Hey guys,
Just thought I'd see how things are going for all of you out there who are ABF...
Things are going well for us - I have now been nursing K for 15 months or so. I am weaning off the dom and herbs (down to 50 mg of dom and 6 tabs of fenugreek) and things are going well. No decrease in milk supply so far, but I am watching closely so I can get back on if need be. We still nurse ALOT during the day - upon waking then around 11, then after nap and at bedtime. I just bought a nursing tank top which I am SO happy with - covers my belly and back when nursing - so nice for when we are at play groups etc.
Anyways, how is everyone else doing?

Hi Karen, Good for you that you are still going strong nursing your little guy. How is going off the dom? Have you noticed any negative effects by weaning off of it?
I am on month 2 of the Lenore/Goldfard protcol. Having some issues with breakthrough and the pill, but other than that doing fine. THere is no match in sight for us, so I am going to keep on the protocol. I have the lactaid if we would get an emergency call though. And, I have not started pumping or herbs yet....

Karyn ~ AWESOME to hear of your success! I definetly needed to hear that!!!
Inhiswill ~ I think my spotting started to slow down at about the 3mo mark after being on bcp/dom. Hopefully it will for you too!
Still on the regular protocol with bcp/dom...been about 6mo so far. I started before we were active, and probably should have waited, but hopefully I'll have a good head-start when we're placed! I also have a lact-aid waiting in the sidelines "just in case."
Can't WAIT to meet our baby!!!
Hi guys - great to hear you both are still at it - hang in there!
Inhis will - I think my supply has gone down a bit, but it is hard to tell. It is nice to not have to take so much medication - but we'll see what happens in the next month or so. I also had the breakthrough bleeding in month 2 and 3, then it went away and I haven't had AF since (1.5 years - woohoo - nobody mentions that as a benefit to b/feeding!)
BBY - I sure hope you get news soon - are you adopting domestically? And you are right - the longer you are on the protocol the better. I think I was on for about 6 months before we got our referral. There is a mom on the Ask Lenore site who pumped for TWO YEARS before they got their referral/placement - now that is dedication!
