I also take Motilium, but that is just for the breasts. The E & P are the whole body and mind hormone.

Motilium for the breasts? I thought it was an anti-nausea drug?
(...googles...)
Oh, so I see that it increases breast milk production - how does it help your breasts? I'm intrigued.

my Dr refuses to prescribe P. She says it the reason Cis females on birth control get blood clots :-\

oMotilium or domperidone increases prolactin in the blood, so it increases the breasts growth and may induce lactation too.
As for progesterone, any hormones are consider to be risk factor for blood clots even estrogen
But
Iam happy too

Okay, thanks for explaining. It's be redundant in my case, as my prolactin is already very high - so that's one less tablet for me to take :).

The Motilum increases the Prolactin, which helps develop the milk glands for lactation. Since being on Motilium and lactating I grew about a cup size.

Are injections much more expensive than pills/tablets? I don't really know if I can get them here, but I'll ask my endo when the time comes...
