Okay, so here goes my current program and my previous trial:
Starter size: AA
FROM MID SEP 2005 TO MID FEB 2006: I took a product called Bust Plus
Ingredients: equal doses of fenugreek, fennel, hops and chinese yam, did not state how much exactly.
I took the whole dose (3 pills) once a day, in the morning, didn't drink coffee and didn't massage. I only noticed tingling right after I started taking it, but it stoped after about two weeks. I noticed fullness, hadn't had much pains, and NO real growth.
FROM MID MARCH: separate herbs SP and FG:
First month: smaller doses - 1080 mg of SP whole berry and 1830 mg of FG a day (in two doses - morning and evening), didn't massage,didn't notice much happening.
Second month: raised the doses - sth like 1620 mg of SP whole berry and ~2440 - 3660 mg a day, experimented with changing doses, divided the daily dose on three times per day.
I usually drank a cup of coffe a day. I got most pains when I suddenly changed the daily dose - like the day I took the lowest dose after I took the highest the previous day, but overall still very few pains and no growth.
NOW: starting third month on separate herbs: size still AA
Routine:
Morning: 540 mg SP, 1020 mg FG, 1000 mg borage oil, massage with cocoa butter
Afternoon: 540 mg SP, 1020 mg FG (+ 1 cup of coffee)
Evening: 540 mg SP, 610 mg FG, 1000 mg borage oil, massage with cocoa butter
I have a losion of which cocoa butter is the main ingredient and it also contains aloe vera and vitamin E. I am not yet sure how milk thistle is supposed to be taken and what I'll decide in regards to brakes. I hope this works for me.

I've had more problems with gastric acid too, which I've always had, but recently even more. I don't know if that also may have to do with taking so many pills. I've been given some medications which I hope will soom make things better.

morning:
610 mg FG
310 mg hops
40 mg ginko biloba
1000 mg borage oil
afternoon:
610 mg FG
340 mg SP
310 mg hops
40 mg ginko biloba
evening:
610 mg FG
310 mg hops
40 mg ginko biloba
That is standard, but sometimes I add also one capsule of milk thistle (don't know how many mg it is) and 500 mg barley on a day. I massage one or two times a day, as I have time. I use a mix of the normal / 'chi' massage (rotations up and inwards) and Tge Lilly's technique (hard massage with knuckles in smal cricles arround the breasts).
As my first routine was unsucessful, I didn't expect much from this one either, but I'm actually having some pains now, which before I never did, or hardly ever.
Two most important changes I made are that I went off BCP and added ginko biloba, becasue after research I guessed that the reason NBE is not working for me could be BCP or poor blood circulation (which is stimulated by ginko biloba).
Now I'm a bit more hopeful. I will also try other herbs, probably switch hops with wild yam, or maybe even SP with nettle.

88 cm over bust
75 cm underbust
I won't measure again untill I think I can measure some difference.
Since on my new routine, I've had some actual growing pains for the first time ever. On my former routines I had them only for a day or two after I changed my routine and then they went away, so normally the most I got was one quick stab in a day but most of the time nothing whatsoever.
Now I get several persistent pains during the day, in some days, mostly in the luteal phase and the days arround ovulation. There are sill some days when I only get one or two quick stabs and nothing more and during my perio and I'm very hopeful about that being a good sign.
I think the difference goes to gink biloba which improved my circulation. I notice other definite signs that my circulation is better than growing pains, I'm not cold anymore now and before I was always freezing.

The pains in my second cycle after adding ginko biloba returned after period, were cosistend arround ovulation, but disappeared in the luteal phase. After definite signs of improved circulation, they went away and I was again cold and without much pains. In the third cycle, I had pains during the period and around ovulation, but none so far in the lutheal phase.
Okay, so here goes my current program and my previous trial:

I drank tea that is ment for kidney and bladder problems and it got better quite soon, but I keep drinking it cause I've always been prone to bladder infections and it seems to help.

I won't measure again untill I think I can measure some difference.
Since on my new routine, I've had some actual growing pains for the first time ever. On my former routines I had them only for a day or two after I changed my routine and then they went away, so normally the most I got was one quick stab in a day but most of the time nothing whatsoever.
Now I get several persistent pains during the day, in some days, mostly in the luteal phase and the days arround ovulation. There are sill some days when I only get one or two quick stabs and nothing more and during my perio and I'm very hopeful about that being a good sign.
I think the difference goes to gink biloba which improved my circulation. I notice other definite signs that my circulation is better than growing pains, I'm not cold anymore now and before I was always freezing.

Quote:Okay, so here goes my current program and my previous trial:One more thing about the pains... As I said I attribute them to the action of ginko biloba. I didn't notice a difference right away, but about two weeks after adding it. The pains appeared in my previous cycle as a total surprise and went with period. I was very hopeful and nervous to see if they come back in my next cycle and so I know they weren't a conscequence of a change. I'm in my second cycle now and the pains did come back, but I expect more of them in the following days. In my previous cycle, I've also noticed the increasing size in boobs before period which then gows down with period which is also supposed to be a good sign or an early stage of growing. If I get both of those signs in this cycle, I'll be happy as hell.
