I wanted to give some hope to all of you on these protocols. My daughter will be born within the next three weeks, my sister is my gestational carrier. I started the regular protocol and was on the BCP and domp for six months. I stopped the pill on June 4th and started pumping on June 5th along with adding the herbs. I wanted so much to give up the first week, it was so painful and time consuming but I kept going and I am almost out of room in my freezer!! I am getting 20-25 ounces a day pumping 6 times a day. I was waking up at night to pump but I have stopped that, I plan to go back to that in about 2 weeks since she will be here soon. I just wanted to let all of you know my success - don't give up. As crazy as it sounds I am so proud of my breasts and body - finally it can do something it is supposed to do, I am SO proud that I can offer this to my baby since I couldn't carry her. I can't even wait till the day she is nursing! Please feel free to ask me any questions as I know I needed so much help when I went through all of this.
