Fenugreek.. Did it help you?

[RainbowBaby13]

for those who have used fenugreek how much did it boost your supply and how long did it take for you to notice a difference? how many capsules did you take?

My milk supply is so low because I stopped breastfeeding but want to start up again. I noticed a slight increase but want to boost it up to where it use to be so I don't have to supplement anymore. If I could just breastfeed him that would be awesome. I know it won't happen over night but just breastfeeding is my goal. I stopped because my supply dropped and was having latching problems.

Thanks in advance

Go for it! I took Fenugreek with my daughter, I think 3 or 4 capsules? Like 3 times a day? It helped me a ton!

You have to take several capsules a day. I'm pretty sure I took around 10-12/day. I heard that the way to tell you are taking enough is when it makes your urine smell like maple syrup.

What worked better for me was More Milk Plus. I took the liquid and mixed it with about 2oz of orange juice since it takes nasty.

Yep, it worked for me. I think my magic number was 8 capsules a day.

Sorry, no, it didn't help me. My supply has always been too low. I started with six capsules a day, then increased to nine a day.

Thank you so much guys!! I took one like maybe a hour or so ago and I can already tell a difference! Didn't expect to see a change but I after reading some comments on another site I figured i would start tonight since I bought the pills later in the evening. So glad it's working! And sorry to those that it didn't help. There is a product called milky and mothers milk tea that I heard good things about. Thank you again

It can decrease the supply in some women, I don't know if it is thyroid related. So I wouldn't just jump to 8 pills in one go, although if it does work for you (without negative effects I mean) pp above me was right in that you're supposed to smell of maple syrup xxx

Oh wow, how interesting, as I have thyroid problems and didn't know this. Can you provide a source? I'd love to learn more.

I have no source, I found out through fb breast reduction forums. Since I had a breast reduction I really need to use all I can get. And have just learned from some of these womens experience that they had negative effects, and someone said it was related to thyroid. I could try to find a source though
