Pumping breast milk

How much breast milk do you all manage to pump out per session? And how long does it take? I seem to be able to pump out only 30ml for both breasts and it takes about ½ hour. It’s so frustrating. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m using the Spectra M1. It doesn’t seem to be pumping out much. Most of the milk comes from me compressing my breasts. My baby is 4 weeks old fyi.

I had fenugreek and domperidone prescribed to me by my Dr. I took lactation bakes as well. And tried to stick to a regular pumping routine (3-hly). Did power pump a few times.. I was also anxious to keep up my milk supply. By the end of the first month I am yielding close to a 100ml. My bb is nearing bc 2 months and my supply has increased to about 130 ml . Perhaps try methods of all sorts
