EnglishChick's Routine

[englishchick]

This is the regime of herbal tablets I propose to take. I have been reading up on this subject for over 2 years now, but I have finally decided to actually order some herbs and see how it goes.

I am currently 18 years old (just!) and my breast measurements are 30 inches(76cm) under-bust and 36 inches (91.5cm) over-bust. I wear a 34C bra, which fits me perfectly - but I would love to be a 34D or 34DD.

Here are the herbs I will be using, and how often:

Morning:

Saw Palmetto capsules - 1250mg - x 1
Red Clover capsules - 550mg - x 1
Wild Yam tablets - 500mg - x 1
Fenugreek capsules - 610mg - x 1
Fennel capsules - 440mg - x 1

Evening:

Red Clover capsules - 550mg - x 1
Wild Yam tablets - 500mg - x 1
Fenugreek capsules - 610mg - x 1
Fennel capsules - 440mg - x 1

Take all with orange juice.

Massage with boobie batter containing:

-Coco de Mer body lotion
-St. Ives 24hr moisturiser
-Nivea Johoba oil mosturiser
-About 5-7g of ground fenugreek seeds
-3800mg worth of capsules of EPO (squeezed out)
-1200mg worth of capsules of Starflower oil (also squeezed out)
-Olive oil[/b]

This all adds up to 9 doses a day, and altogether per herb:

Saw Palmetto: 1250mg per day
Red clover: 1100mg per day
Wild yam: 1000mg per day
Fenugreek: 1220mg per day
Fennel: 880mg per day (I could up the dosage of these to 3 caps per day for 1350mg per day?)

I was suprised at how expensive these herbs actually are, even after searching for the cheapest comparison, a 3 1/2 month supply of these herbs cost me over £75! I am still at school and only have a saturday job, so this was considerably dipping into my savings (nearly 2 weeks worth of wages)! Its difficult for us gals in the UK because there isn't such a wide variety of health food stores or websites to choose from.

Because of this, I am reluctant to use too many of my pills each day, although I am open to purchasing other herbs if women have had good experiences with them. I see some people posting on this board take over 3000mg of certain individual herbs each day - but is this really recommended, or necessary? Will having a smaller dosage of the pills lessen my chances of success? Capsules or tablets which are over 1000mg often state that you should not exceed 1 dose per day, so why is such a heavy dosage necessary?

I haven't actually received the herbs yet after ordering them, but I will be sure to update regularly on any progress when I do start it ;D

Your advice and expertise is really appreciated!

I would group your fenugreek and fennel and consider them as one when it comes to estrogenic herbs. Red Clover is a bit different. If you are a 34 C then you might watch for these being a bit low.

Watch out for Red Clover! It does tend to chunk out a lot of women that use it. Not saying that will be the case with you but just watch for it. RC extract is good for use in massage.

I did not see any massage considerations in your routine. There are several things you could do. Be sure to use something estrogenic like fenugreek and/or Red Clover with a carrier like Olive Oil or Emu oil. A couple of drops of DMSO after massage followed by 15 minutes of heat from a heated pad set on low heat has a good track record.

Thank you oodles for the advice. I will start off taking the red clover, but if I have any weight gain (other than on my boobs!) I may consider dropping it from the menu.

As for the other stuff, I don't actually have a heat pad, but I did make up some boobie batter (which is now described in my regime - sorry, forgot to describe it in depth before.)
