It's never too late honey but I thought you'd decided to do combination?? How's that going for you??

Like MM said hun, it's never oo late. The easiest way is to ask your doc for script for Domperidone. You may also find that if you in crease your fluids and slowly decrease your top up volume your body should automatically step up.

Do you take any supplements at all?

Oh sweetie you are in a no win situation then. The only way to increase your supply back up is to stop the top ups and thats not an option for you. I think you just need to accept this is how it is. Weve been over what you need to do so many times now - I dont know what else to suggest
