I'm starting week 3 and already getting the type of swelling I got at week 6 on the first round.
Meant to mention that I'm using the size 5 domes I ordered rather than progressing through sizes 2-4 like last time. To wear both domes on my narrow chest at the same time w/o causing pressure/pain on the ribs and/or blisters, I have to place one dome higher than the other.
I'm also sticking to sleeping upright rather than on my back to avoid possible sternum pain. It seemed I got better projection sitting up and better fullness lying down, but I don't think it mattered when I pumped the first time. I'll just focus on comfort while pumping this time.
As an aside, I forgot how much I didn't like that heavy breast feeling and look right after taking the domes off at this size swelling, and I've got a longer way to go this time. I might decrease hours if it gets too uncomfortable.
Also going to decrease hours (for now) on the bigger breast by 2 hours rather than 1 - so 12 on one side, 14 on the other. Both breasts look even after I remove the domes, but once it's time to put them back on, I see a slight difference in size.
