5 week update

So has the first 5 weeks flown away! Since my measures differ so much, it's hard to know exactely how much is happening, but there seems to be an increase of between 0.25" - 0.75". I've been using the Smartbox all nights but one. I'm having a skin rash, hickey marks and bruises after that night with airlock at a much higher pressure, but I also had much better swelling (1,75"): )) As soon as all that heals I'll try it again, but a bit more gentle. I wish brava would make a smartbox where you can control the pressure, as the one setting it has now seems to be too low for me.
My nipples are giving me a hard time, so I'm taping them down most nights. When I do that, the swelling gets much more attractive and round, full looking, but I'm still sore in my nipples...
Goddness, how easy it is to get greedy! After that big swelling day I wonder how long I'd have to use Brava to have that as a permanent result...I just love being able to fill a B-cup!!

Awesome, elusia! What a great incentive to keep going.
I have been using the airlock and I don't notice any greater swelling at this point. Even worse, my new domes of three weeks are already bubbling on the inside of the silicone rim and the plastic cover has broken off part of the inside. I don't use a strong airlock at all. I am going to have to contact the company. So far, two broken smartboxes and a set of domes, and I only have about a half-inch of swelling left after twelve hours and nineteen weeks of use.
But, I am continuing! Hurray for you!

Thank you for the encouragement, Roakie! It's great that you finally retain 1/2"! Just keep going!!
I'm sorry to hear about the problems with the domes : ( Yes, you should contact the company, I hope they'll be able to give you a new pair or something.
Here's to patience and endurance and a reward of a fuller bra in the end ; ))!
