I usually have 18-20 ozs by noon but I only have 0.25 ounces for the day. What the fudge...I checked my pump, tried a new set of parts, switched to another pumping bra, heat compresses, massage and NOTHING.
I didn't feel stressed this morning but I am stressed now!

Never THAT bad. Do you feel engorged? There must be something going on with your pump.

I do but never that bad. Sometimes let down can take me 20+ min to achieve...and if it takes too long I might not achieve it before going back to my desk. I'll get around 8'oz in the morning usually but maybe 2-3 if I can't let down. I usually add a session if that happens and I more than catch up. Only time it was really bad was when I was dehydrated post-food poisoning .

I did when I first went back to work... like 5-10oz less depending on the day for the first few weeks... also when AF came back at 4.5 monthspp...and also when I was sick.
power pumping always got me going back to making JUST enough of what DS needed

Do you have a clogged duct maybe? Those always dampen my production. Hate that!!

@autumnlove: I have had one or two. It was DEFINITELY stress related in my case.

@beaker: I tested yesterday...one BFP on a Wondfo and BFN on a digital! Not sure if I should retest? My Wondfo expired 12/2013 so I am convinced it is wrong.

@beaker: LOL! I'm pretty sure its not a BFP....and I don't want to use another digital. 
I have some Wondfos arriving later today and I will retest.
Hope my milk decides to come back!

@beaker: Ok, I'm working at home and I retested a few mins ago...negative! I wonder if I have a clogged duct that I can't feel? Ahhhhh

This happened to me around when my LO was 9 months. I usually get about 12 oz ( in 2 sessions) and one day I got 6 oz total. I was home for a few days with my LO and didn't think about and just nursed normally and every day I have pumped since I have only gotten 6 oz total. My LO is gaining fine, so my dr said not to worry, but I have started giving my LO a 4 oz bottle of formula to make up for it-I tell my husband it's her multivitamin shake 
hopefully it's just a fluke!
