6-week Brava experiment

Well, I am just finishing up my fourth week. I have good swelling that basically diminishes to about 1/3 of the size about 6 hours later. I have been averaging about 16 hours per day since Day One since I am hoping to retain something before I leave for my week's vacation in 2 1/2 weeks where I can't bring my domes. I don't know what my breasts would look like if I waited twelve hours in between sessions, but it is possible (and likely) that they would go right back down to total flatness, which is where I started (negative AAA!)
I had some hopes for a little bit of growth until I read an old post on this forum last night that cited information from a Brava coach. I am now thinking that my six weeks of long hours are all for nothing. Discouraging. If initial growth only starts around Day 30, then I will basically see no real growth during these six weeks of wear. I truly will go back to square one and start completely over when I get back.
"There is no actual growth until the 30-45th day of wear for anyone, not matter how many hours you wear it. Everything you see up to that point is only swelling and would not be permanent. However, beyond that period of time, the body finally begins to multiply breast fat cells, slowly but continually, just like gaining weight and continues to do so throughout the program. You must still wear Brava for the minimal 10 week period no matter how many hours you wore it during the initial weeks. It is the extended length of time in weeks that encourages more growth."

Hi roakie i was just wondering where u found that quote, it acutally answered a question for me. I was just about to post a message saying how discouraged i was because i have been using brava for about 4 weeks now and i have been doing it anywhere from 15-21hours a day and my swelling was beautiful, but because i never really had my domes off for too long i was fooled into thinking swelling was growth until last night when i decided to let my chest breathe for a little bit and didnt wear my domes to bed and woke up looking not too much different from my before picture! I guess since i was allowing little time for the swelling to go down in between usage i was given false hopes that i was just a quick responder. So i would like to see what else this coach was saying.

Yesterday I had to leave the domes off for 13 hours due to some holiday travel. At the end of that time, I still had a tiny bit of swelling on the underneath portion of my breasts when viewed from the side and at an angle. I don't know how they would be after a few days, but I was slightly encouraged. I just wish I wasn't having to stop for 8 days right in the middle of this first session, but maybe I will start up again with a slight advance. Who knows? I am trying to stay optimistic!
