Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, but I have browsed this site for a few months. I have to thank everyone who posted about different routines because it helped me figure out what might work for me.
First my stats:
I am in my mid-20s, never been pregnant.
5'9" and 135lbs
When I began my measurements were 31 underbust and 33.5 across the fullest. This might not even be AA? I only wore padded bras because no unpadded bras fit me. I began my program in mid-June and now my measurements are 31 underbust and 35 across the fullest part of my breast.
I can wear an unpadded 34A bra now. However it is a Victoria's Secret bra and I heard they are a bit vanity sized. So I might just be a 34AA? (side note: why are bra sizes so annoying?! I would think if my actual measurements underbust were 31" I would wear a 32 band bra but no that would make too much sense
)
Anyway, I have been taking the following combination for 3.5 months:
fenugreek (610mgx5 per day),
fennel (450mgx2 per day), and
collagen type i&iii (6g per day) that contains vitamin c.
I am vegan so I consume a fair amount of soy protein every day.
I do a chi rotation massage 1-2 times per day (I used to do 2x daily but now I admit I have missed a massage quite often lately).
I would also like to note that I began doing kundalini yoga for around an hour every day when I began this program (instead of my normal running for one hour daily), and noticed that I lost 2 inches off my hips (they are now 36). This was very surprising to me because I have been a long distance runner for years and also did another type of yoga previously without ever losing inches off my hips.
Menstrual side effects: I used to have TERRIBLE breast soreness lasting up to 7 days before my period began. It was a struggle to put a bra on without groaning in pain. So far the past two months I have had almost NO pain at all except when doing my massages. I believe that might be due to the fennel? My menstrual cramps have also lessened a LOT and I am so happy about that as well.
Okay this post was really long - sorry! I just wanted to be thorough. I would post photos but I am a bit concerned about some identifying marks on my breasts. I don't think anyone I know uses this site but you never know! So I have attached a photo of me wearing a 34A bra (Victoria's secret unpadded/nonpush up bra - I think it is one of the Body by Victoria lined demis).
I would love to hear from anyone who has any thoughts on my progress? Should I be hopeful that I will continue to have growth? From what I read on the forum I am committed to keeping this up for around 7-8 months. I would love to be a 34B instead of 34A.
