Started week 5 - just a little update

Since I love reading about updates I am sharing mine
I'm 3 days into week 5 and it's so much easier to wear the domes now and I always get my 8 hours each night. Since I don't move at all during my sleep I unzip the black bra during the night and sleep with the smartbox on my upper chest. I don't even feel it is there.
I swell a lot more now than I did, 2-3 inches, and when I put the domes on at night I am bigger than my original measurements. My original measurements is 90 cm (35,4 inches) bust but now I am 93-94 cm (36,6-37 inches) before I put my domes on again. If that will be my final measurements in this cycle I will be so happy
Since this is the best time to try to work on breast symmetry I have now started to use the domes for 12 hours on my bigger breast and all the extra wear time goes to my smaller one. The difference is only about half a cm to one cm, but it is noticeable and I want to even it out.

This is great news. They say after four weeks it's real growth so I'm hopeful. What size bra did you wear with the 35.4 measurement? Are you still wear it all day or is it too tight yet?

That is awesome news. So, you are averaging at least 12 hours every night? And you have about 12 hours in between putting them on again at night?

Hi Rox3 and Roakie
I wore a 34B sometimes 32C with my 35,4 measurement. I don't wear any bras during the day now since my 34B's are too tight so I just use bikini tops. I am really hopeful this will work but I am prepared for the worst (loosing everything after I finish).
I only once did 11 hours, apart from that my minimum is 12 hours. I try to average 14 hours and have gone up to 18 hours. It really counts to be able to wear the domes during the morning and early afternoon and having no skin problems (knocking on wood).
I try to put them on within the 12 hours but I have gone longer than 12 hours in putting them on again, I once had 15 hours in between. I am wondering what the maximum time is. It says 13 hours in my manual (UK) but the original time of wear was just 10 hours a day so that means they had at least 14 hours in between sessions every day. So I am guessing 14 is safe. I don't count my 15 hours as a lost day.

Wow! I am impressed. I've been three weeks now and doing 7PM-5AM which is about 10 hours. Most I've ever gone is 11 hours once. Never longer than 11. I get very antsy...need to get them off because I really start to itch and have a slight rash by the armpit. It goes away in between but then it's back the next morning. Do you think 10 hours is enough? I think I will try 11-12 this weekend when I can sleep in. I have to be to work early so that stinks for the weekdays

If you are a fast responder 10 hours would probably be enough to see some results if you can do many weeks. The minimum according to my brochure is 12 hours and I don't want to take any chances since I don't fit the category of a fast responder. I am aiming for longer hours and fewer weeks and I guess the other way around does the same. How many weeks are you plannig on doing? Putting them on at 7 every night must be really hard and putting them on at 5 every day to get 12 hours seems impossible.
I used to itch as well and it really helps not to wear the black bra or have it unzipped while you sleep. I haven't had a bad itch for at least 2 weeks (started week 6 yesterday) and my armpits never hurt anymore.
Good luck

Hi,
Question....if you don't wear the black bra what do you wear? Do the domes still stick w/o it? I plan to do 18 weeks total. Just starting week 4 now. I go on vacation at the end of my 18 weeks so I'm going to do it until then and see what I end up with. If it's not too great, I will plan to start up again in the fall once the nice weather is gone and it's cold outside. I don't think I could do this in the summer...it's too hot with the domes I have read.
How's it going? Are you still doing well with it? What is your goal size/number of weeks?

Hi Rox3
I don't wear anything instead of the black bra. Mine stay on without it if I lie on my back. It probably depends on wheather you move a lot in your sleep or not. It also makes you sweat less.
I think it's going pretty well. I am halfway through week 6 and no big problems. I only hate not being able to snuggle with my boyfriend and he can't wait until I finish (he is being very supportive though). So I am counting down the weeks until I finish 12 weeks. After that I will see how much I can handle and probably do less hours. I am hoping I will last 14-16 weeks. In 16 weeks I am going overseas so I can't do longer than that.
My goal size is 34C. If I don't reach it with brava I am going back to herbs, diet and massage. I AM going to reach it eventually
Was a 34B to start with.
How are you doing? Is it itching as much now? What is your goal size?

So far it's going okay except for a small rash on the left side by the armpit. Called the Brava Coach for the first time last night for about a 1/2 hour. Very informative lady! She switched my skin care routine. Basically the $100 skin care kit isn't working for me so I'm using over the counter (cheaply priced!) stuff. Seems to be better.
It's hard to get things done at night once the domes go on. My kids crack up. They keep asking me what kind of "medical device" I have. It's hard on the social life too. You really have to be home to get those 10+ hours in and go to work the next morning, but it's winter and I'm motivated so far. My goal is 18 weeks - we'll see if I can stand the domes and sleeping on my back with pillows that long. That's been the hardest part of me. I'll post again and let you know.
