Hi there.
I love that you have acknowledged food and also the risks of herbs.
Absolutely the herbs may interfere with your birth control. And absolutely do NOT take 2-5 different herbs at high dosages.
I jumped in head first taking not even high doses but I mixed up many herbs and ended up with the following over the past 17 months.
Irregular periods
HEAVY bleeding
Depression
mood swings
Unproportional weight gain
Eye problems
And lastly but most serious mixing herbs I KNEW had caused me problems in the past but stupidly took them again and ended up in hospital.
So if you are under even 22 don't use herbs and if you are older then research till the cows come home over what effects herbs might have on you if you don't need them. They may create a problem that never existed in the first place if you don't understand how they work.
What I'd try first and what I WOULD have done had I not been soo silly is to try foods first. Don't go overboard of course. You seem really intelligent anyway so use your discretion to the dietary guides on here. Also check out Noni's thread and see what wonderful results she got from massage alone
You can invest in a breast pump too. I'd say try all the natural foods combined with massages first and see how you go.
If you plan to mix anything with any sort of birth control ask your doctor too.
Good luck
