Hey girls, I still come here regularly to check how you are all doing. Planning on my 2nd Brava cycle in september and can't wait to start! Hope I will have some good company this fall like last winter.

I have been thinking about something Eluisa said a while back (can't find the post) but I remember her saying that she thought that the Brava growth did not come gradually but in spurts (right words?). I think she may be on to something. After 5-6 weeks I suddenly had growth which I didn't notice before and after 12 weeks I really didn't grow any more so I stopped. Maybe if I had continued longer I would have gotten another spurt later on. What do girls you think? If she is right I might aim for 20 weeks this winter.

I think it does come in spurts too. I noticed a spurt at 7 weeks and another at 13 weeks. I went to 18 weeks and had no noticeable change from week 14-week 18.

Elusia, I think the swelling definitely comes in spurts, like two weeks ago, I seemed nowhere near filling my large wides, and suddenly they're squeezed full. I think the swelling and the growth aren't the same thing though. I think that although I have fluctuations in swelling due to things like my period, wear-times etc, and breakthroughs in swelling and length of retention, the growth is just plodding along ultra slowly. What makes me think this? Well, on different occasions, when I've seemingly had 'breakthroughs in growth' if I've had to leave the domes off for a longer length of time for whatever reason, it's given me a big reality check. Those babies have shrunk right back down to barely an inch and a half from their starting point. But, I'm only ten weeks in, who knows, maybe I'll suddenly get three inches of permanent growth at week 12 (wishful thinking!)
