Minor Program Tweaks and Booby Update
I have stopped taking vitex (as of about 5 days ago maybe a week ago). I think it has been making my skin oily. I read dht levels can rise with progesterone and vitex favors progesterone.. I have been a straight oil SLICK! I might have had skin this oily back when I started puberty but can't remember exactly - it might be worse. It's been out of control. And I was just starting to calm down my oily skin too when I was on bcp (ortho tri cyclen lo is often prescribed for oily skin).
I have also decided not to use both e cream and pc during luteal. I seem to be leaning towards e dom - I can tell because my vag has been really wet lol and creamy.
I think today is day 16 (need to check my period app) so I will just do pc at night from now on.
Also! I added more spearmint tea. I was drinking 2 cups a day a few weeks ago but it didn't seem to help my oilyness. This week I started drinking four cups a day (1 tea bag per 8 ounces) and I have seen a pretty good reduction in oil already. Could also be from starting to use my BHA exfoliant more often - trying to use it every night now instead of sporadically throughout the week.
My skin has been breaking out for some reason. It could be a number of factors. I hope it's not because of hormones although it could be.. but I've had these larger pimples on the left side of my cheek and only on that side! and then one on my chin. I rarely break out so this is odd. I usually don't touch pimples and put tea tree oil on them until they go away but this time i couldn't resist - tried popping one on my cheek and it just stays the same. It's been there for like a week and a half now
Okay onto BOOBIES!
My breasts are definitely growing! I tried on a sports bra from when I first started nbe and my goal was to have my boobs touching/have that cleavage line in them -- let me tell you - I definitely have that and THEN some!
It feels great to be so close to my goals. I definitely still want some more growth though.
I really think the st john's wort is contributing the most to my growth. I get some tingles/soreness each day but nothing overwhelming. In fact i have to pay close attention to even notice it.
I am still repeating my positive affirmation every day but I have slowed down on massaging. I should massage more for shape/firmness..
Next cycle I think I will skip the E cream and just use some pc in luteal maybe. I like how things are going now
