Last night I started my period! Which I am a little shocked at because I thought I was e dom this month from too much e cream and I thought i wasn't going to start my period on time but then it came - another exact 28 day cycle!!
So happy I am finally balanced now.
Yesterday before my period started, i got my fennel oil in the mail and herb pharm sjw (they came super fast!). So I tried out the fennel oil. I searched online for dosages and found that the oil can cause hallucinations and seizures if you use too much so that's good to know but I think the general topical dosage was 2-12 drops but definitely look this up for yourself first.
I have also read fennel can induce menstruation so maybe that helped a little?? Idk it was probably coincidence.
But fennel is also good for calming digestion issues. I just ate lunch yesterday and put some on my breasts and my gurgly stomach felt better too.
Fennel also has estrogenic properties so I want to be careful with combining it with my e cream - definitely staying with a really low dose. I'm thinking of applying a pea sized amount of e cream every day starting on day 5 of my cycle.
So yesterday, I applied about 6 drops total of the oil to my breasts and that was WAY too much! I was so surprised. But I got the most intense tingles and soreness in my nipples ever. I almost wanted to take it off they were so sore! It felt like i put the strongest peppermint lotion directly on my nipples after someone was twisting them for an hour lol.
Also, I didn't know what fennel oil smelled like before but read it smelled somewhat like black licorice and is strong like fenugreek. It is definitely strong stuff! I could almost barely breathe when applying it lol but the smell dissipates a little and then the smell is soothing. It smells like an herbal antiseptic mixed with black licorice. Even hours later my bf asked why our bedroom smelled like black licorice lol.
I washed it off after 30 minutes.
I'll probably apply only 4 drops 30 minutes before showering.
Today I applied 4 drops and the tingling and soreness was a LOT less intense. I could almost barely handle it yesterday.
Results:
I didn't notice any swelling yesterday when I applied it. Although, later at when my bf and i were brushing our teeth he said my boobs look big (through my pj shirt ) But I think that's just from my luteal swelling and he jst finally noticed them lol.
I don't think they have gotten bigger from the fennel oil just yet but this morning when I applied the oil again, they felt heavier and fuller.
Similar to how it felt when i applied fenugreek for the first time.Except with the fenugreek I got some great swelling.
I'm taking a little break from maca during my period. Will resume probably on day 5 of my cycle.
Can't wait for this cycle! I have a good feeling about this one
Happy growing beautiful ladies!
Omg i laughed my ass off about your BF asking why your bedroom smelled like Black licorice gosh Miss thats so funny!! Did you stopped taking PM btw? Oh and what about SJW...is it bad or good for nbe?
Hahaha I know too funny! He hates black licorice too lol.
Yeah I stopped PM a few months ago. I think it's just too strong for me and does more damage than good at least for my body.
I still take SJW I think it has been helping my growth the most. I'm still going with my research on SSRIs and their connection with breast growth. I looked it up after lotus said sjw is bad for growth but even prescription SSRIs work in the same way and can reduce estrogen in the body too and these are the ones that were used in tests to see if they caused breast growth and they did . I think that if you are E dom, sjw will work because it helps reduce estrogen and brings you into balance more. This has been a huge help for me.
I have really been liking this fennel oil too!! Last night and today I noticed my breasts were fuller and last night again my bf said my breasts are looking really big right now. They felt so full today! The only thing I've added is the fennel oil so I know it's from that but could jsut be swelling but I'll take it!
Hmm maybe SJW works kind off the same as DIM to reduce the bad estrogen(estradiol if im not wrong,the one we do not grow from and that just float around which cann harm us)....I saw Gingko biloba was an anti-estrogen too but still its in some succesfull peoples programs.. I do think at least the right balance keeps us going. Anyhow if you find something interesting id like to know best thing its working for you!!
I btw only use pm topical and its been the best thing working for me together with astaxanthine i think,lol.
But id like to get my hands on some fennel oil now, do you use a essential oil mixed up in another oil? I've never heard of fennel oil around here btw, you bring me on ideas
Well SJW also increases prolactin which is what fenugreek does too so I think it mostly works in that sense. Massage/stimulating the nipples also increases prolactin which is another essential part of nbe. but maybe you're right about the bad estrogens. I read that it does decrease the effects of hrt medicine so I'm assuming it would decrease the estrogenic effect of pm and other herbs that increase estrogen.
I took gingko for a long time and when I stopped using it, I actually realized I didn't notice a difference when I took it and when I didn't take it lol.
Yeah I agree - balance is everything!
I wanted to try a PM topical! But I couldn't find a good source! Which one do you use? I ended up just using a estradiol/estriol cream instead of the pm. I think topicals are SO much better for me. I bet the PM topical would work too - I just couldn't find a good reliable place to buy it so I gave up on that lol.
And you should give the fennel a try. I measured today and I'm at 34.25. The swelling I've had hasn't even gone down since I started using it. I think the tingles and soreness are a definite sign of the fennel's effects on me.
But I'm not sure about using fennel and pm since both are estrogenic...
I''m using it with my estrogen cream right now but I'm using a very tiny dose of the estrogen cream - like 1/8th the recommended dose lol.
I have just been putting the fennel oil alone directly on my breasts and it's not really oily. It absorbs into my skin really fast and makes my skin feel really soft!
After I let it absorb for 20 - 30 min, I wash it off (because of the smell - otherwise it doesn't feel like there is any residue on your breasts) or you can use another oil to get your massage time in. But I like to put it directly on my breasts alone so more is absorbed.
This is the one I have been using.. fairly cheap too! It's a TINY amount in the bottle but keep in mind I'm only using 4 drops a day!! So it'll definitely last. Today i used 6 drops though. I think I can build my dose up. It wasn't as intense as that first day.

Lol ginko biloba did nothing for me either...neither did fenugreek for me...I havent tried fenugreek externally though the seeds and the powder were useless for me...only made me hungry!! But im still very curious about SJW..when do you take it? Daily or cycled?
For topical pm i just break up the capsules and put the powder on good warm steamy wet breasts lol and massage with it leave on solved with warm water for about 10-20 minutes. I actually use all my capsules for external use only. I have been to lazy and clueless if I can make a cream myself with the powder.. I dont want it to be or become a messy smelly or maybe rotting cream..
But thanks for the fennel tip so exciting to hear you had great swelling with it...its such a fun experience the soreness dont you think? I actually hate it when the snesitivity of my breasts go down again..
Anyhow cant wait for herbshopping now...sjw and fennel wil be in it and astaxanthine too!
