Go back to stimulation mode for a few, maybe listen to videos of baby cooing and look at pics. Think about how it feels when they nurse. Listen to something else you find relaxing. Inhale, exhale, make sure you're physically comfortable. It can take a few sometimes

so I e been going back to stimulation mode at the 10 minute mark and then back to expression mode after a couple of minutes. Is that what you mean? Or am I doing it incorrectly?

I start stimulation, wait for milk to spray, expression until it stops spraying, stimulation until it sprays again (or I can kinda feel like it's about to start spraying) then back to expression. It's not so much about timing, just what's going on with the milk flow if that makes sense. It takes time to get into a rhythm. Don't give up! But going back and forth is correct. Just pay attention to your nipples lol. I usually flash my phone flash light so I can see whats going on

It may take longer than a set number of minutes to trigger a letdown. - everyone is different

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
