Anyone take Fenugreek?

How long did it take for you to get more milk? How much more did you get? I just started taking it yesterday, and I was just wondering. TIA!

  • I started taking it yesterday too. I have also been bf and pumping every two hours! I am hoping all this hard work will increase my milk supply!

    It worked for me.  I started out at 3 pills 3x a day with no result, but after moving it up to 4 pills 3x a day I saw an increase by day 2.  I went from 1 oz per pumping session to 4 oz.

    If you can't smell it faintly on your skin, then you're not taking enough. I recently upped my dose to 3 3 x a day and also started taking the same dose of blessed thistle and I'm noticing some improvement after taking all of that for just under a week.
  • didn't do anything for me. i had results with more milk plus
  • I just started on Fenugreek 3x3. I took More Milk Plus 2x3, but I didn't feel there was much of a difference.  I too have heard that if you don't notice that maple syrup smell coming from your perspiration, you're not taking enough.
