Starting measurements:
Height 5'1
Weight 120lbs
Hips 36
Waist 25
Underbust 28
Bust 31
Bust bending 32.5
Bra size 32A
End of Brava session 1:
Height 5'1
Weight 106lbs
Hips 35.5
Waist 24
Underbust 26.75
Bust 33.25
Bust bending 34.25
Bra size between 30D / 32C
Measurements before Brava session 2:
Height 5'1
Weight 106.5lbs (must curb that eating!)
Hips 36
Waist 23.75
Underbust 26
Bust 32
Bust bending - forgot to take
Bra size 30D, slightly loose on right. 32 bands are really a bit big now.
So looking back on the last year of booby growth, yes I have lost some of what I gained from Brava but I've also lost nearly as much underbust and a little from my waist so overall not lost as much as I was beginning to worry about. Started at having 3-4 inch difference between bust and underbust and although my actual bust circumference isn't much different because of weight loss, I've now got 6 inches difference between my bust and underbust which is 2+ cupsize increase! Sounds huge but sadly doesn't look it!
Here's to round 2 and another 2 cups..........inshaAllah!
Got much better set of photos this time round for comparison

Wearing Wide XL this time and getting a seal is no problem but they are bigger and feel heavy and like they're pulling down - may have to buy a granny bra in a stupid size to hold them up a bit or maybe I could make something...
The Wide XL actually fit better than the narrow in that my boobs aren't touching all round the edge as soon as I put them on, hope this works in some way. Only fill about the first 1/4 at the moment but at least a 32DD/E in the morning already and do seem to be maintaining a little when I put them back on.
Did use BB for 30 mins on first night, could only stand it up to 12 o'clock setting and used large not XL - boobs felt like I'd been beaten up the next morning and had huge pecs - still tender to touch 4 days later and not been brave enough to use it since! Only downside of the XL is that they come so high up on my chest I'm worried that my strapless party dress will show a hideous mark - may have to use fake tan or cover with my hair or something.

Using Holland & Barratt Aloe Vera gel + vitamin E oil + Johnson's baby lightoil spray - much more comfortable.
30D bra is full and slightly overfull before putting domes on in the evenings but haven't taken any measurements. Wearing 34D fairly full in the morning.

Skin's still ok and weight down to about 104 lbs because I'm sick, still feel a bit rough and never want to eat anything ever again! Possible metformin reaction or maybe food poisoning.

Still retaining about 1 cup at lunchtime and slightly bigger in the evening that previously. Think I'm just impatient, keep telling myself it's only been 4 weeks. Think I'm too skinny round the ribs and that's why I'm getting rib pain but it's not terrible and I'm sleeping completely normally.

Beginning to get a dry skin pathc near the armpit area - hope I can hide it / fix it so it doesn't show in my strapless dress next week. Had one short night as my friends came round, have since told one of them what I'm up to so can at least have her round some evenings and just put up with being laughed at! Still reasonably comfortable and sleeping 100% normally. Only annoying thing is the tubing keeps falling off the domes, I think it's when I move around and it's better if I wear the bra but that hurts my ribs. Not sure if I'm airlocking too tight as I'm impatient to touch the ends and have never got more than half way. Hopefully will be having more time off soon so can do some longer sessions. Even after only 8.5 hours I had 2 cups swelling so I think it was still a beneficial night. Will possibly do 8 months and have May-August as a break.

Haven't used BB much as difficult finding time and hard getting back into it but used it today and was fine up to about 12-1 o'clock setting on suck and got pretty good swelling, nearly 2 cups in just over an hour with the large domes. Hoping to make this regular as I think 1 hour with BB is worth more than the 1 hour with Brava that I'll be missing. I think BB's easier on the skin too as no irritating sticky. Just need to stop overeating!

Have got back to BB the last 2 days and it was definitely less uncomfortable and I could go higher on the suction wheel but got a bit of a hickey mark so will probably leave that until after the party too. Eventually I'd like to do 1-2 hours with BB then put the narrow XL domes on to have a shower in (to keep the wide XLs dry) then put the wide XLs on overnight. Using BB before gives better swelling so I think it's doing something useful inshaAllah....only on Week 5....soooo exciting!

Quote:My weight has always been up and down as I have a very bad diet but luckily can lose weight very easily when I try. At my fattest my boobs are almost respectable - full 34A, but have gone from 135lbs to 120lbs and lost a lot on top. My aim is to balance my upper and lower body to minimise my pear shape. I'm 25, never been pregnant, don't drink / smoke, don't like coffee, don't have many fizzy drinks, strict veggie but don't like many vegetables so have a high carb intake from potatoes and pasta, probably androgen dominant. Had bad skin since age 22 but went back on the pill recently and that fixed it in 6 weeks (microgynon 30). Intend to get a blood test for hormone levels in the next few weeks.Have been wearing for about 12 hours per night for 4 nights now, feels ok, slightly itchy but getting to sleep with no probs. Beginning to develop rash, will sit down and rub sticky off domes when get more time. Think I need more EPO or something as the dome prep is an inadequate barrier. What I really need is to spend my non-Brava time walking round topless to get some air to them...not necessarily practical!

Would like to be 33+ around boobs as that is what I measure over a padded bra! Anything more would be a bonus, main point is not to put on weight.
Plan: Taken Microgynon BCP for 1 month to check for any adverse effect (have taken it before with no probs), started Wonderup 1 week ago, intend to continue on WU alone for 1 month to check for side effects before introducing nettles and borage oil. Trying to eat more protein and doing Joey Atlas Hip and Thigh Makeover Workout (toning only, no cardio). Have also ordered Brava but not using it yet - I know it's not scientific to try NBE and Brava together but I'm impatient!

BB hours this week (minutes):
0/0/69/45/60/0/90
