Started April 2002
Beginning size: 32B
Presents size: 32DD (or 30F depending on size chart)
First time I took these for 3 months:
Fenugreek-500mg, 2 pills 3xdaily (to equal 3000mg daily)
Saw Palmetto-500mg, 2 pills 3xdaily (3000mg daily)
Wild Yam-500mg, 2 pills 3xdaily (3000mg daily)
EPO (Evening Primros Oil)-1000mg 3xdaily (3000mg daily)
Flax Seed Oil-1000mg 3xdaily (3000mg daily)
Got off BE July 2002, off for 6 months, was between sizes C/D (mostly D), wanted to go up a bit, got back on BE taking this:
Fenugreek-2000mg daily
Saw Palmetto-2500mg daily
EPO-3000mg daily
Flax Seed Oil-2000mg daily
tried damiana for a bit, didn't notice difference, so quit.
Got off July 2003, only 1/2" drop in growth, size is still DD/DDD (or E/F) size.
Update 12-19-03:
Since July have went on a body toning quest, was pretty successful losing some inches all over. Present size DD. Been off herbs 5 months.
Update March 6th, 2004:
Have been losing all over with the t-tapp, so have been going between a full D/small DD depending on TOM. Been off all herbs for about 8 months now.

Would also like to add a massage cream that I've found to work well and is pretty easy.
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5-10 capsules Evening Primrose Oil, capsules broken open and using the oil inside
1 dropper full Fennel extract
Use enough of this concoction to massage skin with. I've found this makes the skin so soft, stays well oiled for the massaging and works great with heat added after massaging. Soaks in over night and totally absorbed by morning.

Updater: It's been 9 months now since I got off all BE. Was measuring around 38" (up to 38 1/2" before AF) before got off BE, now it's between 37"-37 1/2" (depending on TOM and whether stress has me slimming down, goes up and down). Still wearing both 32D/DD's. Have updated pics (and this time after AF, so no swelling there) at photos.yahoo.com/pammyboat if anyone wanted to check out how it goes after BE is done. Still have skin to fill, but not sure if I'll ever get back on BE. I gotta hand to you all that are on the roller coaster, hats off!!! Hang in there  |

Wow! I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I started on this adventure. I like to update ever so often, so here goes:
Mixed feelings here, so take this all with a grain of salt, okay? I no longer know what size I am since I quit wearing a bra some 5 months now. It got to be so painful and miserable that I've totally thrown them out. That's a whole different discussion.
I did measure, though, and underbust is 28 1/4" and over is 38", whatever size that is. It's been bout a year and half now, totally off everything. Still have the growth.
Size-wise... I'm not totally convinced bigger is better. I'll probably be flogged for that statement, so let me clarify. For myself, I found that the increased size perhaps enhanced the difficulties I dealt with monthly. Am seeking alternatives. Ditching the bra helped. And no, they have not sagged any more than they already were. Actually, they are sitting better on my chest wall than before. Confidence to deal with that is hard in coming, considering they stick out further than they used to. It's been 3 years nearly, and I'm still dealing with the size.
Anyways, that's the update from this end. Mixed and confused. That's it from here. Laterz all....

Hey Pammy:
I can certainly relate to what you are saying!! Although I have not reached your size yet, I find that it has been forever that I have actually worn a bra. I sometimes wear a cameo support bra (although it doesn't fit me well), it relieves some of the pressure on my shoulders.
I have fibro and have had it since I was 16, particularily bad in my shoulders. I don't know if it was any different in my shoulders before my increase.
The interesting thing is though I still want more!!! I have a large rib cage and I don't really look much bigger
(maybe just in my eyes I don't know?).
When I finish my BE (going on break, using just MP Cream, then may try MP internal for awhile and see what happens).
When I have finally finished with my BE I may invest in a "Just my Size Bra"- right name??.
Pammy have you looked into any custom fit support bras to help?
Hippychick

Wow. I hope the same can happen for me.
I am taking:
two 500mg fenugreek seed caps 3x a day. (3000mg)
one 160 mg saw palmetto extract cap 2x a day. (320mg)
1 tsp of flax oil 1x a day.
2 massages daily of lotion and fenugreek seed.
I like your routine because it is similar to the one I am starting. I have a few questions, if you don't mind.
I currently workout a lot, usually 6 or more times a week. 4 days a week I weight train, the other times I do cardio. What do you suggest?
How many teaspoons of flax are you taking?
How many teaspoons of evening primrose are you taking?
Do you take saw palmetto extract or berries?
Do you take the herbs with meal? I eat breakfast when I wake up everymorning, and I eat right before I go to sleep, what should I do?
Thanks!

how did you know which herbs to take? as many as the women here have, i have read a lot about all of the herbs, and i realize that these seem to be pretty popular. did you just decide through trial and error? or are they really the best to use?

I'm with duckling. I'm having a difficult time figuring out which herbs "fit" my hormones. I think I might be estrogen dominant, but not even sure and I'm on BC.

Water doesn't mix with oil! And the extracts contain water. |

pammy. why do you feel that bigger is not always better? do you not wear a bra because of the health concerns?
