Just a question

I had a Mirena IUD put in 8 weeks after my son was born and he is now 15 months old. I was breast feeding him until he was 7 months old. I was just wondering if anyone knew if the IUD can make you continue lactating after you stop breastfeeding. I can still squeeze out milk if I gently squeeze and my fiance still can get milk if he sucks on my nipples during sex. I have an appointment in a couple weeks to talk to my ob about removing the IUD anyways but I was just wondering.

It's actually pretty common for you to still be producing some milk. It just takes awhile to completely go away, and any kind of stimulation will
