Sorry to hear you're having so many probs breastfeeding - I feel your pain!
I'm on motilium for low supply, and it's really helped me. I'm also expressing after most feeds and giving EBM. I like being able to give DS a little bit more, and of course the pumping helps my supply.
The other thing that I suspect has helped is taking an iron supplement (spatone), I took it for a few days, supply seemed to go up. Ran out for a few days, supply seemed to go down. Then started on it again, and supply is up again now. I did have very low iron during pg, so I wonder if the low iron was affecting my BM production.
I hope that things get smoother for you and Ava soon. DS is almost 6 weeks now, and I do feel that the persistence is starting to pay off, but it's been so very hard, and we're still struggling with the supply issue. You'll get there!!
