How often are you having to pump. 3 oz, once or twice a day really isn't that much so while you may feel fuller and haeavier, it's nowhere near the amount that most women have filled up with that left them a little floppy afterward.
most women are use to either feeding or pumping about every four hours and sometimes more and we're talking 6 yo 10 oz each session if that will put it into perspective for you on why our breast are just plain exhausted by the time it's said and done. LOL
I'm thinking if it's only 3 ounces or so, then you probably won't have a huge issue with changes when you get it cleared up. I would definately not encourage it with actual pumping to get breast milk out. If you are able to use the noogleberry without pulling down the milk then it won't matter one way or another. Your breast will only make the milk they think is being required of them. meaning, however much you express out and how often, they automatically make that amount and a bit more the next time. It's like it's own internal timer. So, the less you express the less they will make, which might get a little uncomfortable.
I would be curious as to what aspect of your regement has lead to this, be it the BO or your hormone disorder. It is a curious thing how this has worked. You know there are come men out there that they featured on the news that have recently begun actually trying to produce milk because they want to be able to breast feed their children. They would probably be green with envy right now if they knew about you!
