I just finished my first cycle on NBE four days ago. I did not take before pictures (and I really wish that I had done so!) But here is an abridged version of my NBE journal:

Beginning 27 May 2006

Stats:
Age: 22
Height: 5' 3.5"
Weight: 117 lbs
Body type: Athletic (I worked out a lot during middle school and high school; trained as a competitive tennis player. not good for breast development :( )

Overbust: 30"
Bust: 30.25"
Underbust: 27.5"

Bra size: 34 AAA - AA (teeny tiny!)

My cycle is 32 days long. I never knew this until starting NBE! I never used to keep track of my cycle at all.

As of 1 July 2006

Overbust: 31"
Bust: 32 3/8" - 32 1/2"
Underbust: 28"

During the luteal phase of my cycle, I was fluctuating between 33" and 33 1/4". My breasts were really swollen.

Overall, it seems that I've gained an inch in those measurements, but I have not gained weight. I am still 117 lbs and I work out regularly ( but not excessivley; that would be detrimental to NBE ). I workout to keep circulation going. I do chest excercises, but what I have gained in my chest is not only in muscle because I really do believe that I have grown! I'm actually "jiggling" up there lol

My program:

Starting out, I ramped up to

-1 500 mg Fenugreek Cap taken 3 times daily
-1 450 mg Saw Palmetto Cap taken 3 times daily
-I added 500 mg Wild Yam taken once daily, but soon lost sensations so I took it out of the program.

Massage twice daily with olive oil, borage oil, and fenugreek. I couldn't massage in the luteal phase, my breasts hurt way too much.

On FG and SP alone, I started feeling pains and aches so I kept with this for about three weeks. I then lost sensations again, so I ramped down the FG to 2 caps per day ( totaling 1000 mg FG/day ) and to my surprise, the sensations returned.

In the luteal phase, I continued with this dosage, but could not tell between growing pains or simply luteal swelling pains. But, I am positive that my breasts never hurt THAT much during any of my prior cycles! My breasts were pretty swollen during the luteal phase of my last cycle. And every morning, I would wake up with super swore feelings in my breasts!

I will continue with this dosage until I start losing the aches, then I will try to ramp up the FG back to 3 times daily.

Official Measurement starting 2nd Cycle

overbust: 31"
bust: 32"
underbust: 28"

Only one change to my program so far:

I ramped up to a higher dosage of FG; rather than 500mg per cap, I am now using 620mg per cap.

Ramping up seemed like the only reasonable thing to do since I hadn't been noticing any differences or feeling any type of sensations for a couple of weeks. So, I ramped up to four 500mg caps per day and started to feel "tingles" and aches, but I still wasn't feeling as if I was progressing with this routine and decided to not go for the full 2000mg FG per day and opted to take one cap of 620mg FG three times per day. Soon, after being on this routine for a week, I did notice sensations in my breasts and felt reassured.

So that's about it.

I'm taking a two week break.
