9 months in - boosting supply

So since the last week my pump has been on the fritz and I wasn't sure till yesterday, but as a result my supply has been tanking. I have a hospital grade pump for a week till my replacement comes for the ameda PY and I want to get the most out of it to try and get my supply back up. I've been taking fenugreek so that seems to be helping now that I can actually get milk out during the day, but how often should I pump over the weekend (I never do) to get things ramped back up so to speak. And for how long? Normally I pump for 20-30 min b/c thats just how long it takes me, but this pump is like... wow. Its an ameda platinum. I don't want to end up w/ a crazy oversupply, but I'd like to get back to being able to pump 12 oz at my 3 work sessions during the week. Some extra wouldn't be bad to rebuild my freezer stock too.
