Hi, I've been reading through the forums and have to admit that I'm very confused, so I thought I would start a new post asking for help.
I'm 35, with 3 kids, naturally pretty thin, with weight that stays between 114 and 120 most of the time. Right now I'm 117. My breasts have always been small, currently I'm a not very full 34B.. actually if they sold bras like this, I'd be a 33.5A/B because an A cup is too tight but a B cup is too loose. I have a broad chest but not very much to fill in the cup, if you can understand what I mean?
My mom always told me I'd get bigger once I had kids but with each one I grew to around a 36 or 38 C but went right back down once I was done breastfeeding.
I've thought a lot about getting plastic surgery but I'm just not comfortable with the idea of something fake... so I figured, either I'll find a natural way to increase my bust size or I'll call it a day and be happy the way I am now.
I guess the only other thing I think that might matter is each time I've been pregnant, I've suffered from extended morning (all day) sickness and in the final pregnancy, I was diagnosed with depression. As far as I can tell, whatever major hormones kick in with early pregnancy make me depressed and I don't start to feel normal again until late in the 7th month or so. I'm great and full of energy again immediately after giving birth and have always lost the baby weight within 8 or 12 weeks.
Oh, and if it matters, I've always had naturally short periods of 3 or 4 days even when I wasn't on b-control. I never had PMS until lately, but over the last couple of years I've definitely started to have extreme moodiness (weepiness/unreasonable anger) the week before my period starts. So if anything is likely to make that or the depression I have during pregnancy happen again, then I guess I'll have to be happy with being small, because I don't want to feel bad all the time, ya know?
I was wondering... if I do find a combination that works, will I have to take it FOREVER? And will any of this make me extra fertile? Cause I think I'm extra fertile without much help since I had my last child AFTER having being sterilized. So I don't want anything that might make that another occurrence... :)
Take a look at this page and start perusing the site. Especially look at their testimonials.

There are some additions to this such as a good daily multivitamin containing a B complex, good resistance exercise, borage oil, and getting the herbs in directly through the skin my massaging them in.
I've spent some time on the Greenbush site and more time reading the forum and looking at other people's programs. I'm afraid to start with all the suggested ones on the Greenbush site because, as I mentioned before, I know how easily my hormones can get out of wack and push me into depression. I've been praying on it and I think I will start by using the PM... something led me to that right before I found this site and I've been looking at Mel C.'s program because her starting pictures look JUST like how I look right now, and then I was surprised to see that she's been taking the PM and having results with it. So I'm going to try that, massage, increasing my B-complex and... well, I think there's one more thing I'm going to need but I haven't felt a sense of confirmation about it yet... maybe fenugreek? Still praying on that one (which might sound crazy but I'm pretty spiritual that way... I prayed about this yesterday and was like "God" I don't want to have surgery, you have to show me a way for this to happen without it and today I found this site!).
Can you tell me (or anyone else if Wahaika is too busy) what Fenugreek does? My "feeling" is that I need to increase my estrogen but not too much increase on the progesterone if I want to avoid becoming depressed again (like in pregnancy).
Thanks for the advice and really, thanks to everyone who posts here so that someone like me can find all this wonderful advice and encouragement just when I thought there wasn't anything that would help me!
Hey girl,I was reading this post and find it interesting that you pray on things,too.I did the same thing.I did not want surgery,either.My mom had it done 22 years ago,but back then,it truly was her last resort,as natural NBE just was not mainstream and there was no internet to research this.It amazes me still to this day that doctors say there is absolutely NO WAY to increase breast size but through surgery,when clearly there is a natural way.Many options at that.It is a relief to know that you decided against this.My husband's friend just recently paid $5000 to get his wife's done,and boy,is he just sick to death to know that I am getting bigger au naturale without the high cost and high risk.Now I get to borrow money to go back to school and start my career that I meant to finish 18 years ago.I,too have 3 kids and the oldest one has made me a grandma-to-be.
As far as the Fenugreek goes,Wahaika,Moon,and Waxing Moon would be able to give more detailed info to you,but I will try.It is an estrogenic herb,pretty darn potent.It has been used since ancient times and is proven to make women to be more buxom,according to some articles I have read.It has lots of other benefits as well.I have hypoglycemia and used to take it years ago,but it made me feel like crap.Because of this forum,I now know why.It can lower blood sugar levels.I knew it was very beneficial to NBE,but I had to figure out the right dose and method for me to incorporate it into my routine because like you,I prayed on it and knew I had to find a way.I take this in the form of tea,as it is not too strong of a dose that way.I do most of the time drink the tea after my protein shake.I know I am not taking the optimal dose,but it does work well with my base program and along with the other things I take.I drink it in the form of Bustea recipe by Dr.James Duke.You can find this recipe online at The Green Pharmacy or you can buy it pre-made and bagged at Greenbush Herbs.I know you have probably researched this,but just wanted to let you know.I do go to my local health food store and purchase the individual herbs and wrap it up in a coffee filter with a twist tie and then boil this.I drink it about twice a day.
