The last two doses I don't worry about because I have a totally empty stomach in the first dose and haven't eaten for at least 1 1/2 hours with the last dose but with the afternoon dose; I don't eat anything a half hour before most days but sometimes might have tea with milk around that time either within an hour of taking it or after. Does that make that much of a difference?

I try to take it on an empty stomach, but don't worry too much if I don't. I've had a great response to the dom. Jennifer

I'm just trying to maximize the effect. I guess I won't know until I pump and right now that still seems far away.
