It is called the lactational amenorrhea method, and, any source that mentions it will acknowledge that it is a highly effective method (2% failure rate when used in the first six months.) ❋ Unknown (2010)
A method known as the lactational amenorrhea method LAM can reduce your likelihood of pregnancy to 2 percent or less. ❋ THE BOSTON WOMEN’S HEALTH BOOK COLLECTIVE (2008)
A bonus: Nursing tops now come in trendy tank-top styles, which I think look less 'lactational' compared with more traditional nursing shirts. ❋ Unknown (2007)
What will they try to measure next – lactational insanity? ❋ Unknown (2011)
My body was telling me I could no longer rely on lactational amenorrhea as a form of contraception. ❋ Renee (2009)
This lactational ovulation can be more effective than all other forms of birth control in reducing population growth. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It provides fantastic nutrition and immunoenhancement for the child, acts as natural birth control because lactational hormones suppress ovulation, and eats up calories so quickly that a mom can either quickly lose "baby weight" or keep eating like mad. ❋ Field Notes (2006)
If you are breast-feeding, you may practice the lactational amenorrhea method LAM, described briefly below, which applies to the first six months of breast-feeding. ❋ The Boston Women’s Health Book Collective (2005)
It may be remarked that the frequency of the association between lactation and the sexual sensations is indicated by the fact that, as Savage remarks, lactational insanity is often accompanied by fancies regarding the reproductive organs. ❋ Havelock Ellis (1899)
To prevent sows from developing lactational oestrus, it is essential sows are pushed, says pig technologist ❋ Unknown (2010)
Pig producers should aim to reduce the potential for lactational oestrus during the winter months by recognising the risks and managing accordingly, she says. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Genuine oestrus events coincide with the oestrus of another family member only 9% of the time, which is consistent with the brief period of time that females spend in oestrus as opposed to pregnancy or lactational anoestrus: false oestrus events coincide with a nulliparous female's oestrus on at least 53% of occasions. ❋ Lucy A. Bates Et Al. (2010)
Whilst such hormonal changes may be the proximate cause of false oestrus events here, at least three different abnormal hormonal mechanisms must be invoked to explain the occurrence in senescent females, pregnant females, and females in lactational anoestrus. ❋ Lucy A. Bates Et Al. (2010)
Even for the female in lactational anoestrus, her inter-birth interval was 49 months, meaning that she did not successfully conceive until 27 months after the birth of her previous calf, some 23 months after exhibiting false oestrus behaviours. ❋ Lucy A. Bates Et Al. (2010)
However, producers should ensure signs of oestrus during lactation are actually lactational oestrus and not "pseudo heats", says Mr Hawe. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Although it's likely a sow will display unusual heat during the hotter months when the suckling pattern is disrupted, for example when a sow leaves her piglets to wallow, in reality, lactational oestrus is more commonly seen from December to April, says Miss Thoday. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Recent variation in litter size as a result of last year's early autumn infertility could make sows more susceptible to lactational oestrus, according to Jennie Batt, ❋ Unknown (2010)
