I thought I'd start a program page to keep up to speed with my own progress. Think I'll do weekly measurements, and post pics when I have siginificant differences (its harder to tell with pics unless there is a lot of change).
Stats:
Age: 21
Ethnicity: Mixed white and asian (Indian)
Weight: 7 stone (I'm a slender one)
Height: 5' 2" (I'm also a short one)
Current bra size: 32A/B (too big for an A, measures as a B but only just)
Starting measurements:
Over bust: 31.5
Bust: 32
Under bust: 28
Program:
3x Breast Success capsules (one at 12pm, one at 8pm, one at 12am) - fit it round work
Massage for about 10 minutes - I do my own brand of massage, basically I knead my boob in one direction, then put my hand over it so my thumb is on top and my fingers are underneath and waggle it up and down (not too rough but how it would move if you were jumping), then knead it the other direction.
I dry massage at the moment but I have bought some stuff to supplement my Breast Success pills with (as I read bad things about em - although I am seeing some results after a week, and have been feeling things in my boobs throughout). I bought a bottle of Red Clover tincture to do massages with, Fennel Capsules (500mg), Fenugreek capsules (500mg), Saw Palmetto capsules (540mg), and Wild Yam capsules (500mg). I think when these arrive I shall massage with the Red Clover and take one of each capsule plus my Breast Success pills. I shall keep you all posted.
I'm confused though, I put my measurements (before I started the pills) into a bra calculator and I got 32B now I'm a 32A again, with my both my posted measurements (which are larger). Gutted. I'm striving for those extra two centimetres.
This week I've been taking my Breast Success pills as directed, eating more (due to higher appetite - I'm blaming Fenugreek), I'm noticing that I have fuller hips, more fat just above my hips (but under my waist :-D), and also my boobs do look bigger. For the past two days I have massaged each breast for 10 minutes using cocoa butter.
Just measured myself cuz the girls were looking pretty perky today and :-D I'm not sure if I'm measuring myself consistantly but as all the measurements have gone up (plus I have REALLY bad aches at the back of my right ribcage (much like growing pains) I don't think it can all be attributed to bad measuring.
Over bust: 31.6
Bust: 32.8
Under bust: 29.2
This works out at a 34B (just!).
I don't know why Breast Success is working for me where many others have found it to be useless. I am very slight - I was about 7 stone before I started, and I'm only 5 ft 2ish, so maybe the dosage is high enough for me?
Okies, I made a big booboo with my other measurements... apparently imperial is too much for my metric brain to cope with :-S
So we shall redo my measurements...
Starting (1 week after taking BS):
Over: 31 1/2 inches or 80cm
Bust: 32 inches or 81.2 cm
Under: 28 inches or 71 cm
11 days:
Over: 32 inches or 81.2cm
Bust: 32 ½ inches or 82.5cm
Under: 28 ¾ inches or 73cm
2 weeks:
Over: 31 5/8 inches or 80.2cm
Bust: 32 ¾ inches or 83cm
Under: 29 ¼ inches or 73.9 cm
3 weeks:
Over: 31 3/8 inches or 79.7cm
Bust: 33 1/8 inches or 84cm
Under: 28 ½ inches or 72.3cm
A proper B cup now, I think. These measurements seem to give a bit of a steep increase considering I'm on BS, I'm not sure if I was measuring properly for the first two (now I make sure the tape measure is straight all the way around), I'm quite relaxed when I measure my bust and try to get the biggest measurement possible without adding anything (I try not to pull them together with the tape measure), I haven't measured at the same time everyday, and obviously there's the cycle to think of. Mine is terribly irregular so I wouldn't be able to say where I am, but I think I'm due a period very soon.
Forgot to say, I've upped my dosage of BS for the past 4 days I took 18 pills for two then Moon pointed out extract is far too strong to do that with, so I now take 9 a day. 3 morning, 3 midday, 3 at night. I try not to take them with a meal, even though it says to, because I want my body to absorb the herbs on their own rather than with all the other stuff I've eaten. I plan to carry on with 9 a day (seems to be working fine) until my separate herbs come, then I plan to include those in a new program :-)
So yesterday was my 22nd day on BS. I know it gets a bad press (especially on here) but I think its working. I'm not going to recommend it because it is horrendously overpriced when you look at the quantities but I do think I'm getting results (although I am now at triple the dosage. I have had an increase all over my boobs, although it has been up and down. Also yesterday, my period finally came so any gain could be due to my boobs swelling because of that. I'll be keeping a close eye on measurements and my cycle now.
Here are yesterday's measurements:
Over: 32 1/4 inches or 81.7cm
Bust: 33 1/4 inches or 84.3cm
Under: 28 1/8 inches or 71.3cm
Size: 32B (just) :-D
I've also added multi-vitamins and iron tablets (1 a day) to my routine, along with cod liver oil (1000mg) so my routine is now:
Morning:
3x BS
Midday:
3x BS
Multivitamin and iron tablet
Cod Liver Oil
Evening:
3x BS
I've been slacking with massage because I wanted to see if the tingles/pain/heaviness was due to my herbs or the massage. Still gets feelings so I'm guessing the herbs are doing something. I've had these feelings for the whole three weeks so I don't think it was all related to my cycle.
