I'm 5'6, almost 200lbs (solid) and i have one child. For the most part i am in shape but when i was breastfeeding (5yrss ago) my ob told me to go on birthcontrol. I was concernec that it would interupt my milk flow but he told me it wouldnt. So i had to be on orth low for about 2 weeks and i had no stimulation and no production at all. I was worrying and my doc told me to keep breastfeeding that if i kept breastfeeding it would come down (milk stimulation). But it didnt. I kept on feeding and feeding while my baby was getting frustrated, so i had to put him on formula. I tried breast pumps and all. Before ortho my milk flow was real good. I was a 36b before becoming pregnant and a 38c after birth. Now i am a 34b (not good)

Question, My milk production was real good b4 i started the pills, and even though my breast were a 36b, they were a real good size. Then when they grew to 38c I had so many shooting pains and my breast would hurt all the time. So i know i had very goo production back then. Do you think i would be able to still have good production of adipose tissue (fat cells) and lobe stimulation and growth since i did years ago? Or maybe not because it was such a long time ago. I dont know. I just want to start out on the right path. I have not done anything yet. But i want to start nbe

What goes around Comes around

Hi MEG,

One thing about NBE is that there is no telling just how a woman will respond. It is not so much that you have had good milk production in the past, it is more about what your hormonal situation is in the present that will help or hinder you.

That you have been larger before typically helps with growth. For example, suction method seems to work better for those women who have been pregnant before.

Check out the Newcomer's section from the main menu. That should give you some information to work with. Be prepared to read and research a whole lot. Those that do this usually choose a better program more tailored to their body and lifestyle and have a better chance of growth. It takes time and dedication - months and years to achieve goals.
