Our emom is due June 28th I started the dom and BC last Wednesday March 10th. What is more important being on the BC longer and pumping closer to the due date or stopping BC at 6 weeks before the due date and pumping for 6 weeks before? If I begin pumping 6 weeks before the due date I will have been on the BC for 10 weeks. Is that long enough? Copy Link to Clipboard

I was on it for about the same period of time and I'm up to about 1.5 ounces per pumping session. (some times less) Although I increased my dom when I seemed to get stuck at 1 ounce per session. I started pumping early though in case our birth mom went into labor early. I've been pumping for 4 weeks now. But to answer your question I'd stay on the BCP at least 2 months if not the entire 10 weeks. Last edited by hvnsnt; 03/15/10 03:19 PM.
