I’m gonna start posting monthly updates because that’s something I searched for when I first started!

Never pregnant, 23 years old, no birth control, no dom but it’s ordered.

I pump 5-6 times during the weekdays, missing 8 hours for work but using tens for 20 mins every 1 or 2 hours. On the weekends I pump 8 or more times, with my boyfriend suckling occasionally only on the weekends. I pump once a night and if I can, twice. I pump for 15-20 minutes every time, and hand express the rest out afterwards.

I started out with cloudy duct drops once a day from one boob, other boob added duct drops in multiple places after a week and a half, once a day as well. They only showed after my shower at the end of the day. The third week they showed up almost every time I pumped, the fourth week they started to disappear and have almost completely disappeared now. I know this is normal, I’m a little discouraged but I know this is a part of the process and I’m still very early in. The drops that do show up now are not salty anymore, not sweet, but creamy.

I have taken cash cow twice a day since I started, sunflower lecithin twice a day - only because I have had five or sick horrible painful rock solid oval shaped lumps in each boob since I started and I can say now that they are becoming softer, less painful, and moving towards my nipples. I drink at least ten or more cups of water a day. My boobs have gotten wider on the outside and on my areoles are much darker, my nipples are wider, and longer when they get hard
