Fenugreek - How long does it take?

Could I be seeing an increase already? I just started taking it yesterday afternoon, so I've taken four doses. I figured I would take 2 capsules 3x a day. So I've only taken two yesterday, and two today. Last night I pumped after he ate and got 3oz instead of 2, and today after being gone for a while I pumped 6oz when I usually only get 4 max. Is just because he's eating more because I think he's going through a growth spurt, or could I really be seeing an increase already?

    Maybe, I think it's 24-72 hours you're supposed get the effects.

    I talked to an LC about this on Friday.  She said it usually takes a week for it to work all the way.  I was also taking it wrong.  I apparently can't read.  You are not supposed to drink 15-20 before and after.

    And how many are you taking? 9? That seems to be the consensus, but I wanted to see if I could get away with 6.

    I am taking more milk special blend.  So it is a combo. I take the liquid form.  1ml 3 times a day.
