Hi Michele

Just wondering how things are going???

SU

I am getting about 20-22 ml/day. How are you doing? Did you decide to take herbs?

Wow Michele that's great how much you're getting.

I've decided to start taking the herbs. I stopped the dom for a while because I felt that I was just spinning my wheels, without giving myself a good chance to produce any milk at all.

So, I've gotten myself organized - I've got the herbs (Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle) and I've got a whole bunch of Dom. I'm going tos tart full force ahead as of Friday. I'm going to be taking 4 Dom pills 4 times per day and I'm going to take 3 of each of the herb pills 3 times a day. I'm going to start pumping every 4 hours as of Saturday and I'm going to pray that I see some milk even if a few drops - just to give me hope!

I figure that since I'm off work for the next 2 weeks, I can really concentrate on getting this going!

That's great!! In those two weeks you should definitely start producing milk but remember that everyone is different so don't get discouraged.
