Jessica,
IMO the pumping is the most important part and the reason why many women do quite well with this system (rather than the hormones).  Is she anticipating adopting a newborn? If so, why not wait until the baby is placed and have a babymoon with a baby rather than a pump.

She read in the protocol that when she stops the OCP she should have a "honeymoon" and pump every 2 hrs, the idea being to mimic the frequent nursing of a newborn during the time that her body experiences a drop in progestin.  She is concerned that she won't be able to do that logistically.  (Needs to start the pumping while still working.)
