Are my breastfeeding days over?

Question

So little girl is 5 months now and has been doing well until two weeks ago we discovered our girl was not getting enough breastmilk anymore and we had to start giving formula as an extra. Meanwhile I’ve been trying to up my production but it has not progressed allot and I’ve actually just got my first period today since she was born and I’m so scared does this mean this the end of my breastfeeding abilities and it’s only downhill from here?

Answer

EBF here and I’ve had two periods since giving birth 
It doesn’t mean the end ☺️ just keep telling your body to produce however that may be

Answer

I kept EBF after I got my period! I'm sure you've tried power pumping, oatmeal, lactation cookies, mothers milk tea, body Armour drinks, tons of water, and Coconut water/Gatorade?

Answer

I'm exclusively pumping and got my period back at 3.5 months PP. I pump between about 30oz and 1 liter a of breast milk a day depending on my schedule.
Because I track how much I make, I see the amount difference during my period vs. every other time. It does drop, but by maybe 1oz a day or so? Definitely nothing to sweat over. As soon as my period is over, it bounces right back up to normal.
I supplement with formula when needed (1 bottle a day usually), and feed what milk I do make. 
If I were you, I would continue feeding breast milk as much as possible and just supplement with formula when needed.
