Anyone know how breastfeeding could impact your day 3 bloodwork?

Have a nursing toddler (few times per day). Anyone know how that might impact day 3 bloodwork, if at all? TIA.

I believe that breastfeeding is supposed to lower your estrogen. Not sure how much of an impact there would be if you are breastfeeding only a little.

your prolactin is super high while breastfeeding. also, your estrogen would be low, which would impact your FSH. i don't think you can do day 3 testing accurately while nursing. i know i had to stop and have two periods before i could do my testing.

Maybe google around a little more. I know I've read about women doing fertility treatment even though they're still breastfeeding (usually agains the REs advice). They advocate for this, and would know mroe about it.
