pitocin - it is the naturally occurring hormone that causes contractions and let-down of milk It is what gets the motors running to get that baby out.

My first child was turning into hell for me, so I said "Give me the da** epidural!!!" After that, it was the first thing I asked for. LOL

oxytocin is the generic name or the hormone that women can produce. Pitocin is the Brand name that they drip into your arm vein and holy hell breaks loose with your uterus. LOL. I heard once that women release oxytocin while they chit-chat and that's why we enjoy eachother's company and talking so much. So ironically: Small amounts of oxytocin--> pleasurable, relaxing. Large amounts --> hold on Momma!

So, 3 weeks ago, I set about 30 eggs from my Blue Silkies. 17 still looked viable by lock-down. I had to incubate these in the LG foamie I still have since I need to replace the fan in my cabinet. Well, after about 3 days of monkeying around with trying to get it to hold temp, I thought I had it. I put the eggs in, and it started jumping back and forth. I considered just replacing the thermostat, but by that time the eggs had been in long enough that I would have lost them all. So, I am sure the fluctuation in temp during the first few days impacted the eggs, which stinks, but it is November and I don't normally hatch anything until January. I think I will get 5-6 from this hatch. I am okay with that.

Cuties. Congrats on the new silkies and here's hoping there's more to come.

Widely referred to as the love hormone, oxytocin has also been dubbed the hug hormone, cuddle chemical, moral molecule, and the bliss hormone due to its effects on behavior, including its role in love and in female reproductive biological functions in reproduction.

You'd think there would be a black market for this stuff, men sneaking it into women's coffee in the morning and their lemonade at night.

The intent is to get your uterus to squeeze that little bugger out. Soisn't that the effect your are looking for from it? Of course, nothing that we get to balance our hormones is natural, look at insulin. It is either a pork derivative or a chemical compound or something along those line.
As for me, if they ever tell me I should try HRT, I will grow a beard instead.


Of course, you are right, I failed to mention the difference. We would have to give shots to some of the cows back on the farm who just wouldn't let down the milk. about a half a cc of oxy and they would flood the milker. LOL

Babies crying is a wonderful stimulant too. (read with sarcasm!!)

You know, with all the hormones one person can produce and all the variations and how they make people feel or behave, we are one mess of an organism if just one goes out of whack. Even men, I know have those swings. I have especially been mindful of it with our teen boys, it makes them lose their minds temporarily from time to time. My oldest said, I don't even know why I feel this way. So it isn't just the girls, I know that.
