PP Thyroiditis and BF

I am wondering how many women here have dealt with/are dealing with this and how you have/are keeping up breastmilk supply? I am currently 7weeks pp and am in the hyper stage. I'm taking 12 fenugreek a day and eating lots of fats, protein. I am also trying to add brewers yeast to pretty much everything I eat. I just ordered More Milk Plus and am hoping it will be here today. I'm making enough to get by right now but DS pretty much has to eat every hour and a half all day. He does good at night, 5ish hours depending, but I would like to be able to build an freezer stash and there is not the ability to produce it right now. I do pump after his middle of the night session, but only after that one because I'm never sure who he will want to eat again during the day, it can be every half hour sometimes... I guess I'm just looking for encouragemnt that we will get though this because it is looking like a long road ahead...

    I was hypothyroid so they increased my meds.  At 6 week check up, I was hyper so they lowered them.  I'm still pretty low, like on the border of normal and hyper.  But, I've never noticed it affecting my supply. 

    To build my stash, I only pumped right after a morning feed. Then you know you don't have to worry about when they're going to eat next so much.
