If your taking Fenugreek...

theaustins05 · July 2011

I have a few questions:

1) Did you experience any side effects? (I heard it causes loose stools, ew!)
2) How long did it take to start working for you?
3) How much are you taking?
4) Would you recommend capsules, tea, powder, or seeds?

i take 2 capsules a day (and eat oatmeal for breakfast and drink mother's milk tea 3x a day and drink lots of water) and i have noticed a difference in the amount i pump. not sure which of the above or if all of them have helped, but something has. i haven't noticed any side effects at all.

I take two a day max, it really has an effect on my supply. I notice a huge difference with it. I recommend starting small and working your way up to the max dose if you need it.

It worked right away for me, and I didn't experience any side effects.

The only thing I've noticed is my sweat smells like maple syrup

2) How long did it take to start working for you?
2 or 3 days
3) How much are you taking?
I take 2-3 pills, 3 times a day. It depends on how well I've been able to eat or drink during the day - if poorly, I take a few extra pills
4) Would you recommend capsules, tea, powder, or seeds?
I like the ease of the pills

I take 2 pills 3 times a day.

It took about 3 days before I noticed a difference in supply.

I smell like maple syrup which my husband (who has a syrup obsession) loves.

What brand do you use of the capsules?

calm_angel_2003 · July 2011

1) Did you experience any side effects? (I heard it causes loose stools, ew!) yes, come to think of it, i think it does cause looser stools. nothing major. and i feel like it causes some 'more than normal' gas. no biggie.

2) How long did it take to start working for you? i think i saw results in about 24 hours.

3) How much are you taking? i'm following the dosage instructions on the bottle, which is 2 capsules, 3x a day. but offhand, i don't know how many milligrams the capsules are.

4) Would you recommend capsules, tea, powder, or seeds? i've only tried capsules. tea and powder both seem really inconvenient.

I took 2 capsules, 3 times a day for several weeks. I didn't notice any side effects but I didn't really notice any results either. But I seem to be the exception.

This exactly.

I was taking the 'more milk' or whatever it's called from Whole Foods wth blessed thistle in it. I took 2 pills 3 times daily and just finished 60 pills. I did have the loose stools and gas, and didn't see any increase in production. I've also been eating oatmeal, having a few dark beers, and drinking a ton of water. No matter what when I pump my body produces about an ounce and hour, so LO is getting a little more than 24 ounces of BM a day and the rest formula.
