It's not a scam. I know it seems hopeless sometimes, and I, too, have wanted to give up on more than one occasion. I'd see the same thing as you - one after another updating their threads with lovely increases. BUT - you've got to remember that this can be a very slow progress for many of us, myself included. I started my adventure - again - in February of 2014, and as of this morning I've gained an inch. Doesn't seem like much and I can't see where it is but I know it's there. The tape doesn't lie. Some of us, myself included, are very slow responders for one reason or another. Each persons body chemistry is different and what works for one may not (and usually doesn't) work for the next. I've tried it all and have gone around the loop with BO and PM. Right now I'm back on PM because I don't think I gave it a fair try last summer. On BO, I had ONE growth spurt where I picked up 1/2". During that time I was also focusing on massage, and more importantly IMO, positive thoughts. I had the growth spurt the very next day after I spent twenty minutes before going to sleep thanking my body for giving me 5 beautiful kids and thanking my breasts (yes, sounds weird, but whatever works) for nourishing them and helping them grow into the amazing people they've become. I then felt my breasts tingling and felt a tightness. The VERY NEXT day, I had let-down sensations all day long (moms who have nursed will know exactly what I mean) and three days later I measured and I'd gained my 1/2". Since then (February of this year) the next 1/2" came slowly and crept up on me a smidge at a time - nothing dramatic. Up until February of this year, I'd gained NOTHING for an entire year. I truly believe that positive thinking did the trick and now, because I KNOW I can grow, the positive thoughts are always there and working even if I'm not talking to myself every single night. Discouragement, though understandable, blocks your positive thoughts. I know I must sound like a crazy lady (sometimes I'm sure my husband thinks I am), but I can assure you the right combination is out there for you. The ladies and gents on this site are an invaluable source of experience and information. I've not been at this nearly as long as some of them and each time I come here, I learn something new and helpful, so I'm sure someone with more knowledge can help you better than I. I apologize for the long ramble, but I really wanted to let you know that you're not alone in this, and I'll be sending lots of positive thought your way. HUGS!!!
