My experiment - 10/02/02 05:14 AM
Hi, all!
I did a little experiment to see how my breasts are coming along on the protocol. I am currently on day 155 of the protocol, and I tried pumping with my PIS tonight. I pumped both breasts at the same time, for 20 minutes. I started on the minimum suction, but it didn't seem to be doing much so I turned it up a little, but not too much. I could see the drips running into the bottles, and after 20 minutes I had probably a 1/4 teaspoon total between both breasts!
This was my first time, ever, using a pump, so I am not sure if I had everything positioned right. But it seemed okay. I am sure that is something I will pick up with practice. I may try one more time, on Saturday morning, to see what happens. Otherwise, I will be waiting for December, or our next baby, to start pumping for real! Just wanted to share my progress.
