Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply I have milk!!

Oh my gosh, I have drops! I have no idea what possessed me to squeeze while I was getting dressed, but I did and giant drops of milk came out of both nipples!! I'm assuming I should continue with the Provera until I'm due to start pumping in November... or should I stop it now and start pumping?

I'm especially excited because I had a breast lift last year and wasn't sure if they would work!!

So excited!

Congrats! Now stop touching them! I would continue with the Provera until November and start pumping when you intended to. It's best to be on the protocol as long as possible.

Agree with Claudia. It is important not to squeeze or try to get milk while you are on the preparation part of the protocol.

Ha! Ok, I will leave them alone! Since I'm already making milk, I wasn't sure what was more important... more time on the protocol or more time on the pump. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

You want the glands to build up more. That is why time on the protocol is important. You might make a little milk at any point (some women can get drops of milk months, even years after they stop bf), but to make more milk, you need to build the glands and breast tissue.
