Hi Ladies!
I'm thrilled to have found this board - it's so hard to do BE alone, especially when half the world thinks you're crazy for trying in the first place!
I've been attempting BE for the past five years - mainly through hypnosis - I'd give it a month or two, get frustrated and quit. Now I am in it for the long haul - I am dedicating 2004 to be my year to grow boobs!
I started again with herbs and hypnosis on December 1, 2003. So far, I experienced some swelling and tenderness before my period, but my breasts have deflated to their original size.
After reading the posts, I am a little confused about the correct herb ruitine for me. I would REALLY appreciate some feedback from you experienced BE'ers!!!
MY STATS:
Age: 25
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 105-107
Stats: 31-24-34.5
Bra Size: 32AA
Body Type: Nurturer
Blood Type: Unknown, probably an O
Birth Control: Ortho Cyclen (EE 35 mcg, Norgestimate .25 mg)
I was originally taking:
Saw Palmetto 540 mg x 4
Dong Quai 500 mg x2
Fennel: 480 mg x 4
Wild Yam: 500 mg x 4
(these doses were divided by 2 and taken morning and night.)
After reading posts here, it seems that I may have too much progesterone in my system considering my BC pill and total lack of PMS symptoms.
So, should I get rid of the Wild Yam and add Red Clover? Do my other doses sound right? I'm guessing I don't need the Dong Quai. I am trying to stay away from Fenugreek because a friend told me I smelled like Indian food!!
Ideas, feedback? I would appreciate it sooooo much! I should add that I am a dancer, so I am quite thin. I mostly dance when I perform or teach, which probably adds up to about 3-4 hours/week of aerobic activity.
Thanks a million, ladies, for all the insights you've already contributed to this board! It's a goldmine!

P.S. Happy Holidays!

It is also a phyto-estrogen, so it provides 2 for 1 good things for BE.
