This is what I get for trying to achieve balance.

 DH said he'd take baby duty on Thursday nights and I can do whatever I want.  So after dinner I thawed a bag of BM so DH could put DS down and left to go to the gym.   Came back, took a shower, and sat down to relax/pump.  But my boobs won't let down!  WTF?????   They're so full they hurt but I can't get anything out of them.  I just changed the membranes on my pump in case that was the problem, but still...nothing.  What do I do?

are you getting suction from your pump and no letdown or no suction at all on your pump?

There is suction, just no letdown. 

Maybe I need a glass of wine, lol.

I would try some warm compress or hand massaging and locking yourself in a room to relax.  Sounds like you're body is tensing up from being engorged possibly. 

A glass of wine sound good too

did you wear a tight sports bra at the gym? that will slow your letdown. good luck!

i find massaging the boob while it's attached to the pump helps thing considerably.
