So, it's been about a week and a half on the Dom, Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle - and I smell. My skin (and especially my under arms) smell. I'm really starting to get paranoid about it - I'm constantly asking DH to smell me. How many others are experiencing this? What are you doing about it?

Can anyone offer any kind of critique to my pumping/meds schedule? I'm getting a little discouraged....I was hoping to at least have gotten a few drops of milk by now - and nothing! mad

So, I'm on:
40 mg Dom - 4 times a day (sometimes I forget to take one of the doses though)
3 Fenugreek - 3 times per day (9 in total)
3 Blessed Thistle - 3 times per day (9 in total)

I'm pumping 3 to 4 times a day for 20 minutes.

Thanks

Do you smell sweet like Maple syrup? That is from the fenugreek. I got used to it but my older boys couldn't stand it. LOL AS for the pumping you need to up the number of times you are pumping. 8 is the goal or at least every 3 hours, build up to that. When you do that you will see more milk.
