I have been on compounded Dom since DD was 3 weeks old. Two weeks ago, I learned that my doctor put me on the dosage for GI issues--10mg 3x a day. I've spent the last month & a half on too little! I'm upset & frustrated and hoping that its not too late for me to hopefully increase my supply.
The IBCLC's suspect IGT. My breasts are not tubular and the intramammary gap is less than 1". However, I never became engorged, I don't feel a letdown and I had minimal breast growth during pregnancy (despite taking progesterone supplements from weeks 5-10. The prog was prescribed because my level dropped from 21 to 14 in week 5 & I'd already experienced 2 miscarriages). I use an SNS & Lactaid, she only gets 1 bottle in the evening.
Yesterday, my shipment of Dom arrived and I started taking 30mg 3x a day. I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic. Should I mentally prepare myself for the Dom to not help? Has anyone else not felt engorged or a letdown UNTIL they went on Dom? Is there a way to find out for certain if I have IGT?
