14 weeks over

Friday night was hopefully my last night ever with Brava. I kept the domes on as long as I could the next day, so I think I got 13 hours in. Funny, I hate sleeping on my back but I kept waking up on it even though I didn't have to last night! Old habits die hard!
I will update in a few days to let you know how much I shrink.

no idea...I have never measured myself because I don't think it would be accurate. I wouldn't know if I really grew or was holding the measuring tape differently. I go by how bras fit. When I started in the fall, I was a small B. I did 17 weeks and was a full B/small C. I stopped and went down to a full B. (I definitely shrunk but could wear the same bras) I started up again in winter and did 14 weeks...I am a pretty moderate to full C, depending on the bra. So far, today my boobs still feel great and I am filling out my padded c cup very nicely. I would guess (from past experience) that by next week at this time, what I have is what I am keeping. I expect to be a really full B (in a nonpadded bra) but a c in most bras (since I like padding)

Congratulations, Stacy! I am so proud of you. What an inspiration.
I fear stopping. I just completed week 23. I have about an inch growth after 12 hours off. But, if I lose half of that, I will really not be much of anywhere. If this is halfway (and I wish it was more growth), I have to go at least 52 weeks to retain anything. I have a long road and many years ahead of me.
You are my inspiration.

Congratulations
Just wondering if you outgrew your large domes? I am going for another cycle this fall to try to get a full C and am hoping I wont need another set of domes. Mine are in very good condition (only used the smartbox) and I can't afford replacement domes.

I never grew out of my large domes. I started in medium ones, 4 years ago, outgrew them after 20 weeks, moved into large and only had to order new ones because they didn't stick anymore. Even in the morning with all the swelling there was always around an inch of room between my breast and the end of the dome.
Full C was always what my ultimate goal....at this rate, I would have had to keep going for a LONG time....now I am a small C so to get to a full I bet I would have to go another 20 weeks at least. Just thinking about it makes me groan.....my husband would complain too much and I am tired of the insomnia!!!!

Stacy,
I imagine you must have had (and maybe still have) big reddish, 1" marks around parts of your breasts from the silicone rims. If so, how long did it take to get rid of them? I won't be able to wear any tank tops this summer unless they go up high, since I have round, high indentations far up on my chest. There is actually a line which shows marks from the sharper edge of the silicone rim.
You have gone for a long time. What did you do to help get rid of the redness?

Roakie--I never had this problem. Obviously for a few hours after the domes came off I had the ring and redness, but it would fade an other than a couple of times when I think I was extra sweaty (wore them in the warmer months) I never developed any kind of "rashiness" or markings that wouldn't go away. I just checked myself and i don't have one mark that would indicate Brava was on these breasts. I guess I just don't have sensitive skin. I do tend to react more when the domes are new but mine have been old for so long that there wasn't enough stickiness to irritate my skin.
