My health visitor has recommended I take fenugreek to boost my supply. I've started taking 2x 600mg capsules with each meal (the bottle says 1-2 capsules). If you took it, how did you know it was/wasn't working? Also how much did you take and how long for?

For me it started working on the second day into the third. As soon as I started to smell like maple syrup is when I also noticed an increase. The stronger the odor the more its working maybe?

I take 2 pills 3-4 times a day. If you smell like maple syrup, it's enough! I take it combined with Domperidone, so I'm not sure how much is attributed to just the Fenugreek.

Yep, maple syrup smell. You can take more than the bottle says. It is often more effective in combination with other herbs like blessed thistle.

I took 2 pills 2x a day and smelled sooo gross! It didn't work at all for me, unfortunately, so I hope you have more luck!!
-
I finished almost a whole giant bottle and never smelled like maple syrup! I kept taking it cause of that actually. I did notice more milk though

I took 3 pills 3X/day and didn't smell like maple syrup but I did notice that lo started to spit up more so I stopped after about a week. Pumping more has been the only way for me to boost supply.
