"Diary" of sorts about my induction journey

Random thoughts? Weekly progress? Who knows. I still haven't entirely decided how much I want to share since its quite a personal thing but also want to share experiences with others trying to induce and talk to people that get it

  • 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
