Dumb AF/BF ?

This is really dumb, because I should know this. I know that around AF, your supply can drop. Well, I haven't actually had AF, but I feel PMS type symptoms once a month. Can my supply still drop in response to an invisible AF? I'm really hoping that's the reason that I've dropped 2oz/day. I just pumped 6 times today and couldn't get out a full 16oz to cover the 4 bottles used while I was at work (stupid conferences). My poor nipples are turning purple!

    Kind of wondering the same thing.  Last week I felt very PMS-y and my supply took a dramatic hit.  For the first time we are more formula than BF. I don't like that feeling.

    Ouch. That sucks! I lost 2 oz to a bottle leak once and I wanted to cry.  Sorry :(

    I know exactly what you mean. My supply drops around the time I cramp/bloat etc but no AF. I guess it is our hormones going a bit wacky and lowering our supply like AF would. I am no doctor. It gets on my nerves though! :P

    Have you tried fenugreek? That stuff is crazy. I took 3 pills a day for a week and I had so much milk I didn't know what to do with it all. I had to cut back to one pill.

    I'm considering it. I'm afraid of it messing with LO and making him gassy. I know the flax made him gassy. I guess it's worth a shot, and then quitting if we discover ill results!

    I have wondered the exact same thing.  For the past few months I have had PMS symptoms, but no AF.  This month I had a dramatic decrease in supply for a few days and then rebounded around the same time I was feeling PMSy.  It feels like each month I get more and more AF symptoms, so I wonder if it's my body's gradual recovery of my cycle.

    The invisible period! I have been wondering what to call it. I swear I get symptoms like AF is coming, including a couple oz drop in supply a day, and it never comes.
