Milk Supply and Fenugreek Questions

My DD is almost 4 weeks old and I started taking Fenugreek when she was about a week old because my milk wasn't coming in very fast. It worked immediately and I was so happy with the result that I have been scared to stop it. I also drink Mother's Milk tea occasionally. The Mother's Milk tea has Fenugreek in it also. Is it possible to overdose on Fenugreek?

I want to start pumping tomorrow to try and build an emergency supply. I am SAH and not going back to work but I'm paranoid about not having a back up supply if an emergency happens where I can't nurse.

My question is how do I wean off the Fenugreek? Do I need to stay on it for my supply to stay up? Since Im starting to pump tomorrow, should I stay on it for a while? I am confused on if its something you take temporarily to boost supply or if you stay on it the whole time your BFing?

Any advice would be great. Thanks!
