So I EP but since the board is slower than this one I thought I'd ask my question here. My supply has decreased over the last month (hormonal IUD, started AF, pumped less at work quite a few times due to the craziness). I'm getting about 2 ounces less each pumping session.

I'm thinking of starting back up on Fenugreek and the blended thistle. Has anyone tried it this late- think it will work? I do have a script for reglan but honestly that stuff is making me so hungry--but if its whtat I gotta do to get my milk back up--its what I gotta do.

Thanks for the input!

I found around the 6-8 month mark that pumping got to be a lot harder, i think it is common for women. I started drinking mother's milk tea and 4-5 cups a day would yield about 2oz more while at work. Have you tried power pumping (the info is in the pumping forum). If fenugreek and blessed thistle worked for you before, i would use it again, can't hurt to try. also, have you changed your membranes? That can do it too.

I still use fenugreek from time to time. I respond well to it, but not the pump.
