Less swelling fifteen weeks!

I am in my fifteenth week. Not too optimistic. Actually, the swelling is getting less an less inside the domes, and going away more rapidly once they are off.
My domes don't seem to be leaking. I have tried both the smartbox and the airlock.
Has anyone else noticed that the swelling doesn't seem to increase?

I spoke to the Brava Coach last night at length. I am starting my 4th week and told her I don't seem to be swelling much. She told me as the weeks go on, I will swell more and more each day. I would call and leave a message for them to call you back.
Also, she told me that first thing in the AM to get a flashlight and look into the domes at the size of the breast and how many inches there are between the nipple and the end. It should be at least two inches. She said once you unplug the T-Tubing, the breasts automatically retract so that when you're looking at them they're automatically smaller the second the domes come off. I did that this morning and the swollen breasts were large when I looked in with the flashlight. So try that tomorrow morning. She also told me the manual airlock doesn't work because it's not how much you swell but how many hours you wear the domes and if you have it at the right pressure, which the smartbox will do (of course they're gonna say that).

I did call and leave a message today. I hope they call in the morning. It seems the nipple used to be a lot closer to the end of the domes when I looked. Now, they don't seem to do much at all. I will see what they have to say. Thanks!

I'm in my fifth weeks. I only see the big difference within the first one or two weeks. After that, I didn't see any new swelling. Wether I wear 10 hours or 13 hours, the swelling just stay at the same level, sometimes even less. If things contitue like this, I don't think I'll get any significant growth. I 'm thinking if I need to put in more pressure cause my body get used to the old pressure.

SENIOR MEMBER Swelling updates anyone? March 2 2009, 8:15 PM
As I almost finished 3 weeks of Brava, and still only get 1" of swelling, I was curious how the rest of you are doing? Roakie, Rox, Tingo? Anyone else want to share their "swelling history"? Is it possible to swell very little and still grow?
According to the Brava coach, it doesn't matter how much you swell, only that there is some kind of increase. I do want to believe her, and when I put the domes back on at night I have retained a tiny little bit, from 32.75" when I started to 33.25" that I am now, which is so small that it could be just measuring inaccurasies, but still, I'm hopeful!

I'm not swelling that much either. I measured in the AM a couple days ago. I only swell up to 35". My original measurement around the breast was 34" when I started. I'm just ending six full weeks. I've worn the domes every night for about 42 nights now w/o missing a night. I'm averaging 10.5 hours a night but even wearing them for 12 hours it's the same 1" swelling. So far I'm not seeing any results but my goal is 18 weeks - which is end of May. I don't want to wear these over the summer - I want freedom and it's too hot out.
Keep posting and let us know of any results ladies!!!

I am in the middle of week 9 and I don't have a huge swelling either. The most I have is 2 inches but usually I only have one inch, maybe one and a half. Since I am retaining 5 cm, (2 inches) after 12 hours off, I am quite sure it is not the amont of swelling that makes you grow. If it was like that, the smartbox would be designed to create greater vacuum with bigger swelling!

I am starting my eighteenth week with no missed nights and an average of 14 hours per night. The most swelling I get is about 1 1/2 inches, either with the smartbox or manual suction.
By twelve hours off, it is ALL gone. I am very frustrated.

Tingo, Rox and Cousin Rose, thank you for you updates! It's an encouragement to hear that I'm not alone with this moderate swelling - actually it's probably to prefer since if would freak my husband out if I was swelling to a C or D from my tiny AA...Please keep us updated of your progress!
Roakie, you are amazing for being so persistant! Don't give up!! I think that I read that you're an avid swimmer - perhaps you should cut down on swimming for a while? I know that exercise in general is good, but too much exercise in the chest area can be contradictory. Also, have you tried hypnosis? I find it so relaxing and nice, perhaps that could also boost your boobs?
