WEEK 1
So I've taken GB for seven days and so far so good.
DOSAGE:
Pills: 2 pills, 3x a day (after meals)
Extract: 1 dropper, 3x a day (after meals)
Bust tea: 1 bag, 2x a day (after breakfast and before I go to bed)
Extract for Breasts: For the first couple of days I tried massaging the extracts onto my breasts but I didn't like the sticky residue that it left behind, or the cloyingly sweet smell. I will just stick to using my own DIY massage oil for my breasts.
Side Effects: This week I've felt pretty good and normal. The first day I felt like the extracts were really strong, but since then, I haven't really been feeling any tenderness or soreness in my breasts. I did feel a little drowsy while taking the herbs for the first four days (had to take afternoon naps), but not so much anymore. Also, I have noticed that my sweat smells less offensive, and sweeter (like maple and licorice), which is weird but not such a bad thing either, lol.
Measurements: My measurements are pretty much the same as my Day 1 measurements. I have increased a centimeter or two in my bust but that could just be from swelling.
Progress so far?: I know it's way too soon to be expecting progress, but one thing I did notice is that usually during my follicular phase my breasts shrink, and I haven't experienced much shrinkage in these past 7 days. Possibly a great sign! We'll see after I logged my 1 month entry!!
Moving forward: So today is my ovulation day (or at least it should be) so I'm taking a break from the herbs. I think it's good to take breaks every now and then to prevent estrogen overload and also to prevent stalling. So my break days will be ovulation day and also day 1-7 of my period. I've also bought a lot of other herbs and supplements and after this 1 month is over, I plan to start cycling herbs for better efficacy. I'm not sure what my cycle plan will be yet, as I'm still structuring it, but I think I will end up taking GB herbs during my luteal phase and not my follicular phase because they have progestogenic qualities. I also think I will increase the GB dosage to 3 pills, 3x a day. But once again, I'm not entirely sure. Whatever I decide to do, I'll be sure notate it!
