Fenugreek/Blessed Thistle

I'm taking a crap load of Fenugreek a day (4 pills 3x a day) and it's not doing much for my supply. I'm pumping 3 times a day to just get 8 oz. Has anyone noticed a difference by combining blessed thistle with fenugreek?

    I haven't tried the supplements individually but I use the Nursing Support Tea by Yogi Teas when my supply takes a dip and it helps a lot.  I find that if I make a big pot - 32 ounces using 6 tea bags and drink it throughout the day it really helps - usually within 24 hours.  I'm not sure if it's the combination of herbs or the extra hydration - but I'm glad it helps.

    I use Fenugreek, blessed thistle and brewer's yeast pills.  It has helped my supply...I don't know exactly how much, but I was having to supplement with formula and the past 7 days she has had only  breast milk.

    Fanugreek has worked for me, also drinking lots of water makes a big difference. I know, super simple and yet it makes a difference. I have tried mother's milk but could not stand the taste long enough to notice if it works. Short, frequent pumping sessions also help me when my supply is dipping. Thankfully I haven't had to supplement yet.
