Hi Paula,
Lalle is absolutely correct. The fastest way to bring in your milk supply, from what we have observed after working with over 1000 women, is to do the domperidone/birth control pill combination for AT LEAST 30 days. Then stop the birth control pill, maintain the domperidone, and start pumping with a double electric breastpump. Most of the moms here have used the Medela Pump in Style with great results.
Also, be careful to make sure that you are on the RIGHT birth control pill. They are not all creasted equal. The one we recommend for the acelerated protocol is Yasmin. If you can't get it, you can substitute Ortho 1/35. Stay away from OrthoNovum or any of the other low dose or progesterone-only minipills. They don't contain enough hormones to do the job. Remember, you're taking the birth control pill to develop the milk making apparatus of your breasts, not for contraception. Like Lalle said, you take an active pill each day, no sugar pills. And because you are taking the bcp for your breasts, not to control menses, you can start at any time. In your case, the sooner the better.
And please be sure to find a board certified lactation consultant to help you with the breastfeeding basics and to learn how to use a supplementer should you need to in the beginning. You can find a board certified lactation consultant here
