I started taking domperidone in March when we started waiting to be matched. I was doing the regular protocol. We were matched with an emom who was due August 9, so I only did the BC and dom together for about four months. I started pumping six weeks before the due date. After six weeks I was pumping about 20 oz a day and had about 600 oz stored in the freezer. The adoption fell through and I weaned myself over a few weeks.
Looking back I would not have changed a thing. I have a big head start for when we do adopt our baby in the future. Pumping did add another dynamic to our failed adoption, however. I'm guessing I'm just saying this because it is a reality for some people. I don't want to discourage you at all. If and when we are matched with another emom, I will start pumping again because I think it is a great thing to do for several reasons. That being said, I feel like I'm reminded of the failed adoption every time I open the freezer.
