How quickly did you smell like maple syrup when taking fenugreek?

awisern · January 2012

I've been taking fenugreek for about a month now and have never had the infamous maple syrup smell. I was taking 3 pills 3 times a day. Today I upped it to 4 pills each of the two times I've taken it so far today and I keep getting a slight hint of a sweet smell, so I'm wondering if it's the beginning of smelling like maple syrup.

Did you notice the smell right away or was it a gradual thing? As much as I don't want to smell like maple syrup, if taking the 4 pills 3 times a day achieves that and helps to increase my supply, then I'm all for it!

I smelled like maple syrup after just taking one pill. I took it before bed and smelled like syrup by the time I woke up in the morning. My guess is, if you don't smell like it now, you probably won't. :-)

I take 4 pills 3x per day and still don't smell like maple syrup...I heard that it doesn't work unless you smell like maple syrup. Might be why I still have supply issues and have had to start supplementing with formula...
