OP kimjimbo member Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 74 Central Florida	I have been taking Goat's Rue for a few months. I am about to run out and am wondering whether I should reorder or not. Our baby is due 8/1/07 (only 29 more days!!!) I have enough goat's rue for a few more days but that's it. Should I reorder or just keep taking the Blessed Thistle, Fenugreek, Milk Thistle, and dom? TIA, Kim Kimberlee Jo wife to Jim sahm proud to be Abigail's mommy

The way I would judge if the Goats Rue is working for you or not is to stop taking it for 3 days. If your supply drops then I would order it. But if it does not I would not order it.

And I'm taking dom 40 mg 4 X per day. So a total of 160 mg daily. thanks, Kim Kimberlee Jo wife to Jim sahm proud to be Abigail's mommy

Lalle extra helpful experienced member Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 1,785 Idaho	I had the deluxe and added another top piece I also used their bags and the bottle liner bags you can buy at the store. I made myself a pouch. That worked great for me even when we were nursing every feed with the lactaid. I got bags ready and stored them in tupperware cups in the fridge then I would just pop on the top and it was ready to go. I rinsed the top out after every feed so they were ready to be reused.

I am going to order the lact-aid and have it shipped tomorrow moring. do you know of anywhere in Jacksonville, Fla. that I can purchase a Lact-aid when I go there when the baby is born? I have prepared for 3 months to do this , and I have taken Domperidone for 3 months, and the BC pill for 3 months also. do I stop the BC pill in the am.. and keep on with the Domperidone? And then start the Blessed Thistle, and the fenugreek tomorrow too? I have not been able to get a response from Leonore.. but, I think that she is not going to be in her office till tomorrow morning.. I think I will hear from her then. thanks for any help.. Lisa C
