Looks like a really good plan, any updates?

it's been a while, whoops! but now that i've graduated college, hopefully this means i can be more consistent in my nbe ventures! 

TLDR the routine above didn't last long––sorry for the anticlimactic update!––mainly because i had a roommate, so i had to put everything nbe on pause again. now im back with a new plan! 

i finally started again the other day with 1-2x/day 610mg fenugreek capsules (which i try to follow up with chi massaging to encourage blood flow once it enters the bloodstream––idk if this works, but it makes sense to me lol) and at least 10-20 mins of massaging a day. i saw some people in another thread discussing making a flaxseed-infused oil for massaging, so i've started that today: i put some extra virgin olive oil and grapeseed oil in a container with maybe 1/3 the volume of ground flaxseed, i'll shake/stir the contents for a week or two (depending on how impatient i get lol) to let the estrogenic properties seep into it, then hopefully it'll be effective when i start using it! 

i'm debating getting fennel capsules, but i want to do some more research before i'm sure. any personal anecdotes on that welcomed! what i really want to get is goat's rue, but i haven't found a discrete enough way of acquiring it (due to its packaging and that it's not as casually obtainable as the other herbs i've mentioned––i live with my family and need to keep this on the down-low). if someone knows of a more general herb with a similar makeup/effect (mainly the breast tissue-building), please let me know lol. i'm also considering getting into soy milk, but i'm mixed due to inconsistent results i've read in some threads. 

anyways, the fenugreek and massaging have only had a few days to work but so far it's been nice: good firmness and plumpness, but my period's due within the next week so some of it could be from that. i'm normally a very inconsistent person when it comes to routines in general, and that coupled with good nbe usually taking a long time, i just really want this to work out this time lol. 

i'll leave this off with a question: i feel i could benefit from the anti-androgenic properties of spearmint tea, both for nbe and in daily life. but as someone who, despite wanting, doesn't enjoy tea 95% of the time (aside from boba lol), should i get it anyway and force myself to get used to it, or is there an herb/compound with similar effects that i may enjoy taking more? or maybe a more beginner-friendly-tasting alternative?
