Okay, the drops I have gotten out of my breasts are this thick clearish/orange stuff, and it is VERY sticky. Does this mean ANYTHING???
And as for taking the blessed thistle and fennugreek, does it really hurt to take it now? Why shoudl I wait for my milk. I don't have any dom, and the website said it would take 10-14 days to get it delivered.

The thick stuff is normal. Things are just clearing out. Some women get a really dark thick fluid before milk comes. I would take the herbs now. Jenn gave you good advice in the other post. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Can anyone tell me why I am getting green drops? I have been pumping for 6 days and I do get some clear drops but mostly green!!!! I was told that could be because of eating lots of green veggies, but I havent been. If this is normal, how long will it be yukky green? Thanx for anyhelp, Dawn

Hi Dawn,
Are you taking any supplements besides the fenugreek and blessed thistle? Some herbs can turn your milk green. Milk comes in all colors. It's usually just fine. Give it a few more days for the milk making apparatus to kick into high gear.

Dear Lenore, I was so happy to get your reply.
I havent taken any herbs, I am taking domperidone, but I was getting green before that even. I do take vitamins, could that be it? I take Vitamin B and a multi vitamin.

YES. It could very well be the vitamins but don't stress about it. Breastmilk comes in all colours.
