Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Got Milk!

So, I am a month and a week into the protocol. I was in the shower this morning and noticed white drops on my nipple. I tried and was able to hand express drops of milk. I still have 2 months to finish on the protocol, but I am thinking this is a really good sign! My body remembers what to do!

That is awesome, Im happy for you. I have been on them for about a month in a half, had to bump the domperidone up to 3 times 4 a day, my boobs are rock hard swollen, and hurt like crazy . I did that to get my body used to it, because I am coming off of the bcps soon! Good Luck!

Thanks all4myson09! I am really excited! When do you plan to get off the bcps? I am getting geared up mentally for pumping at this point. I still have a while before I start, but I am hoping that it all goes smoothly when I do. I turned in the last of our paperwork to the adoption agency this week, so technically, we could get a baby any time now!

I plan on coming off of them hopefully soon, bc the pills are making me feel really fuddy duddy! I have to help my mom move, so I want to do it when I am not stressed out. I'm so happy for you, i'll keep you in my prayers that you get a baby soon!
