Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Bleeding- How much. How long?

Punky, it will not affect the outcome.

THanks Lalle - that's all I need to hear. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I'm very relieved.

Nope. I bled all the way through the protocol and brought in over 30 ounces per day.

Best,

Hello I started the regular protocol on Thursday and I was just wondering it says that your breast will be larger after the first week and when you start the domperidone 2 tablets 4 times a day is that when I will start to feel more of a change I know it will not happen over night but I thought I would start feeling things by now and I am not a small woman with my PCOS I am a little overweight and is the 20mg domperidone going to be enough for me to be able to produce milk? And when you said that you bleed Lenore is that you had a period ever month or did you bleed every day of the protocol? By the way hope you had an enjoyable time on your boat ride I think I will have more questions as I go on but that is all I have for now Thanks Tia

Tia, you say you started the protocol, but then you mention the dom. You are taking both the yasmin and dom right now, correct? Because you are supposed to be taking the Yasmin and taking the dom working up to 20g 4 times a day. (80mg of dom total for the day)
As for your question you don't need to add in any more dom just because you are larger. That is the dose everyone takes. If you follow the protocol you should have good results. There is no way to predict how much milk you will produce. The best way to ensure the most success with milk production is to stay the course with the protocol and when it comes time to pump be totally committed to your pumping schedule.

Lalle I am doing the regular protocol there was nothing in it that said about yasmin that is the accelerated not the regular and yes I am taking domperidone and tomorrow I start taking 2 every 4 times do I need the yasmin in the regular protocol I did not read that but I could have missed it!! Thanks for addressing this now my next question is about bleeding how much and for what period of time I have been bleeding for the whole time and from last month but I am just curious. And one more q1uestion what is the easiest way to get domperidone? I got 675 tabs from a woman in Texas but that was all that she had thanks Tia

Tia, both protocols use the Yasmin. The only difference is that withthe accelerated the time is shorter than the regular. As far as how long you stay on it. You need to reread the protocol again. You need to be taking the Yasmin and the dom to mimic a pregnancy. This is how you trick your body into producing milk. When you do the regular protocol you stay on both the Yasmin and dom until your baby is in sight. Then you stop taking the Yasmin (now your body thinks you have given birth) Continue the dom add the herbs and start pumping.

If you are bleeding right now like that it doesn't have anything to do with the protocol. It is the Yasmin that can make you have some bleeding throughout and you are not taking that yet. Hope that clears it up for you. I would really suggest that you read the protocol again just to be sure you understand it fully.

Oh and as for the domperidone I found the easiest way for me was to get it through Global drug in New Zealand

Lalle I did reread the regular protocol and all that is says about is the active birth control pill and I am on it and I am also under the care of an IBCLC and she read the protocol too and nothing was said about yasmin. Unless the birth control pill and Yasmin are the same thing?! But if I have to be on yasmin I will talk to my IBCLC and is it available here in the United States?? Thanks I will try to check messages tomorrow as I use my computer at work and am off for the nest couple of days Thanks Tia

yes, Yasmin is the BCP and you can get that at gobal drug, as well.
