Too soon to tell, I know, especially when I felt smaller than ever yesterday, but I swear my left breast seems bigger today. I actually have more than just saggy skin- it seems like there is something in there. As far as the right breast- who knows? I've always been smaller on that side- maybe it needs a little extra massage.

Yesterday, I continued ramping up and took my first dose of WY. A few hours later, I felt aches in my breasts. I was so excited. Today, I ramped up to 2 WY's along with the 3 Fenugreeks and 3 SP's. I haven't felt anything. Could I have been imagining the aches? Also, I have been so bloated and uncomfortable, not every day though, so I don't know if it's from the herbs. This morning, my breasts seemed much fuller- not really bigger, just not so saggy. I actually felt comfortable walking around without anything on- I'm usually hiding myself out of embarrassment. Also, if I may get personal, during an "intimate" moment last night, my breasts were getting a lot more attention than they normally do- which made me wonder if they really are filling out. My skepticism about these herbs working is fading- I actually have hope that I won't have to buy bras in the young girl's section any more.  Just thought I'd give an update. I'll ramp to 3 WY tomorrow. |

Today is day 14 and I am taking the day off from internals, as suggested by Wahaika (I have a 28 day cycle). I have not felt any aches or pains since the first day I took one WY. Should I have done something different at that point? Does anyone know? Tomorrow I will resume with one of each of these 3 X a day- FG, SP, WY, and EPO. Also, 1 GABA at night.

Hi Anne.
I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I responded in your bloating thread. I am concerned that I experienced aches once when I was ramping up and then not again. Do you think that's strange? I've heard that some people grow without experiencing pain, but it's just weird that I did feel those aches once. Do you feel like you are progressing?
Joy

heya joy i ws thinking of also. i dont think it's strange, for somtimes i feel pain and sometimes i don't . i'm a bit confused sometimes i feel like not taking the herbs but i do want to try aleast for 3 months and see if it works for me. well i guess it's too early for us to see progress. Let us hang in there. joy they say some ladies grow without pains. Do you feel or look fuller?

Sometimes during the day I feel fuller and I get excited, then I'll look later and I look really small and saggy. I must be imagining the fullness. I think we should stick with it for at least 3 months. It's only been 2 weeks for me. Seems like forever. |

Hi Joyful1 - thanks for your reply to my "where do I start" post.
I know you haven't been on the routine very long, and I'm still on the wild search for herbs in australia, but I was wondering if you could tell me if you've felt any different since getting on the herbs.
I guess I'm just worried about ingesting all these herbs and ending up with headaches or a crazy cycle or something! How have you been?
And good luck? I'll keep checking in to see how you are going.
Lexy.

Hi Lexy,
The first time I tried NBE (sometime last year) I did get whacked-out cycles (I don't remember if I got headaches). At that time, I went straight to the recommended dose on the Greenbush herbs (3 caps of each, 3 times a day). In hindsight and after having read through several of Wahaika's posts, I think I should have ramped up slowly. That's what I'm doing now. . . and my cycle so far has been okay. I did have some acne issues, but they resolved once I added in the SP to the routine. No headaches. I did just start bloating since I added the Wild Yam two days ago.
This is one of the advantages of ramping everything up one by one - you can pinpoint which herb is making you feel a certain way, and you can adjust your dosages accordingly.
Just my experience with the herbs - hope this helps in your decision.
Peachy

Lexy, I haven't really felt any different. I have felt bloated a few times, but not every day. I have had a few headaches, but not every day- so I don't know if I can blame it on the herbs. I haven't felt moody or anything like that. Overall, I feel good. I was hesitant about taking all the herbs too. I ramped up slowly too. Good luck to you.

Is anyone else having to wash their bra way too often? I have a hard time putting on a brown stained bra every morning because of the extract. Anyway, when I took it off to wash it today, my boobs seemed so much bigger. There is actually something sticking out when I'm wearing a shirt. I don't look as flat as my young daughter. I decided to measure since I was feeling so much bigger and I am 32 3/4 in. in the bust. Is it premature to measure only almost 3 weeks into my routine? Time will tell when I start my next cycle. Also, I felt a little pain in one breast the other day when I was sitting still for a minute, which I hardly ever do. I'm wondering if the aches and pains are there, but I just miss them most of the time because I don't sit long enough to feel it. Just a thought.

Hi Joyful1,
It's great that you feel that you're getting bigger. . . what was your baseline bust measurement? And am I correct in thinking you're taking the enhancement blend extract from Greenbush? Internally and/or externally?
Good luck and thanks for keeping us posted.
Peachy
