I second the info about taking it with Blessed Thistle. For many women it works fine alone, but when the two compounds are used together it causes both to work much better than they would have alone.

I'm not sure if fenugreek may cause stomach aches, but truly - anything can have a side effect. Check out www.kellymom.com about fenugreek, she usually has really great up to date info on her site!

To help with supply, be sure to keep hydrated and maybe add oatmeal to your day.

I was taking fenugreek pills and those were making my LO super gassy and constipated so stopped taking them and started Healthy nursing tea that helped with my supply as well as no digestive issues in my baby.

You could try Mother's Milk tea instead. Maybe in liquid form it would be easier on your stomach? If you are trying to increase milk production/quality there are lots of other great ways to do it as well. I have some awesome recipes. Message me if you want them!

It is usually taken in conjunction with Blessed Thistle. Are you taking those herbs simultaneously? That might make a difference. And you should be drinking tons of water.
