Sudden drop in supply?

Hi ladies,

 I was hoping that you could help me figure out what might be causing a sudden drop in supply. I work FT and pump three times a day while I'm away from my LO (who is almost 6 months old).

Usually my first morning pump I'll get 3-4 ounces on one side and 4-5 on the other (nicknamed the super boob). After that, the non-super boob side will give me 2-3 during the other pumping sessions.

Today I've struggled to get an ounce on the that side during my sessions. I felt around and don't seem to have any plugged ducts that I can find. The other side seems to be pumping mostly normal.

I'm not due for a visit from AF for another 7-10 days. I've been getting over a cold for about a week now, so I'm not on any medications.

ETA: I replaced the valves on my pump after my first session this morning. Suction seems to be fine on both sides.

Any thoughts that you might have would be greatly appreciated.


TIA!
