XP: Fenugreekers, a ? for you

I never heard of this stuff before coming to this board, and I want
to give it a try. I had my mom buy me some, and the label (obviously)
states that if pregnant or nursing, contact physician. Now I know most
of you ladies aren't doctors, but is there a reason I should call her?
I won't be able to get a hold of her until Tues, and I wanted to get
started now. Did anyone NOT contact their doc before taking? Also,
about how long until it takes effect, and can you physically tell a
difference (notice engorgement more often than before taking??) DD is
eating more than I am pumping, now that I am back to work, and I don't
want to resort to formula quite yet.
TIA!

I take 9 per day, 3 at each meal to see results. I get twice as much as before in 48 hours. Also make sure you are drinking 1/2 your body weight in water. Not eating mint or sage etc...
read kellymom.com for other things you should and should not be doing to help your supply.
The first dr I talked to about breastfeeding (male) fled the room in horror. The next one (female) said she lived by Kellymom.com. I feel pretty comfortable using it. I started off using just a little. I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. As long as you know you aren't pregnant, start at a low dose and roll with it. I only use it during the week of my period.
