Wannagrow's routine

[wannagrow]

well I'm browsing here for about two months and I started my routine September 28th. It's inspired by the flat2fab and a bit from Pammy's routine.
well I'll introduce myself:
age-18
current size- 34B
height- 5'2
weight- 109
goal- 34D

morning:
2 saw palmetto (each 570 mg)
2 fenugreek (each 640 mg)
1 red clover (575 mg)
1 fish oil (1000 mg)
1 EPO (1300 mg)
1 PABA (500 mg)


afternoon- the same routine only I dont take the PABA

before bed- the same routine as the morning (with the PABA) and I also take my birth control pill (Ortho-Cyclen)

I do the chi massage twice a day, in the morning I use licorice tea+body lotion+epo
before bed I massage with Fenugreek extract+ body lotion+EPO+peppermint oil

when I remember I drink Fenugreek tea in the evening, it's something like 4 times a week..
And every morning I drink a protein shake.
I don't drink coffee, I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol.
I do Pilates 2 times a week and I walk once a week.

I already noticed my breast are fuller and bigger. Other people noticed that too!
Sometimes I feel growing pains, but most of the time I feel pain only whem I touch them.

I'd be really happy if u tell me what u think about my routine ! I am really afraid that I might be taking too many herbs and that my receptors would be overloaded!

[wannagrow]

oh I forgot to mention:
no children

plus I forgot to mention that before bed I put the heating pad for 20-30 minutes.

Are these your starting dosages or did you ramp up to these?

[wannagrow]

I ramped up to this!

[shakira8]

Sounds ok,good luck!Does paba work on you?

[wannagrow]

I think it does, cause I took PABA since the beginning, and I started feeling soreness and fulness while I was still ramping up...!

[shakira8]

Nice!Well,now there's nothing else to do but wait,good luck again!!!

[wannagrow]

oh no!! My period started and my boobs shrank!!!
Well at least I can be glad that they are bigger than how they were when I just started my routine...

[Wenonae]

That's actually kinda 'normal'. Stay with it...seems like you're making progress.

what is PABA?

[wannagrow]

thanks Wen! I really hope so....

PABA is a kind of a vitamin B... it's supposed to maximize your own hormones so that u need fewer herbs .....

[wannagrow]

I measured today and I grew 1.5 cm!! (about 0.5 inch) growth!!
tomorrow is exactly 5 weeks of my NBE...

but I'm so frustrated about the smell!!! I dont know what to do and everywhere I go people say they smell something weird!!!

[wannagrow]

well forgot 2 tell u that I changed a bit my routine...
The capsules of Saw Palmetto berries were missing in the store so I got capsules of Saw Palmetto extract instead...
the extract is 5:1 , each 160 mg... I take 4 of them a day.. (2 in the morning and 2 before bed). Anyway, I think its better for me because ever since I started taking the extract (4 days ago), I notice that my breasts are sore most of the time and my shooting pains are more frequent. Could it be that the extract is better than the berries??
did anyone expreienced that too?

Oh and by the way I stopped drinking the fenugreek tea and since yesterday I drink fennel tea instead (because of the smell I want the least fenugreek as possible), and also I forgot to mention that about a week ago I stopped massaging in the morning with licorice (because in flat2fab it sais not to use it more than 4-6 weeks) , so I massage with fennel oil instead.

Wannagrow,

A couple of questions for you: where did you purchase the fennel oil you're using? I've been wanting to try massaging with that for a while, but just am not sure which online place to use (or does GNC have it?) since some are really expensive and I want to make sure I'm getting good quality for the money. Also, how important do you feel the red clover is to your routine?

Thanks,

Peachy

1. i found the fennel oil in a small store near my house...
the brand is primavera life.
2. the truth is, I dont think the red clover is so important. I started using the red clover about two weeks after i started my routine because i had to order it.
i felt soreness without the red clover but i already bought 3 bottles so i decided to use it anyway.
in fact in about a month i shoould be taking a break (according to the flat2fab i should take a month break after 3 months of NBE) and then i wanna start a new routine with wild yam instead.
