I used Fenugreek part of the time I was pumping. For me, it wasn't so much that I was coming up really short, it was more that it gave me enough of a boost that I didn't have to worry. I knew I could get by on 2 pumps a day instead of stressing about fitting a third one in. I was glad that worked for me, but I know it doesn't work for everyone.
I didn't have any trouble using the Fenugreek to get a bit of a boost while I was pumping. I know some babies can have tummy troubles when it passes through to the milk, but fortunately my DS did great.
