I'm a Fenugreek Addict

After I was sick and my milk supply dropped significantly (basically vanished), I had heard of fenugreek being used for this so I started taking it. And I don't want to stop! It has this side effect... it makes you smell sweet... like maple syrup! The first time I took it I had eaten oatmeal for breakfast and thought I was tasting the brown sugar but hoping it was the pills... and it was. Now that my milk supply is finally reestablished (it took forever) I can't get myself to stop taking it. Because now when I sweat, I smell like pancakes... tell me, would you want to quit?

That is pretty funny. I may want to start taking it so I smell like pancakes!!!

Hi Jasmin!
I had to use this too! It was the craziest thing to smell like Maple all of the time. I was so glad it had a nice smell-it could have been much worse!
I was very skeptical about it increasing milk supply but it worked for me.
Hope you are all doing well.
