Hi Tesa,
Thanks for the encouragement, had some really loud brava 'farts' when I was on the phone to my accountant this morning! I told him I had this 'rubber thing' that kept making funny noises but was still embarassed. Think I got past it by not sounding too flustered. Not sure which I should be ashamed of - booby problem or fart noise!

In the evenings I just rubbed away excess cream with a cloth and used Brava skin prep before putting domes on (no washing). The build up of zinc cream on the domes rubs off quite easily.
Brava told me it is normal to get less swelling after a while as your body gets used to the tension but I still get a lot more after a long session and/or more suction. Still need to be careful with the addictive suction to avoid further rash and skin a bit itchy along the far sides.
Brava hours this week:
13/12.25/13.75/15/10.75/17/14
Total: 95.75, Average: 13.68
Total so far: 1062.75, Average: 15.18
Bust measurement before domes: 33.25-33.75
Waist: 25, Weight: 109 lbs
Have been absolutely fine with the metformin - thank God! Have granary toast for breakfast and take them after. Have started nerdy diet diary and actually not doing badly, eating more protein than I thought, possibly slightly more fat and sugar but fairly low carbs and fairly low calories. Intend to start vitamin supplements but a bit worried as a lot of them contain a lot of C which apparently affects progesterone. Will start the WU at the weekend when I've finished my 7-day BCP break, then at the end of the next pack will go over to Dianette. Had blood tests for testosterone, SHBG, thyroid and liver function. Will wait for result and then consider kelp for circulation if I'm not low enough thyroid to go on thyroxine. If I do get thyroxine as well as metformin my dieting days might be over! Still thinking about Goat's Rue.
Must drink more water and why can't I force myself to exercise?
Going to HK on Sunday to visit hubby so will have domes off for about 28 hours...a cliffhanger till next week then to see if I retain any!

Average: 13.89
Total so far: 1160l.25, Average: 15.07
Did leave domes off from 8am Sunday till about 9pm Monday (+7 hour time difference) so about 32 hours. Measured about 32.75 after that, so although not great there does seem to be some residual growth.
No more probs with metformin, choked on a tablet so not been taking vitamins or WU but must get back to them. Thigh excercises may be having slight effect - more in terms of muscle feels firm than looking better. Just passed the 2 stone weight loss mark.

Back from hols now (halfway through week 13). Not sure whether to start WU now or wait until after I double the metformin or until I start dianette. Again had about 20 hours without domes and was 32.25-33 depending on repeat measurements - hopefully there is some growth as I'm nearly at the halfway point. Noticed more than anything that bras are more full. Haven't actually put on any weight in last 2 weeks.

Start dianette tomorrow and metformin up to 2x daily from next week. Will probably start WU again tomorrow too. When finished fasting will worry about protein and vitamins and water etc.
33.75 (34.5 bending) after 12+ hours domes off so hopefully making progress. Listening to Andrew Dobson 2x daily and got tingles nearly all the time. Thinking about trying Noogleberry after Brava session finishes.

Quote:My weight has always been up and down as I have a very bad diet but luckily can lose weight very easily when I try. At my fattest my boobs are almost respectable - full 34A, but have gone from 135lbs to 120lbs and lost a lot on top. My aim is to balance my upper and lower body to minimise my pear shape. I'm 25, never been pregnant, don't drink / smoke, don't like coffee, don't have many fizzy drinks, strict veggie but don't like many vegetables so have a high carb intake from potatoes and pasta, probably androgen dominant. Had bad skin since age 22 but went back on the pill recently and that fixed it in 6 weeks (microgynon 30). Intend to get a blood test for hormone levels in the next few weeks.I am actually retaining some now, not loads but not measured under 33 for a long time and the swelling lasts longer than it did a few weeks ago so hopefully the growth starts here. If I really breathe out as far as I can I get 32.5 (when I first started this was 31-31.5 so hopefully something's happening). Have been keeping the hours short and really looking after my skin. After going topless indoors covered in hydrocortisone to no effect on my last day off I really felt that I wanted to use my natural face products for the rash and they fixed it in about 3 days without missing a Brava session, alhamdulillah. I just washed with water (no soap) after taking the domes off then used:
Stats:
Height 5'1
Weight 120lbs
Hips 36
Waist 25
Underbust 28
Bust 31
Bust bending 32.5
Would like to be 33+ around boobs as that is what I measure over a padded bra! Anything more would be a bonus, main point is not to put on weight.
Plan: Taken Microgynon BCP for 1 month to check for any adverse effect (have taken it before with no probs), started Wonderup 1 week ago, intend to continue on WU alone for 1 month to check for side effects before introducing nettles and borage oil. Trying to eat more protein and doing Joey Atlas Hip and Thigh Makeover Workout (toning only, no cardio). Have also ordered Brava but not using it yet - I know it's not scientific to try NBE and Brava together but I'm impatient!

Not sure if it was the metformin or taking too many vitamins with only a slim fast before going out. Was sweaty and dizzy, indigestion, abdominal pain and feeling like I was about to get diarrhoea (which I didn't). Have felt the same on and off since. I think it could be caused by lack of food maximising the disturbance to the stomach lining but have also read online that eating anything sweet or fatty can play it up. Will try to persevere. Also have a slight headache but that could be stress.

Think it could've been either the sweetness of the slim fast or too many vitamin tablets at once that did it yesterday.
