I believe GF's use of the word "cycle" is referring to her menstrual cycle. Cycle 5 Day 8 is the 8th day of her 5th month.

Yeah, I'd definitely keep on going through at least your 7th month. Being at an AA is the worst, because the changes that occur are SO DARN SLIGHT that you almost think it's all in your head! What I've been noticing very recently (as in, the past two days) is that the shape of my breasts are ever so slightly starting to change. They are getting to be a little bit more of a teardrop shape; and the area around my nipples is sticking out more, pushing my nipples out a little bit more. So they are kind of a teardrop-y pointy shape now. It's exciting! But it's taken FOREVER to get to this point. It makes me anxious to see what's next!

I'm sure having a higher BMI could be helpful, to a point. But look at me, though; my BMI is 21.0 and I'm struggling too. Maybe it's genetics, or just cuz we're starting from such a small cup size; but it's obvious us smaller gals are gonna take a lot longer to reach our goal than those who started with an A or B cup. But considering puberty takes an average of 7-8 years naturally, it's not terribly surprising that this is taking so long. It is SOOO hard being patient; cuz you want to know if you're wasting time and money on something that may not be working. But giving your program at least 6-7 months is mandatory before you can determine whether or not it's working for you. Judging by your recent pics, I'd definitely say it's working for you! The going is SLOOOOOW, I know; but it's working!!!

Hang in there! It does take an excruciatingly long time for us in the AA- category; but it is SOOO worth it when you finally notice a change!
