Hello all!
I'm very excited to start BE, but very nervous, too.
I've read through most of the posts here, and I've done a lot of research, so now I know it's possible to have real growth from herbs and supplements. I would love to go from the A 32 (I think) I am now to a full C or a D cup. I realized recently that for many years, I have been afraid to be a woman. It's hard to explain. I've always been a responsible person, but somehow, I felt safer being more girlish in my outward appearance. Some of the men I dated seemed to encourage that. Although men I have dated have, for the most part, liked small breasts, I don't like them at all. I don't feel that they express who I truly am.
I feel so good about the way I look when I wear padded bras, and I know that a natural C or D cup would look wonderful on me. I have wanted that for some time, but I didn't think it was possible without massive weight gain or surgery. I'm 5' tall, and weigh 103, but with my proportions (I'm freakishly in proportion. Most people think I'm taller than I am!) it would look great. :-)
I have suffered from low estridiol for most of my adult life. I was put on the pill (Marvelon) to give me a menstrual cycle. I lost my cycle at age 23 or so. It had been totally regular, without much PMS, during my teen years. I was exercising a lot when my cycle disappeared, but my sister lost hers at that age, too, and she wasn't exercising too much.
I found out earlier this year that I am gluten intolerant. I've been gluten free, to the best of my knowledge, for over a year. Gluten likely caused some of my hormonal problems, and my sister's, too. I have had acne for most of my adult life. Still do. I also tend to be a bit hairy. Evidence of more testosterone. Well, low estridiol. When tested, my testosterone levels weren't high. I also have a crazy sleep pattern. I'm up til 4 A.M. at least. I would like to get to sleep earlier. I don't have to get up early (i work from home) but this isn't good for hormones, etc.
I'm an A cup, but years ago, when I weighed less, I was closer to a B! And I was a B 32 in high school when I didn't weigh much more than I do now. My mother has quite large breasts, and my maternal grandmother did, too. My body is similar to my mother's, so I think I have it in me to have larger boobs. :-)
I used to do a lot of weight training, but I have cut back because I feel that led to more problems with hormones and a less feminine look than I think is optimal. Now I'm getting back into Callanetics. I love to dance, and I also enjoy walking. My body is in good shape, and I'm complimented often.
The low fat semi-vegetarian diet i was on for years messed me up as well. Now I make sure to get adequate protein from animal sources, and a good amount of healthy fat. I only eat grass-fed/organic/biodynamic meat/poultry. I eat no grains at all now. I feel better without them. Sweet potatoes are the only starch that I have currently.
It took a year after quitting Marvelon to get my cycle back. But now it's back, and somewhat regular. I purchased Flat2Fab, and last month I made a fenugreek massage oil by steeping ground fenugreek seeds in organic extra virgin olive oil and leaving the mixture in a barely warm oven for several hours. I have used the oil to do the Chi breast massage twice a day since that time. I also gained some weight deliberately. My breasts definitely increased in size, but sadly, some of it was swelling. For about a month I had swelling and soreness, but now with my menstrual cycle, my breasts are smaller. Not as small as before the weight gain, but it's disappointing.
I started doing a modified version of the Flat2Fab program a few days ago, when my menstrual cycle started (it came earlier than expected by a week. Odd). I am taking Nature's Way saw palmetto (585 mg) - 2 caps 3 x daily, and Nature's Way fenugreek (610 mg), 1 cap 3 x daily, plus the fenugreek massage and a sprinkle here and there of ground fenugreek on food. i just realised that the betaine I take to aid in protein digestion contains 100 mg of fenugreek per cap. I have 2 of those daily. Sometimes, I have instinctively been drawn to take more or less of the BE capsules and have followed that, but i think that the lower doses are likely better. Hard to say. I also have used GABA at night (NOW brand) - 1 g before bed.
I haven't felt anything in my breasts since taking the capsules. I've only taken them for 6 days.
I purchased the book on dousing, but I haven't felt confident in my ability to relax enough to not control the answers. I would be most grateful if someone here could douse for me to give me a sense of what I should do. I can be quite sensitive to drugs and herbs. I want to have the safest, swiftest breast growth possible! I welcome any help anyone has to offer.
Hoping for the best, with your support! :-)

Wow that store looks really great from the website. Things seem to be cheaper there too! I just bought some liquid fenugreek extract at $15 for 1oz (~29ml) and they're selling 25ml for $7! I don't quite live around that area but I'll probably go visit that store for my next months supplies. Thanks! 
I would NEVER be seen in public without a padded bra. I would actualy even be happy with a full 32A so I can finally fill out a normal unpadded bra. I really hope to reach 32B or more one day so we'll see how it goes. I actually dowsed that I'd reach a 32A in 2-3 months so I'm really excited and hopeful. So what is the ideal size you'd like to reach?
