Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply battling fatigue

I am on day 12 of the regular protocol (microgestin and 80mg domp per day). I am soooo tired. I realize the info says this will happen. I am curious to know other people's experiences such as: when did the fatigue hit you, how long did it last?

I did the accelerated protocol before, but that was 5 years ago and my memory is clouded!

Hi Joy,

Yes I was struck by fatigue as well, and I actually had my DD in arms when I started the protocol! I used SNS and formula at first as she came to us unexpectedly. I thought, I feel like I really gave birth to her!
My suggestions are get as much rest as possible. Take a good multi-vitamin and look forward to when this will pay off and you hold your little one in your arms.
Good luck!

Thank you so much. I am trying hard to rest... I think it's just going to take some acceptance that I must slow down.

I don't remember the protocol talking about fatigue. The only fatigue I experienced was when I started pumping and was up in the middle of the night. Expected and I just dealt with it I guess, naps...
