Fenugreek... did it work for you?

  I drink 3 cups of Yogi tea each work day (riding in, at lunch, before bed), and it contains fenugreek. It has definitely helped my supply!
   No clue about the capsules, though.

  i took it and i think it made a huge difference. I took three pills three times a day on recommedation of a friend who had used it with success. After my supply rebounded I have continued to take three pills once a day to maintain.  I got the GNC brand and also from there I take the mother's milk tea once a day. I tried another brand called milkmaid tea that my DH found at a grocery store but I didn't think it worked as well.  GL

  oh and I only noticed a faint maple syrup smell maybe once for the few months i have been taking it

  I took three pills three times a day for about two weeks and noticed an increase in supply within a couple days.  I did smell slightly of maple syrup, but only when I was sweating.  Once my supply was up again I weaned off and haven't taken any since and my supply is still good.

  I take 2 capsules in the morning, 2 at lunch, which is within the dosage amt. on the bottle.  I have noticed it makes a difference at that dosage, and I was a total nonbeliever.

  And no, I don't smell like maple syrup.

  I took it but it gave DS really bad gas and caused him a LOT of pain- he was miserable the days I took it until I finally realized that the fenugreek was the cause.  Once I stopped, he went back to normal, so just watch out if your LO shows any signs of discomfort.

  I use milkmaid tea and had been getting great results up until about two months ago.  So my response is mixed.  Now that I hear someone else saying it didn't work as well as other products, I'm wondering if that's the issue... hmmm...but anyway, I did 3 cups a day for 3 days and notice a major increase.
