I also have the More Milk Plus and my hospital grade pump all ready to go. My last BCP will be tomorrow. So I guess I'll start pumping on Tuesday. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

Fenugreek 3caps 3x daily and Blessed Thistle same 3 caps 3x daily. That is per Lenore's instruction.

OP Gnusgal member G Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 17 Texas	Thanks! I'll stop by Central Market tomorrow and pick up some fenugreek, then. Just wanted to update. Today was my first day of herbs and pumping... I didn't really expect anything, but actually got several drops out of each breast (more from the right than the left)! I was very pleasantly surprised! And I'm thinking it's my imagination, but my breasts have been tingling off and on today. Hopefully this is a good sign? Thanks again for all the advice!

At this rate, I'm confident I'll be good to go when my babies arrive. It's such a relief to know that even without the domperidone I can do this!

OP Gnusgal member G Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 17 Texas	New update... My OB has had me stop all herbs because I started having heart palpitations. I am hoping that stopping the herbs will take care of it, but not lower my supply. I am up to 2.5 oz per day. I've noticed that I produce almost twice as much on the right side than I do on the left. Anyone have any tricks for stimulating more milk from the lower producing side? Niki in TX IM expecting TWINS 7/2/09 (or sooner) matched with a WONDERFUL GS!
