[QUOTE="tigger, post: 1241024, member: 11023"] [USER=115728]@ArtemisBow[/USER] i also started a pump at 10 weeks pregnant but no one gave me that advice so i did basal test while pregnant. I haven't done it while breastfeedimg as i come from a religion with occasional fasts and know from others that the fasts tend to mean you have less milk the following 2 days which is why most breastfeeding women receive get outs from them. What i did do when i was having problems if you look on this board a while back is write 5 days of results down in chart form and from that I could identify the occasional low was not so one off and spot trends.
