I am now 7 days late and am not pregnant. Can nipple stimulation make your period go AWOL? I switched to the accelerated protocol today because we hope to travel within the next month and while I've seen changes in my breasts, there's no milk. Thank you for any advice you can give.

I've been bf my second daughter for 8 months and haven't gotten it. It is very normal to not get your period. Did you start taking the domperidone before you started pumping? That is usually what makes the most difference in getting some milk. Jennifer
