4 months agoBrand of the pump: NCVI
Model of the pump: 8100
Pros: Not very loud, good suction, looks cute
Cons: the duckbill valves seem to fall off easily
Regrets/Advice/Info I wish I knew before buying/Any additional info, if any: when you attach the tubing to the motor, don’t push in too hard, I did that the first time putting it together and it made a loud crunching sound 😬 I was worried I broke it but it worked fine
So after having some confusion and trouble getting my doctor to understand and be supportive… I’ve decided on a plan I think. As of right now I’m 2 weeks into my induction journey and what I’ve been doing is pumping, taking Fenugreek supplements, eating oatmeal everyday, and drinking alot more water. So far I’ve noticed slight breast swelling, a feeling of heaviness/fullness, some stabbies, more prominent montgomery glands and veins.
What I’m planning to do now is a modified Newman-Goldfarb Protocol without domperidone. Its possible I might be able to get domperidone in the future but I don’t have it yet and don’t have any guarantee I’ll be able to so I’m trying to do the protocol without it. Basically for 3 months I’ll take combination birth control I’ve been prescribed (estrogen/progesterone), no pumping but some massaging to (hopefully) help the tissue develop. And then after 3 months switch to a progesterone only birth control and start pumping again. I’ll try to track progress but I’m thinking these 3 months might be uneventful and boring
