    Sudafed, mint tea. But be careful going cold turkey - mastitis and blocked ducts are a bitch!

    Do you ladies know if you should gradually reduce the sessions in addition to Sudafed and cabbage leaves? I'm just wondering if by still pumping plus using the other things will work because one way you're trying to stop but by still pumping your body is still making more. I am willing to gradually slow down. So if I usually do 15min total pumping each session day two would be 14min each session..ect for two weeks probably??

    When I weaned from pumping and nursing I had to do it one session at a time and it took me a week or two to eliminate each session.
    My TTC History:
    2009: missed miscarriage #1 at 9 weeks (trisomy 16)
    2010: Infertility
    2011: Diagnosis and treatment (low sperm count, anastrozole for DH, clomid for me + IUI)
    2012: Baby #1
    2014: Baby #2
    October 2015: missed miscarriage #2 at 11 weeks (trisomy 22)
    March 2016 BFP#5, due November 2016.
