This is too easy!

[littlelibrarian]

I really thought taking these herbs would mess up my period but it hasn't. I'm checking in before I get my period to say I tried on a bra today a 32B and it fit! I haven't seen any growth when I use the measuring tape.
My boobs are really sore but I AM NOT COMPLAINING! They are also quite hot.
A problem I'm having is blind pimples, I never got them before i started this, I get one on my chin, it starts to clear up and another pops up. I'm not complaining about that either, I like what I'm seeing. Weird that the measuring tape isn't showing any growth. I must be doing something wrong. I'm still not evened out so don't say to go in and get sized , I'm sticking to my 34A until I pop out of it; it's too embarassing to be measured.
Wen is the greatest!

Hi LL-

abt AF being 'nice' to ya.

For the floating pimple problem, really a topical washwon't help too much (so spot treat w/ OTC pimple killers)..but the problem as a whole should go away on it's own starting the cycle after this next one. You'll also start evening out in size in that timeframe too.

Note: water is what gives the fat cells their size.
So far you've got L-breast 1.8c walls, 1.1meats, and 0.4c water
R-breast 2.1c walls, 1.2meats, 0.3c water.

0.3-0.4c is hard to measure..it's more "fullness". No worries, you'll be on to 0.75c and more 1.2months from now. DEF measurable. Per how you're going now, you'll start evening out in 2.2months and finish evening out about 4.2 months from now and finish growing both at same rate until the end.

Just checking in, I got my period yesterday (17th). First, should I be drinking more water? It's only day 2 of my cycle so I haven't measured - I do it on my 5th day always. You also said it wouldn't show right now anyways.
I have a problem Wen; I ran out of fennel again - I'm drinking 2 tea bags worth of fennel tea until they get here; this is the second time I've had to order off the Internet - somebody around here is buying up all of the fennel!
You were right about the pimples, they're less severe. I don't need to take anything.
Another thing, is chia seeds okay to add to my diet? I've been on a smoothie kick for the past month now and have been adding a tablespoon of them to my fruit and vanilla soya milk smoothies.
If you haven't heard today yet Wen; YOU"RE GREAT!

[Wenonae]

;D Thanks for the "thanks"!!

Re: drinking more water. Just add a splash of lemon every now and again to keep your system nice a "flush". The amount doesn't need to change.

Re: Chia. Eeehhh. Not rating the best for health(7.1/10) nor BE (5.5/10). Anything else you can add?

Keep at the tea until your fennel comes. You're doing great otherwise!

The Chia seed needs to be replaced, so mabe hemp or flax seed? I really like fruit smoothies and they're great when you don't have time to stop and eat, better than going hungry!
Another question, usually my boobs shrink during my period and they're not, they're still hot, a bit achy and firm/fuller than normal - am I going to keep this?

Using the flax seed will be a great replacement.
As far as progress and swelling --> this is the cycle when you get to keep more and more goodies from AF and beyond. U'll lose just like 0.25c then it'll bounce b even further this cycle.

I need to tell you what has happened and need some advice. You remember I couldn't get fennel for about 3 weeks and I was taking fennel tea (2 bags) at bedtime along with the wild yam and vitamin C. The I ran out of tea and couldn't get that! I ended up for about a week, taking some fenugreek I had, it was liquid and I took 3 droppers every night along with he yama and C.
I finally got the fennel I think the first week of September and started the routine again with my September period, 5 fennel, 3 wild yam and 1 vitamin C. This is where I think I messed up. What am I supposed to be taking now or do I need to start over? I don't really feel any tingles, although once in awhile I'll get a sharp pain.
Can you take a peek Wenonae? I just want to be sure I'm on the right track here.

Hi LL'-

I've put the updates below based on what you've got stock of today. Try to get your doses as close to these MIN amounts as possible.

Cycle 7- 2200mg fennel, 1000mg WY, 1000mg vitamin C in morn on an empty tummy.
Cycle 8- 18000mg fennel, 1400mg WY, 1000mg vitamin C in morn on an empty tummy.
Cycle 9- 2200mg fennel, 1400mg WY, 2000mg vitamin C in morn on an empty tummy.

You're doing well. You've got walls of 2.1c, meats of 1.5c, & 1c of water right now (0.75c in your breasts, 0.25c on it's way to staying ther for good). 3 months after you finish BE- you should settle at 2.3cup increase in your breasts.

Okay, I'm on cycle 7 now (got my period on the 4th). I'm going to assume you mean 1800mg of fennel and not 18000 for cycle 8 which is next right? How come you changed the doses? I'm also going to assume that this happened because I left a very stressful job at the beginning of October and I'm a lot happier.
I'm tingling a lot and they're hot most of the time.
I'm growing a bit of a beard here, can you suggest something? I've got about 8 very black hairs that are under the skin on my chin right now and I can't pluck them out yet. I did get the occasional black hair on my chin but not like this! Anything you can suggest to get rid of them?
I'm also trying to quit smoking but not having the best of luck. Why do smokers always give away cigarettes to people who are trying to quit?! I''m down to about 5-7 per day.
