I bet that was the hindrance. pregnantbee on "Is this a me problem or a pump problem?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-me-problem-or-a-pump-problem#post-999303 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:31:20 +0000 pregnantbee 999303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I was gonna suggest new membranes like @grizz: did above! And doublecheck flange size for the right fit. autumnlove on "Is this a me problem or a pump problem?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-me-problem-or-a-pump-problem#post-999197 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:03:57 +0000 autumnlove 999197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would wait and see how your next session goes...then check your pump parts! Good luck! :-) cheert16 on "Is this a me problem or a pump problem?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-me-problem-or-a-pump-problem#post-999191 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:01:38 +0000 cheert16 999191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had the same thing happen to me- I replaced the membranes and got smaller flanges (my chest has gone down a bit since my initial engorgement after having DS) and I am back to pumping my usual amount!

I had a tiny rip in one of mine and was getting almost nothing on that side! lomom on "Is this a me problem or a pump problem?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-me-problem-or-a-pump-problem#post-999088 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 10:32:54 +0000 lomom 999088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a PISA and generally pump for 20 minutes and get 5oz. Today I've been pumping for nearly an hour and barely have 4oz. I don't feel empty! If I do compressions, more comes out but the pump, on the highest suction, doesn't seem to be getting it out. I've tried hitting the letdown button throughout, which helps a little. I don't feel any pain in my breasts, they're not hot, red, or sore. I'm feeling exhausted but I really don't think it's mastitis or a plugged duct or anything like that. But my pump isn't making funny noises or anything like that. It seems like its functioning normally but it's really taking forever! What the heck is going on??
