Ok, I bit the bullet and am posting pics. I don't know how soon they will show up.
I am not a very good photographer, and I had to take these holding the camera myself. I am very self conscious, so please be kind. I have nursed 5 children, and been trying be for a few months now. I started with some weak product, but had some growth, the first pics are after I had a bout a 1/2 inch growth.
I am now filling out my bras, and two I had to get rid of because they were too tight (darn!!!)...
but I can't see any difference in the pics???
Next on my list is to adjust what I am taking for estrogen dominance, and giving Ripplu bras a chance to reshape a bit.
Ok…I am going to revamp my program. Since reading here I took two days off at the beginning of my cycle, and just did some cleansing herbs like milk thistle. When I restarted my herbs, I started low, and worked up until I got tingles…which really brought me back where I was…so I see that I need a higher dose of what I am taking to get it to work. I am currently using Natureday tincture and pills, and wonderup cream, along with vitex, and a few add ins like ginko etc.
I am almost out of wonderup cream…and in researching the ingredients of products (thanks to that wonderful resource that was posted) I realized that all that I am taking and what I desire to add on is found in wonderup. (blessed thistle etc.)
I did a cost analysis for what it would cost me to do individual herbs (discounted cost) as opposed to WU…it wasn’t totally mg for mg…but it gave me a good idea. So I ordered some WU because I think it has what I want, all together rather than tons of dif pills. I am still going to add Vitex and SP to help with the slight estrogen dominance thing.
So..my program at this point has looked like:
Upon rising
EmergenC
Collagen
Blessed Thistle
Saw Palmetto
Gingko Biloba
Wonderup cream and massage
Then in the afternoon I take
Natureday (for me that is 6 dropperfuls to get any tingling I split it into two doses)
Borage oil
Maca
Collagen
Bedtime I take
2nd dose of ND
Gaba
I also take Salmon oil and a prenatal vitamin (I had some left over from my last pregnancy, and I figure there is stuff in there to help tissue building etc.)
And I am on an antidepressant and lithium.
When I get my WU I am going to take a break for a few days, doing blessed thistle and other cleansers, and restart with a low dose working up if I need to. Also I will be able to cut out the Blessed T, and Gingko B. But I am going to add in some DIM. I will keep the ND to use as my maintenance pills when I achieve my goal size.
When I restart I will post on the programs page...then I'll be committed and official.
check the black and white pictures, girl, and you will notice the difference. you are filling out on top, and the one to the right (which would be your left boob) is starting to get some lift. your right boob (the one on the left!) is inflating...
so your bras do not decieve you, you are growing!!
Thanks so much. It gives me so much encouragement. I am going to try to find a totally pre NBE photo...and see if I can scan and post it. I think I have more growth than I am aware of. I just tried on a bra from way before NBE and couldn't even stuff it all in. Granted, I am chubbier now, but....I still could latch the band...
I see more fullness too. I don't know if herbs have the same effect as BO, but on BB's site they say that mothers who have nursed fill out before seeing actual growth, so this may be what's happening to you. I know exactly what you mean about laying down and they disapear, it's a nice feeling to have them fill out in that way again. I agree with everyone else, you shouldn't measure so much, I don't think that anyone has grown an inch overnight. When you get the urge to measure, do 10 pushups.
I think I may throw in some cocoa butter or maybe some scar cream...I had really good results with scar cream on my stretch marks on my tummy... Looks like I have stretch marks still on my poor boobies...Of course they did get to be a 40D when I was nursing the second child...when my milk came in they looked like footballs! LOL! I was an A cup when I went to bed and woke up with a D!!! My husbands eyes popped out....WoW! he said....
Sure would like to get that expression again someday.....
Thanks Sissy...lol..
Yes..pushups. I am incorporating them in my morning routine. I have very weak chest muscles...I cannot even do a "real" pushup yet...never have been able too...but ya know old dogs can learn new tricks. I intend to live my life to the fullest. I will be 35 this year, but feel like I have lived ages...since I have that brood of wonderful kids...I love learning new things...and intend to someday do a real pushup...and when I can I'll post a pic cuz I bet the muscle will help some boost!!! LOL
Thanks for being kind about my pics. I was very scared posting them.
Ok, I'll admit that I am only up to 4 real manly pushups, then I do the chick ones. I figure by late spring I'll be able to do a couple Rocky Balboa ones, (yes, I really am aiming to do those, always wanted to but never could)
I know it's hard to post pictures, and notice that mine aren't there yet, but I need to get them taken if anything for myself. I feel that I have an obligation to post them, since others who did is what convinced me that it can work. I too have the marks from the big D's I had while nursing, mine actually are alot like yours. I've been wanting to try emu oil, I heard it helps. -- Sissy
Golly girl, your starting size is tons bigger than my size afer almost a year's hard slogging away at NBE, so you've got a good head start....or should I say, boob start.
Lolz @ growing from an A to a D over night. That must have been quite a surprise....heh heh!!
Yeah...I found an old pic of way before...but it is so tiny I can't get it to scan...I definately had growth before I took those pics because I used to wear a 34 A. I still don't know how much is just "chub"...we will see because I am on a little of a diet right now...and lots of exercise.
Sooo...I am encouraged that this works! Just finding the right combo...I added milk thistle as I mentioned , and Saw Palm. four days age, and these past two days I have had tons of tingles and heaviness....yeah....I hope to post more pics when I get a serious change.
