available if you have any further questions!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
