routine - will it work- fingers crossed

[absabsabs]

Hi.
Hope everyone is fit and well. Thought I would post my programme up to help me stay motivated. So here goes. Bit of info about myself at bottom too.

For the past 2 and a half weeks to 3 weeks. i have been using the following routine:
Massage about 4 mins morning and night with moisturiser and fenugreek extract

Morning caps (6am)

620mg of hops
95mg Saw Palmetto
1000 mg evening primrose oil or flaxseed oil
405 mg wild yam root
860 red clover blossom
550 mg fenugreek seed

After caps (between 2 and 4 pm)
620mg of hops
1000 mg evening flaxseed oil or EPO
860 red clover blossoms
550 mg fenugreek seed

Evening (10pm)
620mg of hops
95mg Saw Palmetto
1000 mg evening primrose oil or flaxseed oil
405 mg wild yam root
860 red clover blossums
550 mg fenugreek seed.

I wear a 32A bra and that has some gaps but an aa is too small. I have done perfect c before but with out any results.
I work out at the gym 5 times a week and absolutely love it! So I hop exercise isnt to much of a hinderance. I do a mix of cardio classes, weight classes and a tiny bit of yoga. I wonder in a way if this can be benefical as about 30 mins after working out (especially using light weights) I feel an itchiness in my chest that I never used to feel.

I weight 9 stone or 57 kilos and my height is 5'7. I am 26 years old with no children.

In the past I have hated fruit and vegetables and didnt really eat them at all untill I was about 19 years old. I secretly wonder if this lack of nutrition during puperty effected breast growth. Who knows. Lived off meat and pasta and crisps and chocolate mainly. So I am trying to have fruit or vegies at most meals ,whether it be a home made fruit smoothie for breakfast or adding vegies to an omlette. I am a very fussy eater so I have to mix vegies and fruit with other things, still eating a lot of crisps as I find them hard to give it but have managed to downsize on the quantity of crisps I am eating.

Since starting this programme I have found that the herbs have made me way way more relaxed if thats possible and also has stopped bloating and slight IBS. Have so far exprienced some very occassional itchy feeling on breast and tingling on nipples , mainly on the right side which is my slightly bigger side.

Any feedback would be appriciated.

Well done if you managed to read to the end. I often ramble.
Keep you updated

Much love and have a fantastic day!

For the IBS, use psyllium fiber (ground corn husks).

For your massage, are you using heat?

Your 5 day workouts could keep your success down, depending on your build and body fat. Usually some exercise is good, but when I see someone going every day, it usually means that they are keeping too lean for BE. On the other hand, you appear to be seeing some success, so maybe you have found what works for you in your situation.

Generally speaking I think that red clover is not good for anyone who is over 110 lbs. I would say dump that and possibly the hops, but not both at once. Try one at a time and see what the effect is over a month. Also, raise the fenugreek to an amount that works for you.

The best thing you can do is to either keep on your current course or dump the red clover and hops while raising fenugreek. You could also add a gram of borage oil at night.

Thanks for the reply... I have upped the fenugreek as suggested. Once I finish red clover will stop taking it, but will finish the bottle first. I have noticable growth on my right breast and not my left. Shall I just message with fenugreek extract and moisturise on my left to even up... or is it too early worry about the uneven one. Do you think the other one will catch up? There is quite a difference as it was always slightly bigger... now the difference is certainly move obvious

The red clover is better stopped than continuing to take it. If you just don't want to waste it, add it to your massage batter.

Just give the smaller side a little more batter and a little more time if you want to even them out. It's never too early to address a smaller side. When your bigger side gets bigger it will grow even faster - as will the smaller side. Just understand that perfect symmetry almost never exists. If you look at your feet, I'll bet that you will find that one is a little bigger than the other. One side of your (everyeone's) face does not look like the other. etc.

o.k. Thankyou. Why is red clover bad?

[Wahaika]

Red Clover, for those who are not petite, adds a lot of unwanted weight and does not seem to work well.

Red Clover also has Genistein in it which I have seen in a study that showed that it kept blood vessels from forming in tumors. If that applies to BE then it could be bad for circulation. I have only seen it work a handful of times, one was as a topical with DMSO, no internals.

I have seen plenty of cases where women were having no success and then, when they removed red clover, they had success.

I also did a survey of women who used it a few years back and 0% said that it worked, and most of them said that it packed on unwanted pounds.
