So, what ARE the clear drops?

The videos on the Stanford website are fantastic for learning to hand epxress. Watch that one and the one on making more milk. You do need to register to view them (the site was recently hacked so they had to add this step) but it's well worth registering and viewing. http://newborns.stanford.edu/Breastfeeding/

The clear drops usually signal the start of the milk. Have they turned cloudy yet? Have you had any more success? Have you been able to increase your dom?

I went ahead and increased the Dom. I'm now taking 20mg 4 times/day. There will come a time when I'm out and won't be able to get a prescription for more, but I'll cross that bride when I come to it.

I think increasing really did the trick, though! I now get about 5ml/pump total. Not a lot yet, but it's milk! Also, it's been increasing really fast (doubling every day or so), so I'm very happy. I wish there was a way to know when I'd start getting real amounts though! I'm so impatient!

Order thru inhousepharmacy.

I second Jennifer. I ordered through inhousepharmacy.biz You don't need a prescription.
Jennifer

I wouldn't? Is that allowed? I was under the impression you needed one!

I ordered through a compounding pharmacy here with a doctor's prescription at first because my insurance covered it. When they stopped, it would have cost me a ton. So I started ordering it from inhousepharmacy.biz Many of the people on this board (who aren't from Canada) order it from there. I never had any problems. The pills were in the original packaging made by a known pharmaceutical company. You have to do what you feel comfortable doing, though.

I guess I just didn't realize it was allowed. I'm excited though!

Yeah, I order from inhousepharmacy.com too. The only issue is you have to be home when they deliver, because you have to sign for it. I learned that the first time... Just have it delivered to your work if you're able to (if you work outside the home).
