Okay my problem is this: I have only been massaging the smaller breast and have been taking my pills religiously everyday since I started...which hasn't been too long ago. I was seeing some fullness in the smaller breast and it began to look as though it was catching up with the larger one... But now it seems as though the larger of the 2 has taken off and the smaller doesn't come close anymore. The one thing that I don't understand is why it is outgrowing the smaller one when I have not been massaging it. Does this make sense???/ I just don't wanna feel deformed anymore...lol... Is there something that I am doing wrong? I tend to massage every 2 hours or so and for maybe a few minutes. And I do massage inward, which really did help in the beginning..but what happened to my catching up? I know massage is important, but why is the one without massage growing and the one I am massaging at a stand still??? I could understand this better if there was no growth, but there has been...so why is this one-sided??? Any ideas? Kelly

Hi Kell, My best guess...the pills are taking effect. Maybe when you are satisfied, and stop taking herbs, then concentrate massage on the smaller boob only. Since you are taking the pills, it WILL work on both. Also keep doing what you are now, massaging just the smaller one. Hopefully it will continue to catch up, more than likely BOTH grew, just the bigger one appears to have outdone the smaller one. GROWTH IS GROWTH! Congrats!

Thanks Momi...I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. I will continue to massage the smaller one only and see what happens! I have seen posts of using heat also...I am wondering should I start this also? And if so, how long? I will wait to try it until tonight, but didn't have a clue how long to sit with a heating pad on my chest ;D... I also assume that I should only apply the heat to the smaller one? Sorry to bug u with all these questions ... Thanks again... , Kelly

Hi Princess26, I had almost the same thing happen to me, except my right breast had no reaction and my left breast had a huge reaction . Happily, I have reached what I want to be my limit on the left side, but needed the right side to catch up...I was still less than an A and looking very deformed. Just a couple weeks ago, I stopped using internal herbs and have used just extracts and essential oils on the right breast with message and heat whenever possible. It seems to be working. I used Princessgraces's suggestion with Ylang Ylang, Geranium plus other phytos. I usually message and use heat for just a couple minutes. Also, I am currently waiting to see if it permanent or not...not just luteal, which it shouldn't be...and which I should know in about a week and will be posting the update. Good luck, and take care.

Hi Kelly, YEP, use that heat. But don't over do it! Heat setting should depend on the top you are wearing, if wearing a heavy shirt, "high", lightweight "low", you don't want to cook dem boobies. And no more than 15-30 mins. I apply heat 1x daily. It's SO relaxing. And YEP apply to the Lil' Guy!
