So, you might remember that post a couple of months ago where I was going to stop pumping. That went fairly well. I had some engorgement and leaking that lasted for a week or two. I never had any leaking before, so that was weird. It seems like I would have leaked more on the domperidone, but I guess not. Eventually the pain (that I had been in various stages of for over a year) stopped. I had forgotten what it was like to not have constant pain in my boobs. Heaven!
I had been taking 90 mg of domperidone a day (3 30mg doses). Quinn stills likes to nurse first thing in the morning, so I kept taking one of my doses. I had the best response the next morning when I took it in the afternoon of the day before.
The other morning due to random circumstances that really aren't important, Quinn didn't nurse. This means that I went a day and a half without removing any milk. The engorgement came back and the pain and the leaking. I finally had to get out the hand pump last night to take the edge off. I only took out a half ounce, but that made ALL the difference.
I didn't take my pills that day because I was already feeling the milk accumulate. I thought that maybe we were going to be done with nursing. This morning, though, she wanted to nurse. It makes her so happy. How can I say no?
I didn't take my dom today, either. I'm sort of afraid that I won't have enough milk for Quinn to be happy in the am, but I guess it is getting to be time anyway. I still haven't had a period. I think it is starting to freak Megan out. I don't like the idea of being on that medication when I don't HAVE to. What with it being banned in the US and all. There is also the small issue of how there is no way that we can begin thinking about another rugrat without my system rebooting (just ask Michelle Duggar).
Sorry this was sort of scattered. Megan is picking me up soon and I don't have time to go back and fix things up.
