Why doesn't it work for all?
June 2 2005 at 1:20 PM Chatbox (no login)
How come some are successful with the herbs/pills, while others have no results at all? Is that something to do with genetics? That means, if u have big breasted mum or sis, your chances of having bigger breasts are higher than those with AA/ A cup mum or sis? Perhaps genetics influences fat storage in your body?

Chatbox,
I hate to say it, but anyone who even tries to answer that question would be merely guessing. There are way too many variables to say why. But what I know of genetics does say that it could have a role to play, but not in the way that you suggested necessarily. It all depends on your personal gene combination not those of you parents or siblings. My mom and baby sis are DD's, yes, but my older sis is a AA, and I'm a B. The gene pool is really quite big.
But do not dispair. If the herbs you have tried are not working it may just be the combination or the quantity that is preventing success. It really isn't a one-size-fits-all issue. If you are using a name brand product now, review the product list and the quantity of each ingredient if it is given or total quantity of the product if it is not. You probably already have heard of the top four being fenugreek, saw palmetto, fennel and wild yam, with others like chaste berry, red clover, black cohosh and more thrown in. Pick your preferred 2 products and start taking them. You may want to start with one for a couple days or week and build up to 2 until you are taking about 3000mg equivalent of each. It takes time, too. 3-4 months should show some effect. If there is no effect after 6 months, then that combo is probably not for you. So either add another herb to what you are taking or replace one of the herbs with another herb on the list.
It all takes time, and unless you run an awesome herb farm, money, but it can work. In the meantime, while you are working on it, find a great water or gel bra that adds a cup for that extra pick me up. The Victoria's Secret Very Sexy brand is pretty good and looks and feels very natural even to the person wearing it.
Also, if you are not taking a multivitamin, start. You'd be surprised how just slight deficiencies in your diet can affect your hormones, and that will have a big effect on breast development. Plus, considering the depleted state of the American food supply, its just a good idea.

I thought I read on some of the commercial breast enlargement pills' websites that their pills will make you as big as possible according to what has been pre-determined by your genes. So maybe some people have not experienced growth with breast enlargement pills because they have already reached their "max potential." But as Prettysoulful said, I could be merely guessing. And there are so many different herbal combinations for breast enlargement.
Cya!

As a doctor and also as someone who has studied genetics, I believe that your chances of having big breasts are indeed higher if big breasts run in your family, but there are also many other considerations. The human genome contains the characteristics used to put each person together, but it's too simplistic to say that if you're short it's because you were predetermined to be short by your genome. That argument would assume that you know that the lack of growth hormone in the body causing the shortness was due to genetics and not to another random variable that limited the body's release of growth hormone. The same argument applies to lack of breast growth. You may be small breasted because of a genetic trait, but that is only one possibility as there are many reasons why a woman may have small breasts. In puberty her hormones may not have been released in the right quantities at the right time, for which there could be many possible causes quite unrelated to genetics. Breast growth is essentially a reaction to hormonal stimulus and not generally a condition that is locked into some genetic code. Genetics is no doubt the explanation in some cases, but in reality it's not very high on the list of possibilities and it's unlikely to be a common explanation for a lack of breast growth.
