I have gained an inch since I started and now wear a 34A. I've also purchased a breast pump and have been using it for an hour a day since Nov 15th.

I'm happy with the hypnosis CD I have right now. My first one was from Wendy Friesen. I listened to that one for 6 months (yes, everyday) and had no results. I was also on BO at the time. Wendy's Cds just seemed to rub me the wrong way and maybe that's why it didn't work for me. I have a couple of books on self-hypnosis and I totally believe it can work. I found a video on youtube yesterday One viewer claims to have grown 2 cups sizes in 2 months.

I am, like to, an older woman close to 40, and very small, at 34AA. So it's very encouraging to see you have results!
I have had 3 children. I only marginally breastfed the first two, but I breastfed the youngest one, who is now 8, for about 10 months. My breasts had always been small, but after breastfeeding, they got smaller! I am also going through some very stressful time in my personal life; it would not be exaggeration at all to say that I am going through some crises. But I don't want to wait to try to make my breasts bigger. I have already wasted a lot of time, and I am afraid if I wait, I will be too old to have any results.
Your program seems to be rather involving and requires a big commitment. Is that so? Could I ask you the hops, oats, etc. that you use in the massage oil, what form do they come in? Do you buy the powder or you just open up the capsules and pour in the contents? Could you please elaborate on that?
Thanks.

I've gotten into a routine with my program so it feels like second nature to me now. I have dropped the hypnosis CD for now-it makes me too sleepy. As for the massage-the hops, oats, soya, and fennel are in capsules and I open them up and mix them with the borage oil and the EPO.
There are a lot of older women on the forum who have had great results so don't be discouraged. There is hope! I also have a breast pump from http://www.noogleberry.com/ which I really like. A lot of people have gotten results from just using that alone. It works on the same principle as Brava but is less expensive and time consuming. Good luck with everything (especially your personal life).

Hello Sarah,
Most of the herbs I use are from Now and Nature's way. I'm not an expert or anything but they both seem like good brands and so I wouldn't have any trouble recommending them. I haven't purchased herbs online so I just get what the local health food stores stock and these are the most commonly stocked brands. I have heard good things about Greenbush herbs but I think their selection is limited. As for difference in quality I suppose there is but not being a chemist it's hard to know exactly. I would go with the more well known brands myself. iherb.com is supposed to be a good site for buying online and so is vortexhealth.net. Hope that helps! Good luck.

Quote:Starting stats as of mid August 2007:Thanks for your reply and encouragement. Could I ask you what brands of herbs you use or do you think they are all pretty much the same? The prices are quite far apart depending what brands you get and where you get them from, so I thought there might be some difference in quality and effectiveness. I live in Singapore now, so it's out of the question to just go to health foods store and buy the herbs. I have to get them online so my choices are quite limited. I have used www.vitacost.com, www.thecatalog.com (a NOW brand seller), but was wondering if you have good ideas. Thanks.
