Well my DH picked up some fenugreek from super walmart, they have large bottles of the herb for like 4 bucks a bottle, so if anyone else wants to try it I would recommend checking them out to buy it cheap. So far it has given me gas, lots of farts, and when I burped I tasted maple syrup. So lots of fun so far. LOL.
It will be worth it if it gets my supply up though.
I am pumping because my twins are in the NICU and my twin girl had to be switched to formula because I couldn't keep up with the 2 of their nutritional needs anymore with pumping. I am struggling to keep my supply up now and when I pump I get anywhere from 1.5 ounces up to 4 ounces with both breasts combined. Lately it seems like my supply is getting lower so I am looking for a way to increase it or at least maintain it. Trying to pump and keep my supply up in addition to running back and forth to the NICU is exhausting to say the least, but I do the best I can.
I will be sure to come back in a couple of days to let you girls know how the fenu greek worked for me.
Yeah, I love it! It works within 24hrs, but you have to take like 3capsules 3 times a day... And it makes you smell like maple syrup!
Thanks for sharing your experience with it!!
I am glad it worked for you!!
I am going to give it a try and I have started today.
It can cause gas and fussiness for baby....you can ask for reglan script from you doc but the only side effect can be depression so ask your doc and also there is domperidone! All the best in this journey Wanna and also do you think you have low supply?
Thanks for sharing your experience with it.
I think I am going to try the natural herbal remedy first and see how it goes before going the RX route.I am pumping because my twins are in the NICU and my twin girl had to be switched to formula because I couldn't keep up with the 2 of their nutritional needs anymore with pumping.

I am not thrilled with the gas side effect for baby possibility and i will have to watch and see how my twin son does with it, and if it is to much then I will have to back off of it i suppose. I already have gas on it and I just started it today.
Does anyone know if its okay if you have gallbladder/ liver issues? Would love to make more for the boys and cut out more formula but I was just told my liver is enlarged and gallbladder needs to come out.
I haven't heard of it affecting any major organs. Here are the side effects they listed on Web MD and a link to it.. Good luck with it if you decide to try it.
