Just wondering what I do now? I have been on the protocol for 2.5 weeks, and just noticed tonight that I have drops of clear, sticky and some white milk. Do I continue on the protocol? We do not have a match yet, but it could happen soon.

Thanks!

Yes continue on the protocol and don't express at all. When you get a match you can decide when to stop the bcp add the herbs and start pumping. The longer you have on the protocol the greater chance for a full supply.

I agree with Laurie. I stayed on the protocol 8 months until we matched. Ours was a last second placement and so I pumped for the first time the day we were placed with our daughter. I built up to a full supply within 2 weeks. Good luck!

I'm a bit envious. I've been on the protocol for about 45 days and started pumping this morning. I got nada.
Is it common not to see any drops from pumping in the beginning or should I be concerned?

Hopenpray yes that is normal. Just keep pumping Everyone is different but you usually start to see sprays by about two weeks The drops will come sometime between now and then.

Hi Lalle,
I've gotten drops, but still no spray. I keep getting drops from my inverted nipple on the left side. Nothing on the right. Will I ever get a flow? It's hard not to get discouraged.
