Small Update:
Yesterday was the first day I took st john's wort (SJW). I got it a few days earlier from a different supplier and something else I ordered from them was completely empty when I got it!! Everything was damaged/expired so I didn't trust it even though it said it was good till 2018. Ordered it again from a different site and got it the next day!
I decided to start off with 300mg three times a day -- says to take with food probably because of the alcohol content in it.
So far I haven't noticed anything different really but online I read it can take a few weeks to notice any changes.
Breasts haven't changed much. I haven't been keeping up with massaging :/. No major swelling just a little bit and I lost two pounds again
so hard to keep my weight up! I want to try this food called Tahini which is supposed to be one of the healthiest calorie packed foods out there -- it's like a butter made from sesame seeds and sometimes it's used in hummus. I lovve hummus!
Also I have been taking my omeprazole + melatonin and I have definitely been burping less! But can't say if it's working yet. I'll find out next weekend when I do some binge drinking even though I shouldn't :[]. I'm going to a music festival so it will be hard to avoid alcohol since I would like to have some fun but I'm going to keep the drinking to a minimum for sure. I know I'll regret it if I drink a lot even if it's fun in the moment.
OH AND period update!
I guess I am finally balancing out! My period actually started on Wednesday which I think was the 28th day of my cycle which is awesome! I thought it started two days earlier because I had quite a bit of bright red blood but it happened during sex with my boyfriend. I thought it was my period but I stopped bleeding after that day. I guess he went a little too hard too close to my period :X.
I have been having some cramps but DEFINITELY not as bad as previous months! And my flow has been pretty normal (by normal I mean similar to how it was before my iud). I'll wait to see if it is a long period or shorter.
I have been applying coconut oil to my entire torso area and upper arms. Trying to see if it helps my uneven skin tone which I think is PMH (progressive macular hypomelanosis). Looks similar to tinea versicolor but is presumed to have something to do with p acnes on the skin. Coconut oil is supposed to kill p acnes and something that starts with a d in sweat does too lol.
But my skin has been SO soft from the coconut oil!! I love it!! You ladies should give it a try. It makes a great natural moisturizer. My skin has never felt this soft and I have used so many different lotions on my body. Love it!
