Just picked up a bottle of 610mg 3x daily and wondering based on others experience when I may notice a difference in my milk supply

Re: how long does it take fenugreek to work?

  • How much did you take? I've seen so many current recommendations, typically double the dosage on the bottle or more
  • I took it while I was pumping for my son and I honestly never saw an increase I'm my supply. The only thing that boosted my supply was taking Reglan.
  • Where can I find fenugreek? It takes me forever and a day to pump my daughter at least 5 ounces.
  • I found it at Wal-Mart and the pharmacist said it was the right stuff. About $5 for a hundred capsules. I don't think I've heard of reglan, what is it and where do you get it djoliet?
  • Thank you!

    It has to be prescribed. I've heard Domperidone works even better than Reglan but you can't get it in the US. I'VE known a few mom's who have bought it online from Canada

    I got a prescription for Domperidone from my midwife and was able to order it online (sent a copy of my rx). It took 2 weeks to get it. I just started yesterday so I don't know if it will work yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

  • Not to be gross , but didn't anyone else get gas from it ? I just started it today .... And whoa .... :(
  • I've heard general stomach upset and diarrhea can be a side effect until you're body gets used to it
