Hi Malena,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I would say don't get discouraged, I was a very slow responder initially and around week 9 or 10 I wasn't retaining anything much in the way of swelling by the evening. I was, at that point,starting to get frustrated with the whole thing, but I knew other ladies using brava were wearing them for much longer so I persevered. I can quite truthfully say week 17 marked a noticeable increase in swelling and they still remained quite full into the evening.
No, I didn't get a lot of morning swelling, at least not compared with some of the other ladies who were using brava at the same time. Obviously they looked nice and full, but I was not getting anything huge. I would say once again, that after week 17 the morning swelling was increasing.
No I don't suffer from hypothyroidism, but maybe that could contribute towards you being a slow starter like me.
I agree with you , it's often easier to meaure progress by bra states than tape measure. I really didn't bother to measure myself much as I knew I would probably get discouraged and you do need to keep optomistic using brava, otherwise the whole thing becomes so horribly frustrating. The best boost for me was starting to outgrow my old bra's around week 17 and having to buy new ones.
Maybe I was a slow responder because like you the last place for me to put on weight is my bust. It's also the first place I tend to lose it. But what I would say is that after the gains from Brava the weight on my bust stays put, even when I lose a few pounds.
Stay positive, sometimes we slow starters often get good results given a little more time.
