New.. need advice

[Misty]

Hello every one my name is Misty. I am 21 years old. I have a 3 year old son that I breast fed for about 5 months. Weight gain, stretch marks and boobie lossage has devistated me. So I have decided to try BE. Before finding this forum I ordered eXPansive (they give full refund if not sat after 90 days). After doing some reading on this forum I think that the dosages may be way to small.

Fenugreek 220 mg
Saw Palmetto 350 mg
Fennel 200 mg
L-Tyrosine 130 mg
Wild Yam 200 mg
Kelp 90 mg
Damiana leaf 50 mg
Dong Quai 50 mg
Mother's Wart 48 mg
Blessed Thistle 150 mg

Body type: Communicator
Blood type; B+
175 lbs, 5'10"

Any suggestions would be appriciated as to if I should be taking more than this. I have noticed a huge amount of fatigue since taking them. Should I just stick with this until my body gets used to it?

Im also in the process of getting some Geranium, fennel and ylang-ylang oil to assist in my boobie batter that I will use twice a day. I do dry massages everytime I go to the restroom. And will apply the heat for 30 minutes in the evening after second boobie batter is applied.

I know that you guys stress that different things work for different people. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing anything majorly wrong.

Hello Misty,

Yep, your dosages are way too small and some of them conflict with each other in some ways.

First, I would go here:
www.greenbush.net/hargirbrease.html
and soak up the entire site. It is full of good information.

Next, I would recommend the 90 day kit along with some other additions. See Pammy's Routine and Madredesiete's routine for further information. These have more info on what & how to massage and what has worked for others. Madredesiete's routine (read the messages at the end of that thread for the latest routine) is my wife's routine and it works well for her. The Borage oil as part of the massage has worked out especially well.

Everyone is different, as you will hear. My opinion is that the staple four herbs (Fenugreek, Fennel, Wild Yam, and Saw Palmetto) work the best but at different dosages for each individual. The theory on that is on her thread but in a nutshell, the end dosage is determined by slowly (S-L-O-W-L-Y) ramping up the herbs and evaluating their effect as you go. When you start feeling the growing sensations (aches, itching) you know you have hit your lower limit.

Be sure and do all steps in the routines - internal herbs, massages with external herbs and heat, infusions of fenugreek/fennel 2 X per day. It is all important.

If any more questions, just ask.

P.S. If you are not though having children yoiu might want to put this off. Life is short, but not that short. Good luck!

[glow=teal,2,300]Welcome to the Board! ;D[/glow]

YUP! Dem dosages are way too low! You should be on at least 1.5g daily of fenugreek. 2-3g SP, 1.5g Fennel, 1.5 WY. The rest are just "bonus" L-tyrosine will help keep your temps up. ;D Again, the average dosage is 500mg daily if needed.

Well between this board and another member IMing me its a definate that my dosages are way to low. Thank goodness that my first bottle of eXPansive was free. I will call them in the morning and cancel any future shipments. Today I went to puritan.com and bought alot of stuff. They are having a buy 1 get 2 free sale. So i have about 21 bottles comming in the mail. And I dont think that the price was too bad either. Only 82.00. So now I will do the individual herbs at a much higher dosage. I just wanted to say thanks for the help. Once I have recieved my shipment and began my routine. I will post it in the "routine" section. I am taking weekly pictures as well so I hope to "see" some progress in the next two months according to my P.
