Do you ever nurse your LO on one side and then pump the other side and get almost nothing? 
I woke up engorged so I thought there would be more.
My LO nursed on my right side for almost 30 minutes. Then I pumped my left side for 25 minutes and barely got 0.5 ounces! I didn't leak during feeding and my nursing pad on that side was completely dry.

Yep! I used to feed my LO one side and pump the other.

@chopsuey119: did you always get a lot of milk out of that side?

you should try pumping the other side while she is nursing, you will get so much more!

That has been happening to me this past week. I'll wake up super engorged, LO will feed from one side and I go to pump the other side expecting a good amount and I'll get less than 2 ounces.

Pump at the same time using the football hold and I always got the most of any of my pumping sessions. DePending on your babies age that may be all your producing or just the inefficiencies of the pump.
