Hi Wahaika,
I was just looking over my old calendar from last year...and I am starting to think for sure I am stalled. I didn't write down everything like I do in my journal now...but enough info is there. I started taking wonderup in August of 2009. I don't have anything written down until Jan. 2010 so I will start there. I was taking 2 pills 3 times/day which I guess is around 1500 mg I think. I would always get soreness around day 20-22 of my cycle with swelling lasting till about day 3 of the next cycle. I guess I didn't think I was growing because on March 1st I upped my dosage by 1 pill which would bring me to around 2000mg. I wrote down that I didn't experience any soreness that month at all. In April I did a stall test on day 7 of my cycle (probably the wrong time!) I wrote down that maybe some soreness returned around day 14. I then resumed my program on day 2 of my following cycle. I ramped up on day 13 to 2000 and added SP. I don't have anything really written down for the next few months except that I stopped all NBE on September 8th. I also wrote down that I was feeling sore on October 6th. I got my period on October 21 and noted that I was really sore that month.
Something interesting also happened to me yesterday (day 12 of my cycle).
I had some spotting. I am currently at 2000mg of each herb. I don't normally spot mid cycle but I always spot for about a week before my period. So far no spotting today..but we'll see. What are your thoughts on all this?
I am thinking maybe I do need smaller dosages and maybe just wasn't patient enough last time....but after 4-month at 1500mg I should have experienced some growth right? Although I know that August wasn't the right time to start a program...maybe the same program different timing would have produced results.
Anyway, I will definitely do the stall test on day 22 and see what happens.
Thanks for all your help!
