codrina's routine

[codrina]

My first routine was the following(i ramped up):
-FG 1800mg/day,
-RC 1500mg/day,
-SP 1200mg/day,EPO 1000mg/day,
-Flax seed oil 1 teaspoon/day,
-Vit. C 1400mg/day
-vit.B
-Zn 40mg/day
-vit E
-massage once or twice a day with FG extract+body lotion or RC+licorice extract+body lotion

i did that for 6 weeks and i grew 1 cm ....BUT...then I lost it and i'm not sure why....during one week i lost everything and the strangest thing is that i lost it exactly in the period when i usually grow, just before my AF.... because i felt that i had water retention i started taking juniper tree extract and, in the same time, during the same week, i didn't massage at all.and my boobs got smaller...why?because of the juniper tree extract or because i didn't massage??

i reduced the quantity of the juniper extract and i started again the massage, but nothing changed, i didn't grow back....

so i decided not to take red clover any more and i ramped down everything else, and right now i'm taking only 500mg fenugreek per day.i want to take that for a week, then add 500 mg fenugreek(so take 500 in morning and 500 in the evening) and also 500mg EPO.after another week, or maybe two weeks add 500mg SP, after another week add another 500mg SP...i'm thinking to do that because i'm a AAAA.

what do you of that?

Codrina,

If you put up a stats page, it would be easier to help. Take a look at several of the stats pages in the stats section and then design your own.

Hi Wahaika,
i already have a stats page:

[codrina]

well, now my boobs are a little bigger than usual, but my AF should come in about a week, so it's not real growth:-(
right now i'm taking FG 1000mg/day, EPO 500 mg/day, yesterday i started taking SP 400mg/day...i also take spironolactone 50 mg/day(for hirsutism and acne) and i want to start taking yasmine(the same reason as for spiro, but also because i read that spiro would mess up my period).i take spironolactone only from day 5 to 21.
i massage once a day, or sometimes twice, with body lotion+FG extract+RC extract, or body lotion+hops+fennel.
i could use some feedback:-)

Hi Cordina, I have experienced the same thing as you. During my last cycle i shrank, almost a week or more before my period when i usually go bigger due to luteal swelling. This time around too i shrank a little during my luteal phase almost around the same time. The only consolation is that i'm still bigger than what i started as, maybe just a little. The strange thing is that i'm growing during my follicular phase and losing a little bit during luteal and some in AF. The net result : tiny bit growth remains.

[codrina]

i still have no results:-((
i'm taking:
-1000mg FG/day
-500mg EPo/day
-800mg SP/day
-vit. b and zinc
-25 mg Spironolactone and Yasmine(so another 25 mg of spiro)
and massage

i'm wondering whether yasmine and spiro could help me or they stop me from growing.i want to take them for my hirsutism and for my acne, cause for 2 years i tried a lot of things and nothing helped(i have cystic acne on my chin).so i don't want to drop them, but i'm not sure whether they are good for BE or not???

[codrina]

i'm back again...i tried BE with no results, then stopped for a period, then tried again, again no results...i took a 6 months break, did some cleansing and starting from 23 March(as wahaika suggested March would be a good month to start a new routine...) i'm again on track...with no results yet and i could really use your help...

I'm taking the following(not everything is for BE):
- FG 3X 500 mg
- SP 2X320 mg
- Borage-1 g bedtime
- Zn - 50 mg(not everyday)
- vIt.B5 - 500 mg
- B complex
- vit.C-1 g or some days i take 2 g
- vit E 400 mg
- MSM- 1 g(aprox. because i take it as powder)
- fish oil- 2 g
- rutin -i don't know how much in mgs(i'm taking it for spider veins)
- grapeseed extract -320 mg (same reason)
- pycnogenol
i guess that's all i'm taking...i also drink tea, horsetail, mint, a cup of hops sometimes, a cup of fennel tea every night.

i have hirsutism(my testosteron is ok, the values are normal, but it appears my receptors are very "receptive")i'm thinking about taking pumpkin seed oil (but as oil because the caps are very expensive here) and i don't know how much to take...the bottle says 2 tablespoons/day for men, but i don't know for me...i could also take nettle, i found the root and i can ground it myself it would be cheap...but also i don't know how much i should take...as for SP i can't afford to take a higher dosage...


i massage once a day. i put FG and Fennel powder in olive oil+borage oil and i left them for a month, then i started using it, but only the oil cause the powder irritated my skin. after the massage i try to put some heat, but i'm affraid to do it cause it seems that my blood vessels are very fragile and i start having spider veins on my chest also(i have them on my legs) and i really don't won't to worsen that.

does anyone have any suggestions for me?? i could really use some help because it seems that i'm not having any success this time either...these are my stats beboard.proboards107.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=Stats&thread=3531&page=1

thanks

Are you still taking spirolactone?

Your doctor said that you have a tumor. Where?

[codrina]

no, i'm not taking spironolactone anymore. i took it for some time but i did nothing for me.
i have a small tumor on my hypophysis(i guess it is also called the pituitary gland?), the last time i checked it it was ok, my doc says there are many persons who have it but they live with it as they don't know they have it.he discovered mine by accident, i went to see him because i had hair on my face, my breast, etc. and he did all sorts of tests.i don't have pcos, i have normal testosterone, but during the research he did he found out i had an microadenoma(i don't know if i translated correctly, it's a small tumor).i had elevated prolactine back then, it was 10 years ago, i took some medicine and it normalized my prolactine, then i did tests like every year for a while and everything was ok.
oo, and i never had leaky breast, my doc always checked that and i was ok.never had problems with my period...

i tried taking vitex for 4-5 months...but again, it did nothing for me. i eventually did ipl for my moustache(10 sessions and it reduced the hair with 40 %), on my breasts(7 sessions did absolutely nothing, on the contrary, i have more hair surrounding my nipples now, very long, black hairs)

i drink mint tea because i like it.i'm not sure if it has any effect yet, i'll keep drinking it.

[codrina]

anyone, any help?

[codrina]

two days ago i started my new routine dowsed by wen:

"Ramp the list above over 3 months:
RC from 1000mg to 3000mg, always one dose at nite (8p-2a), 2hrs after eating.
Fen from 1500mg to 1800mg, always one dose at nite, 2hrs after eating.
Damiana from 500mg to 1200mg, always one dose at nite, 2hrs after eating.

Stay at MAX dose for another 4 months
Then 1 month at doses for Month 2.
Then you're done.

Get rest (6hrs MIN a nite), eat/drink at least 22mg of protein daily (NO SOY)"

i'm so excited!!i hope everything goes well...and if it does, in 8 months(by April) i'll have 2.5 cups more than i have now.
i'm not exactly sure how much is that but it sounds great i'm AA , so 2.5 cups would be a B? or more?

[codrina]

it's been almost 2 weekes...so far so good...of course, no signs of growing(i wasn;t expecting them anyway 'cause it's too soon), but nothing bad either...it's seems my body "accepts" these herbs i'm taking now...

wen, i've got one more question: about massage: should i do it?i'm not doing any right now, but...should i do it?how much and what should i use?

[Wenonae]

No massage except for itch or soreness relief.

Wen'

[codrina]

thanks wen.
one more question:how much is 2.5 cups in cm or inches?approximately...

[Wenonae]

Umm... 1inch increase horizontally across the breast is about 1 cup. so 2.5cups= 6.35cm about.
