does anyone take breaks in their programs? for a week or three days?
I hear your body gets used to herbs after a while so it helps...
one time I took a three day break and not evening kidding I got more growing feelings in my breasts than before when I started back into it with high dose....I was mid cycle at the time ..could it simply be the hormones where still in my system ?....does anybody do this in their routines ? and if so how often should I consider or well this mess up my program.......one week every 2 months or? I already dose change throughout to keep my body guessing


I use breast herb pill and fg powder, cumin and fennel c=

thank you for any help c=

it's true, your body does get used to the hormones and will even start producing less (why most people who use bcp will get swelling and other symptoms of high hormones to start with till their own hormone production stops, then after stopping bcp it takes your body a while to make any more of its own). There are some herbs such as fenugreek and goat's rue which 'unregulate' your response to hormones, meaning you'll become more sensitive to whatever you are taking. I like to switch up the adaptogens i take every now and then to take advantage of this (fenugreek and goat's rue alternately). I'll take one until i reach a plateau then swap for a bit. When you stop supplementing hormones, though, there'll be a period of time before your body reboots its own production (it has to 'realise' you no longer have enough) and you might end up losing weight from your boobs and hips or gaining it in less 'feminine' places. When i take my 4-monthly break from bcp I take spearmint to ensure that I don't become androgen-dominant and lose my gains while my body is not making its own oestrogen and progesterone and neither am i supplementing with artificial hormones.
