When does supply settle down?

I think most things I've read say that supply settles at around 10 or 12 weeks. DD is 16 weeks now and I still get engorged, I still leak quite often (overnight, also while I'm feeding I leak out the other side, plus I leak if DD hasn't fed for a few hours) and I still shoot great jets of milk out if DD unlatches.
I have oversupply and a fast flow, plus I'm clearly producing a lot of milk for my little monster baby as she's put on nearly 12lbs in 16 weeks!
Has anyone else had this sort of thing? Will it settle down later, or am I stuck like this until I stop bf?

It will settle down eventually. all women are different, things may settle down and leaking stop within a few weeks, but sometimes a few months. It will get better though!

it will settle down I promise.

Is she your first? I know boobs 'remember' the next time around.. they're pretty awesome Grin

Thanks for the reassuring replies stroke and gamer, good to hear!! I hope they settle down soon, tmrw would be good Grin
Yes she is my first, so that is brilliant news that boobs will remember. I wonder if that means my second will be a mega baby too or if they will produce a slightly more modest amount of milk next time? Mysteries mysteries...
