Our baby via gestational surrogacy is expected around August 1, so we have less than 4 weeks until he/she arrives. I started a modified/accelarated adoptive protocol back in May - took 1/35's for 6 straight weeks, along with dom about 2-3x/day. Stopped the bcps, and began the dom/fenu (just 2 fenu a day, and 3 dom) to ease into it. We also had plans to go overseas right after I stopped the bcps, so I decided to pump after the trip - it was just too much for me to bring the pump with me. All during the trip, I felt tingling and even a little "itchy" inside my breasts - figured that was a good thing!
So, I have pumped twice today so far, and at the first pumping got about a 1/4 teaspoon of liquid! At the second pumping, I got about a teaspoon - I so excited! I was not sure I would even get anything, and I have to say that I'm so happy I got this much the first time out smile
It's been hard to get into pumping - I work full time, and I haven't really been comfortable pumping at work - there is a room for it I know, I just haven't been in there yet. Anyone else have a hard time figuring out how to get started? This is tough to do without a baby around.

It is tough to do Robin but oh so worth it. The key to your success now is to get on a good pumping schedule. You have already seen milk smile with more frequent pumping you will get more and more milk.
Congrats!!!

How is the pumping going??? Is your little one here yet, or are you trying to be patient waiting????

Hope all is well!
