Breast Update:


I think I need to apply PM at a different time. I started applying it on Day 6 I think and normally I end my period on day 8 or 9 - usually just a little bit of spotting during the last few days. I have long periods because of my IUD - before the iud I would have like 5 day periods or 4 days sometimes - really short.
But this time, it seemed like the PM EXTENDED my period. I had spotting up until day 12 or 13 I think!
Has anyone had this happen? I've heard of pm delaying the start of a period or causing spotting mid cycle but havent heard anyone have issues with it extending their period.
It makes sense though - estrogen builds up the walls of your uterus or something like that and your period is the shedding of the walls - so too much estrogen causes more "wall" to be expelled out.

I think this time I might start on Day 1 of my period or day 2/3 and then stop on day 10 or 11. My body responded well to stopping earlier. I had some mid cycle cramps on day 15 (sign that I ovulated). I'll use the same total amount of PM extract so I will be applying less each day.

Also, I will be dissolving the PM powder into rosehip seed oil then mixing it into my Vit E lotion.


Luteal Phase Notes

So I haven't had any substantial crazy growth. I think I will get 1/4" of growth from this cycle. Which hey I'm happy with But it's hard to tell. I hate measuring with a tape measurer - I just can't do it accurately! lol.
I thought I gained weight but I think I have just softened up a little bit from not being able to work out too consistently the past 3 weeks. or from water weight from the estrogen.
All of my measurements were the same (waist, underbust, bust etc) surprisingly but my breasts look fuller to me.

What messed me up during my luteal phase is that I went to an event last weekend and I was breaking out SO BAD for three days!! I had these tiny, skin-colored bumps all over my face mostly on my cheeks and forehead though! I have never in my life had a breakout this bad - in fact, I have never really had bad breakouts. I have mostly clear skin all the time. So I thought maybe it had something to do with my progesterone levels (I broke out really bad the day after I first started using a higher dose of PC) so I stopped using that for 4 days. But the pimples weren't really hormone pimples. I found out it was from this new face cleanser I tried ONCE - it had a highly comedogenic ingredient in it. yikes.
So at least it wasn't from hormones - but it threw off my PC application so I think I couldve gotten more growth this month.
I have been applying one dose every other day - I dont want to overdo it.


ALSO I have been having some serious scalp issues.
At first it started out feeling really really sore - like when you leave your hair up in a ponytail for too long. But I never tie my hair up. Then the soreness dissipated a little bit and it was getting extremely itchy. Just always itchy - I eventhought I might have lice! lol but I didnt. Then I got some weird white grain like things like dandruff but I have had dandruff and it didn't look the same/the itchiness usually doesn't accompany it.
I was researching for days what it could be then I came across the most likely cause --
i read that it's called a "sensitive scalp" and can happen when there is an imbalance in sebum production (too little sebum) which I think is what happened from drinking spearmint tea each day.
Which is still weird because my face still gets more oily than I would like but I guess my scalp is dry?
It has progressed into being more flakey dry now. So I stopped drinking the tea to take a little break. I haven't had instant relief yet but it does feel less sore and less itchy i think.

Hormones can be scary. I just cant wait until I am done with all of this business!


One last thing sorry this post is extremely long.
I have been looking for new bras. I really want some 28 band bras. The smallest I have are 30 and they have stretched out now. But I am petite so I always have this issue of the sides of the bra digging into my armpits! Its not because it's the cups are too big either - I have quadboob in my 32Cs and still get that digging pain. I think maybe my breasts just sit higher up and I have a narrow torso. So I am looking for a demi cup 28 band bra with preferably a little padding and narrow straps and narrow wires. Woo! It's been tough searching for that lol.
