Goats Rue, Domperidone, etc: How long b4 they work? When to give up?

I don't actually know where this post goes... so, I hope it goes in this section.

How long (on average) does it take these herbs to work and get supply UP?

I actually went back to work and had a reduction in my supply... not to mention, I forgot to take some of the supplements (sigh)... so now, I feel like I have to start all over. (grrrr) But, in the 4 weeks that I did take these herbs, I only noticed a small increase in my supply... but at least I felt it in my breasts (happy about that).

So, how long did it take for you to get your milk supply up when taking these supplements? Did the herbs really work for you?

Of course, I've been doing the SNS & pumping... I will continue taking the herbs more regularly again... but I just want to know how long before I should give up?

I'm going to move this to our Breastfeeding Challenges forum.

I know that DPD can take up to 6 weeks to increase supply, so hopefully you're still hanging in there!

And if I only see a minor increase in supply, should I continue even though I still need to supplement?

Should I get the dosage increased? Then, how long do I wait after that?

What have others done...
