I saw declines when I wasn't drinking enough. I probably drink 120-150 ounces of water/juice a day. I've had 2 periods since, but so far so good.

I never saw a decline in my supply. My friends only saw a decline when they got their period back.

Around 7 months, after I got my period and also when the babe started eating solids. Until then I was overproducing and had stored a lot extra. So I managed to make it to a year pumping at work and without supplementing, and now I still nurse my babe in the morning, afternoon and night.

I started noticing a decline when I went back to work and was just pumping during the day. Also, when I don't drink enough water.

@thehistoryofus - I have to eat ALL day too - I'm always hungry.

I felt like I had milk coming out the wazoo for the first 3-4 months. Now I'm less likely to get engorged but there's still decent amount of milk. I don't have much freezer supply and was worried about getting enough for baby when I do go to work because I hardly ever pump now that she has solids but it hasn't been a problem (I don't go into work often though). And boobs still respond to feedback. She was pretty much night weaned for several months. Then she started waking and now I make milk again at night.

I never had a large supply to begin with but was able to stash away some frozen milk. I had to use some from time to time to keep up wit LO's demand. I had a noticeable decrease around the 9 month mark. I was only pumping at most 4 oz (mostly 3 oz) every 3-4 hours..but once 9 months hit, I was getting 2 oz every 3-4 hours. It could have been stress-related as well.
