Pumping to increase supply

How long does it take until you notice a difference? When Leah was a newborn I was doing it but did not notice any increase after 3 or 4 days...so I just quit because the nursing, bottle making, bottle feeding, bottle washing, pumping, pump part washing was waaaaaaaaaaaay to much for me with no results.

If you did this - what was your pump-to-increase-supply procedure and when did you stop?

I'm pretty sure I have AF right now (but I just got the Mirena a couple of weeks ago so i guess it could be related to that) so I think that could be affecting my supply.

    I have read about the power pumping - on 10 min, off 10 min for 1 hour.  But I have never tried it.  Once dd dropped the 11:30/midnight feeding, I moved it to a 10:30ish pump as extra.  It originally built my freezer stash, and now it keeps me about even.  But the most important part is I feel it keeps my 8pm nursing session fuller.
