I just started yesterday... and have now formalized what I'm taking:
Fenugreek- 1 tbsp soaked seed 3x/day
Saw Palmetto- 450 mg 3x/day
Black Cohosh- 30 drops 2x/day
Omega 3 oils- 2 caps daily
Fennel Seeds- 1tsp 2x/day
Thinking of adding evening primrose as my mom has a huge supply.
Massage 3x/day: black cohosh, geranium, ylang ylang

Oops, 3 ingredients I forgot to mention in the boobie batter: rose wax, neroli wax, and 2 drops peppermint eo My nipples have been staying hard all day and my boobs have been sore since I started the massages with black cohosh  |

Have ramped up my SP to 5 caps a day, added 1500 mg epo, and dropped the black cohosh as it was causing me to behave strangely (much like others have experienced with fg). I seem to be a half inch bigger on the measuring tape, and have been feeling a little fullness, but it's not obvious at all.

The soreness and nipple hardness has, for the most part, subsided; however, I am getting twinges and deep itches/aches intermittently. Just popped some SP and will be heading downstairs for my spoonful of fg. Thinking of adding WY.

It's been exactly one week and I have not grown. This depresses me to no end.

Oh, no! You shouldnt measure too often. Measure once a month, on the same day every cycle after swelling has subsided. If it has been one week then just measure on the 7th day of each cycle. Measuring too often WILL lead to depression and it could be misleading, because you measure slightly off. Dont worry, you WILL grow! ;D

ok... started ramping up wild yam (GNC is having BOGO again) for some extra boost! I can't restrict myself to measuring once a month so I'll do once a week... that's a start at least to control my neurotic urges. LOL!

Are your epo gelcaps 1500 mg each? Just wondering, because it is recommended that you take 1000 mg 3x/day. Not sure exactly why. I dont remember, but yes, you are suppose to take 1 dose b4 bed. If they are 1500 ea. then try 2x/day. Also, are you taking a multivitamin? (I say I am, but since they say to take it w/ meals and the herbs on empty stomach, then by the time I eat a meal, I forget to take my multi!)

My EPO gelcaps are 500 mg each. I take three before bed and have started to take one in the morning. I'm also on other fatty acids so I don't think it'd be wise to take too much. My multivitamin is GNC Preventron and I'm also taking 2000mg a day of an Omega 3 supplement with flax and algal oil (for my depression). What I do to remember my herbs is to take them before I or my dad (he does dinner) starts cooking. That way, there's around a 1/2 hour period between my herbs and my meal.

I am back on the boat, everybody... I am now taking that QuickBust crap because it was $4.99 a bottle and I couldn't order at any non-Paypal places. It actually works better than what I've been taking! I think it must be the black cohosh extract and hops (mmmm.... 8-prenylnaringenin.... beery), especially since black cohosh works quite well for me. I'll keep ya posted. It's actually the 2nd day and I'm getting pains during follicular |
