Hi, I'll be doing 14 weeks in total then I have to go away for 4 days and can't take it with me. Once I get back I might be tempted to carry on but I think really I would like a break from it as I've been wearing it a LOT (12 hours minimum, an average of about 14 hours and even longer on the weekends.)
As for progress I have absolutely no idea, I started to retain swelling from day 3 so I just don't know what's growth and what'll disappear. (They were fairly stretchy from 5 years of pregnancy and breastfeeding.)
There has been an increase in size before I put it back on in the afternoon so I'm hoping that means something but that's been fairly similar the last few weeks as I've struggled to maintain good suction through the night. However, this last week I've swapped the domes around so I wear them on the wrong boob and find that this is much better. I think the gel was getting too worn under my arm and now I've swapped it's able to stay better fixed. Now my retained swelling is increasing again but this might also be because I've been managing longer wears recently. In short I'm not certain of any progress at all but am hopeful there will be something. I'll know soon though.
How are you doing? Can you tell if you're making progress?
