I'd call them and let them know. Did you get it through insurance? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208621 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:43:21 +0000 78h2o 1208621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that really sucks. I've always had a crappy supply, so I understand the anxiety about anything happening that can make it worse. Back when I was getting ~8 oz a day at work, I forget my pump parts and had to hand express (my post - <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap)" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crap)</a>. I actually ended up getting about 10 oz, it was just more time consuming because I couldn't really multi-task. Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208591 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:33:06 +0000 Adira 1208591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!!! Having my pump croak out on me at work is one of my fears!! I can't believe it's happening to you! Booo!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208580 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:30:21 +0000 mrskc 1208580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: oh no! always taking everything apart and putting it back together works for me. I would call Ameda. I've heard they have excellent customer service and would probably send you a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208578 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:27:55 +0000 .twist. 1208578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh nooo!

I tried unplugging it, tried disassembling the flanges...I don't know what else to try! I even took a couple min break, tried different suction levels... nada! </p> <p>@MarieJ: Sorta? My supply is so low that it's extremely hard for me to hand express anything. I don't get engorged at all anymore. I'll still try it later in the bathroom, but I don't know how much good it'll do :(</p> <p>@bunnylove08: I wish :( Today is like, the one day of the week I can't leave my office because I have too much going on :/ I may beg my boss to let me skip out for half an hour and run home, but I don't know if I can!</p> <p>@pregnantbee: Me too! I've had zero problems with the other one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208510 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:55:45 +0000 dojo 1208510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man. That sucks! :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208495 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:51:20 +0000 mrskc 1208495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Ameda acts up at times. Did you try unplugging and waiting 5 seconds? Sometimes just unplugging the tubes and plugging back it gets it working. When you unplug the tubes and put your finger where they go into the pump, do you feel suction? </p> <p>Also it could be your membranes or valves need to be changed out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208491 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:50:04 +0000 MarieJ 1208491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry :( That sucks. Could you hand express in the mean time until you get home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208488 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:49:41 +0000 bunnylove08 1208488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man that sucks! can you buy a hand pump for today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208486 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:49:30 +0000 pregnantbee 1208486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooo. That stinks! Glad you have another, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-just-died-at-work-wahhh#post-1208479 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:47:43 +0000 Bookish 1208479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ARG! My Ameda Purely Yours just crapped out on me. It was acting funky last Thurs/Fri, but I thought it was warped flanges...so I brought a new set...and now it's dying. The suction keeps sputtering and dying out. </p> <p>Of all days!! I can't leave work today because I have meetings all stinking day, so yeah... this stinks.</p> <p>My supply sucks to begin with, and this isn't helping!!! I'm so glad I have one at home that works, so I'll just have to start carting it to work every day! </p> <p>Stupid Monday!!! </p>
