SDaisy:
My advice would be to pump or breastfeed, wait 2 hours, and draw a blood sample for PROLACTIN.
If prolactin levels are low (15-50 ng/mL), then your milk production problem is likely hypoprolactinemia and Domperidone would likely be beneficial. If it is higher than 50 ng/ml, say >100 ng/mL then do not use Domperidone as it is a waste of time and your low production of milk is due to some other reason.
I can't advise you on Goats rue, its an herbal of questionable efficacy.

Goats Rue and Domperidone after BCancer
Dear Dr. Hale,
I am struggling with milk supply at 8 weeks postpartum and am considering a supplement with Goats Rue and also Domperidone. However I also have a history of breast cancer 5 years ago--one breast treated with lumpectomy, chemo and radiation) --triple negative cancer stage 1A. What does the research show about the safety of the goats rue and also Domperidone, in particular as related to cancer? I believe I saw something online regarding a domepridome rat study.
Thank you
