Its day 14 of my cycle.
My breasts have deflated
I noticed it the 7th day of my cycle. I measured on the 5th day of my cycle, and I was measuring at 34 1/4", but a couple of days ago, I measured again and I am measuring at 34", I lost 1/4". I actually thought it was more, that is how much my breasts looked so much smaller.
My right breast is smaller and rounder. My left breast is larger and sags more.....UGGGH!!!!!
I was trying to figure out what went wrong. I think its all my fault.
Even though, I don't get any red dots to indicate it, I think I may have been overpumping. I just pump until the pressure is tight, but I think I am using domes that are still somewhat large for me. I am currently using the CL domes, I do get swelling and suction, but it seems as though, I am pumping too much just to get them to stay on. I also admit, that I was getting carried away with my luteal phase. I wanted to take advantage of it and I think I would pump too hard and too much, thinking that I would get more growth. Although, I do think its great to pump during luteal phase, I know now to take it easier.
I have been reading tons of information over on the NB forums. I think I have come to conclusion that I need to go back to my M domes, even though they are somewhat cracked.
Someone also said that I can still get growth with the M domes, as long as my permanent size is not filling the cup (without any swelling or pumping), I should continue pumping with the M domes. The reason why I switched to CL domes is because I was swelling into the M domes completely and I thought that is when I am supposed to move up to the next size. WRONG!!! LOL! I need to fill them with my permanent size without any swelling or pumping before moving on the the next size. So I think I will pump with the M domes for now and see if I can get on the right track. I reach to the end of the cup within a few pumps, I fill it top and bottom, but I am definitley not that size permanently. I guess the plan for now, is to pump with the M domes until I completely fill them permanently. I will see if that gives me more fullness and lift.
I am even considering buying the L domes. As the CL domes, I think, will still be big for me, even if I fill the M domes. What do you guys think?
