Congrats to moving up in dome size and successfully so! When I first tried it a year ago I didn't get any swelling but tons of skin problems from the rings and had to go back to large. Now I don't even fill the large so it's nothing to even think about.
I'm also bummed to hear that the NB softrings didn't fit - I'm still waiting fot them to arrive and thought they would provide much needed comfort! Is it that they don't fit the BB domes or is it that the BB is too strong and suck them in? You do have both types of domes (NB and BB), right?

You name it I've bought it! I ordered the NB large but got the medium by mistake, it didn't matter as even with huge Brava swelling and using the BB machine on full to pump I was never able to get a seal not even doing one at a time. I have tried a couple of times since but as my underbust seems to be dwindling to nothing and they're actually shallower than the BB medium I didn't think there was any point hanging on to them so I passed them on to someone else (who incidentally is using them successfully). The BB large are 0.5cm larger in diameter than the NB medium but a lot deeper, the rings are made to fit the NB medium and having fiddled with them myself I don't understand how anyone could have used the rings with the BB XL which are bigger still. The problem is that the sides of the rings isn't deep enough so the whole lot gets pulled into the domes and basically sucked towards where the air goes out until you lose the seal then you have to take the whole lot off and fish it out. I wouldn't mind if I could even do 5 minutes but it's less than 2 however carefully I position the bits. I've also tried sellotaping them together (not strong enough) and putting the rings under the silicone sheeting hoping they wouldn't get pulled through the hole into the domes (they did). Will consider supergluing them onto the foam sheeting that I'm waiting for from Lucy at NB or giving them away, they're very light so the postage cost in the UK would be negligable.
I wouldn't say I was having great success with the BB XL, seems to be getting worse not better! Was honestly considering bashing them against my chest of drawers until they break both late last night and first thing this morning. I have now given up attempting to do both at once, it's quicker to do 15 mins on left and right separately and spend a few minutes getting the seal than spend half an hour swearing at them with no luck. The 2x 15 mins wasn't too difficult although to get them on tight enough they don't drop off I have to put the suction on almost full so it hurts, hopefully will have more joy with the foam sheeting. On the bright side doing 30 mins with large then 5 mins with XL gives more swelling than doing 60 mins with large so hopefully this is the key to making some progress.

On the bright side I couldn't get a seal yesterday morning so I gave up and went back to bed! There was still a noticeable if not measureable difference in roundness and fullness all round but especially at the top after about 20 hours of not wearing.
Hopefully when I get the double size foam sheets I'll be able to go back to doing both together.
Halfway there now!
(Have been eating way too much rubbish due to stress - hope I'm not getting fat!)

Most 32Ds fit ok after about 12 hours but not sure if I'm retaining much except on the sternum! Hopefully growth starts now!
Couldn't keep up with the herbs for more than a few days, not been great with WU and haven't exercised for ages. Eating too much. Probably more like 109-110 lbs than 105 lbs. Will worry about this after the house and building stuff is sorted.

Still using 60 mins 2x daily, eating a lot of rubbish and gave up on herbs ages ago. May try PM at some point and probably going on to Yasmin soon. Weight about 107-108 lbs. Boobs still hovering around 33, and underbust about 26.25. Think BB has made them look bigger, and maybe measure bigger individually but think it's also given them a lift so that the biggest part of the breast doesn't correspond to the widest part of my back. Still having internet problems so not posting much. Should update when I finish BB in about 3 weeks.

I apologize in advance if posting on you program page was a no-no. I was just interested to see that halfway thru your program you were diagnosed with PCOS and was prescribed Metformin. And indeed, you have lost some weight 120 to 105 during the course of your program and this is exactly what metformin does.
I'm suffering from PCOS myself (plus on a NBE program) and am having REAL trouble conceiving. Just wondering if you had any children and conceived them naturally?

It's known that PCO can give fertility probs - there's medication you can take for it but can't remember what, I don't really like kids anyway so not in a rush!

Did get a little growth from BB though seemed to be more in terms of muscly pecs than actual boobs and really high up.
Had total break from everything but occasional magnet use, did lose more from boobs, weight fluctuating as mainly eating rubbish.
Taking 500mg metformin 2x daily, switched from Dianette to Yasmin and probably feel better for it.
Really should be taking oils, vitamins, protein etc but feeling lazy, must also start back with Callanetics, will also reconsider PM and herbs.
Started back with Brava Monday 01.09.08 - will be keeping hours low for first couple of weeks to try to minimise rashes. Also hoping to use BB for 1 hour before each Brava session and then keep the Brava average to around 14 hours per day.

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!

Intend to get a blood test for hormone levels in the next few weeks.Silicone sheeting is almost torn beyond use. Have managed to use small piece of foam sheeting + rubber sheeting to do one boob at a time with the XL domes. Obviously this gives time problems. Have been doing 30-40 mins for both with large domes then switching but I can go stright to the XL with the thick sheeting and 30 mins like this gives pretty good swelling, at least 32DD. May have to do 30 mins each in the morning then 45-60 mins each in the evening as I get time. Will probably have to start recording times.

Intend to get a blood test for hormone levels in the next few weeks.Using the NB foam sheeting, after one session it was pulled about a bit and had gone a slightly funny shape but not torn yet. Can hardly feel it and finally the suction is actually on the boobs rather than just pressure on the ribs. Trying to do 45-50 mins AM and 60 mins PM. Got 8 weeks left. The swelling from 60 mins BB is pretty similar to in a whole night with Brava. After the break I'll probably do 30 mins BB before each Brava session as a warm-up. Wow - this time next year could've got the 32D.

Have given up with herbs for the time being. Measurements quite variable but I swear the 32C is pretty full and I have some roundness. Measured about 33.5-33.75 today after 11.5 hours but had just eaten. Jeans feel worryingly tight! NB sheeting still going but boob-holes getting bigger and it's gone a bit of a funny shape. Still get pretty good swelling. Wonder if I should try layering the sheeting so I can turn the SESL up further.
