steady PC + right herbs= mostly swelling right herbs only= permanent growth and swelling as you grow, but it comes back after AF is done. RC is a combo herb which is contains precursors for estrogen and progesterone. So it both helps your BE and stops the e-dominance.  I used RC for my BE- I had SEVERE!!!! PMS. Now, I don't even use pain killer. www.teetercreekherbs.com/month9.html Also this link shows how RC is a combo binder: www.cancersupportivecare.com/estrogenherbdata.html#table2Wen' |

OKay have been taking 3 rc since last post, and not had to use the pc but once. I still get some really rough days though, its more emotional inbalance to the extreme, not so much pain. Period is late by about 3 days now, but not worried about atm.
I have finally started to feel some itchies again, but wonder if that is AF related. Also my right breast seems to have gotten lumpier - normal? other then that, my breasts aren't as swollen either, and are back to looking "normal"

It'll take another cycle at full dose to fully adjust.
Lumps normal after starting RC. Yes, they'll fade away in about 2 cycles.
No worries, you've got about 0.75cups in place in your breasts. The fats should have already started filling (hence the itchies). The 0.75 cup should finish filling about first week in May. Can you BELIEVE it's just about April??

Noticed today that I have a stretchmark on my right breast - its new as its flaming red. Not sure how I got it though as they don't appear to have grown, and I always use a ton of lotion as I have extremely dry skin during the colder months.
AF came, lumpiness disappeared. Still have considerable itchiness, particularly around the nipple area, which happens to be wear that new stretchmark is. They also constently feel engorged now - not severly engorged, but just................odd.

Have been very sick since about 4 days ago. Haven't really been able to stomach any food, so am not taking the herbs. I don't know if this will hinder things or not, but I figured whats the point of taking them if I am going to bring them right back up, that wouldn't do me much good either.
Despite all this, my boobs are hurting really bad.
My plan is to try and the herbs back up today or tomorrow depending on how I feel, but at this point I am not going to rush anything.

Still not 100%, but getting there:
I was able to start my herbs back up the day after my last post.
The hard lumps in my right boob have not come back since my last post about them. In its place I have what appear to be enlarged lobes, similar to what I felt using the GY method, but as I am not massaging am unsure why they would be like this. My left side has them, they just aren't as enlarged. Both breasts appear to look even, and they don't feel funny, so I am not too worried about it at the moment. They also appear larger, but don't measure any larger. The biggest thing I have noticed is that the underside of my boobs are full the way they once were, so it actually looks like I have boobs, albeit small ones, but I'll take it over just droopy skin.
Haven't noticed as much itchiness, some periodic pain, especially near my armpit/outerbreast. They do have this heavy feeling though, similar to when your boobs are full from nursing, not engorged, but as if I just had let down.
So far I don't seem to have any side effects from the RC - don't notice any weight gain, increased cellulite, cycle problems. I do have an increased amount of pimples though, I usually don't suffer from them, so this is kinda frustrating.
Also realized that the stretchmakrs I thought were appearing, are actualling my old ones stretching out - really hard to explain but they aren't new ones showing up.

Wow. Lot of good changes going on. So about the pimples- yeah they come while doing BE so just be prepared to use a salycilic facial wash to help keep them at bay. As far as the old stretchmarks being 're-triggered'/inflamed/re-stretched...I wouldn't treat them right now as what would really help them would inhibit your BE. I've got a really fast-acting solution which combined with a simple internal regimen will knock those right off of your body. As far as the breast not measuring any larger, dont' forget the vertical measurements too. Note- your glands are getting enlarged because that's what happens first in breast growth. Glands grow, then breast fats fill and attach around the glands. As far as your filling status, 40% of the 0.75c are filled in. So mid-May is looking like a strong date. Despite being ill, you're doing quite well. Keep things up! Wen' |

Hi Wen - its funny I just switched to a salycilic facial wash to try and combat these pimples -
I don't know how to measure vertically. Just discouraged that even with all this filling in, my bras still aren't overflowing. Some days it really gets to me, others I don't worry about it, its just with summer coming and all that.................
Can you explain to me what 0.75c means? I am a little confused, I thought you were saying by Mayish I would have gained almost a cup, but now don't think that is what you are referring to, but might be wrong, just wanted some clarification.
Thanks

Awww, at least you're making progress w/ BE. And if not this summer, then you can wear this BAD-a$$ New Year's Eve dress  . Hee. Sorry for short-hand. 0.75c= 0.75 cups. This is what you should have in place by mid-May w/o any other hiccups. That 40% was just indicating how much has filled in of the 0.75cups (0.4 * 0.75 = 0.3cups). This is why you can feel a little bit, but it's hard to measure. To measure vertically, measure directly across nipple from bottom to where you feel fats stop on the top of your breasts. A little subjective, but it's something mostly 'trackable'. |

Is this normal?
My boobs are looking smaller then before, but sitting higher. I haven't measured as I fear what the results will be. Its unusual as I am at my normal swelling time.
I am getting alot of pressure in my breasts as well. Even when I don't wear a bra, it feels like they are being constricted in a bra that is too small, and hurt.

Yes this is "normal" when breasts are developing and growing. For now I'd just "measure" via a bra. If you can't breathe when you put your normal one on...then you're growing all around the breast, but not necessarily outward (this is the viewpoint easiest to see. That and when the tops of breasts come in). Get a 'tween bra so you don't restrict progress- some soft cup variety with a little bit of room. Wen' |

Wen - thanks. I actually don't wear any padded bras, I have found that they hurt, so all my bras are soft cups, some have underwires some don't, and none of them are restricting.
Measured after my period with my non padded bra, and I actually measure about 1/4inch larger then I do without one on. So I am now clearing 33inch by just smidge. I have noticed that my favorite bra is getting snug, and its not very old, and the snugness (sp) is in the cup area, not the band, so perhaps that is a good sign?!?
I still have pressure and now my itchiness is back with a vengence.
I got a hard lump in my right breast right before my period, and it seemed to disappear when my period left. I had no symptoms from my period, so am really excited, the downside is I seemed to be alot heavier then normal, and a little bit longer.
Boobs aren't looking to bad. They are sitting higher then before so they appear to be smaller, but from the side, I can really see how much has filled in on the underside. I went from just about nothing, to having something.. I am really hoping for a nice full B, perhaps a C, but that is just me wishing.
Am having some trouble taking my pills lately, seem to be gagging them down, which is making it hard for me to take them, but am pushing through in the hopes that it will pass.

MR- I'd say you've got some GOOD SIGNs that something is going on. You can easily reach C at the rate you're going. As far as ease for taking your pills, drink more water before and after to taking you pills. I find that when my throat is dry- it's harder to swallow. Wen' |

Curious thing - my boobs seem to appear smaller and more flabby/saggy and look very odd compared to how they had been looking, but they are still filling my bras the same. I am used to firmer appearing breasts and these aren't what my boobs usually look like. I am hoping that if they grow, that they won't permanently look like this, and that perhaps they will firm back up.
Yes I want bigger boobs, but I want nice looking bigger boobs too. NOT like implants, but nice.

NOT like implants, but nice. I've been through this. May last up to 2 cycles, but your old breast fats are being replaced..so the breasts aren't as dense while this is hapenning, but they are still the same size. As you're getting replaced fats, you're also growing. Don't worry- it does equalize and it will look good Wen' |
