I have had the flu for the past 5 days with a fever, but no vomiting or diarrhea. I noticed today especially that my supply has decreased a little bit. Is this typical? Will my supply increase again once I'm better? I have been very diligent about pumping through this flu. Thanks for you help! Love, svl
