Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Should I add more progesterone?

I've been on the accelerated protocol for 10 days and I don't feel any different. Breasts feel the same. I so want to breast feed this baby, I LOVE breast feeding.

Thanks!

I'm taking yasmin, and 90 mil (I think it's mil) aday of domperidone.

Jamie you could switch birth control pills but I would give it more time. When is your baby due to arrive?

Jamie,

If I recall correctly, at about 10 days on the regular protocol (same meds) The only change I had was painful breasts...not horrible, but it did seem to increase everyday. Now I'm at two weeks on the protocol and have some fullness, but not any growth. The advice on the board and directly from Lenore was to stick with it for a bit longer. Just keep on with the meds and see what happens. You're on a bcp with a large amt of progesterone in it anyways.

Thanks! Our baby is due December 21st. But her last three babies were early. The last pregnancy ended 2 months early with a still born. I just want to be producing so badly.

The thing is I had changes during my first pregnancy 7 years ago but not the following pregnancies 5.5 years ago and 3.5 years ago.

I plan on taking the yasmin until the middle of November and then start pumping. Should I up the dom? I weigh about 180, does that make a difference?

There is no tenderness in the girls. if I didn't know any better I'd say its like I'm not even trying... I'm not even taking the pills.

Thank you so much for your wisdom. I'll continue on!

Hi Jamie,

Some moms have a better result with the Ortho 1/35. You may want to ask your doctor about switching from the Yasmin to the Ortho. They have different progesterone types.

Best, Lenore

is ok to use diane-35 instead of yasmin?

Diane-35 is no longer recommended because of the risk of DVT's (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
