Lactation Suppressed

Most patients seeking abortion care or management of pregnancy loss in the second trimester will lactate, which can be physically and emotionally painful. The efficacy of a one-time dose of cabergoline has been previously demonstrated to prevent breast symptoms for these patients. This study seeks to determine if investigators can more precisely manage these patients with a reduced dose appropriate for the physiology of the second trimester, thereby reducing the medication cost and reducing or eliminating the uncomfortable medication side effects.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare breast symptoms (lactation, engorgement, etc) of individuals who undergo a procedure for second trimester of pregnancy loss between 16 weeks and 20 weeks gestational age. The participants will be randomly placed in two groups, one with a placebo tablet and one with medication called "cabergoline" which are taken immediately after their procedure. Researchers will compare groups to see if there are any significant differences in breast symptoms.
