So this discussion makes me wonder if I'm faced with a choice between muscle development and breast development?

Kinda are... sadly.

Generally speaking, more muscular women tend to have smaller breasts. They are also perkier. But... smaller...

There are of course, as with anything, outliers... But I really wouldn't count on being one of them.

However! Here's the thing! IFFFF you can afford it... Something like the CS + PM plan I outlined would allow you to continue to resistance train, making no other real changes to your diet or exercise et al. And you should still grow.

Best of both worlds, and you aren't just praying to the booby goddess and muscle god to let you serve both. You're more just going. Heeeeeey waaaasssup! I'm gunna be serving you this way giiiirl. And Dude. I'm totally going to rock you too! Don't bother fighting over me. Plenty to go around.

Being that you don't sound to have a really major testosterone excess for some reason... Maybe it's more localized? Dunno. This brings us to the other possibility....... What specific birth control are you taking? Is it direct hormones? Progesterone? Estradiol? Combo? What amounts? Shot? Pills? IUD? Hormone disruptor kind? There's all sorts of ways BC can interact and cause booby problems.

Your problem could also be emotional/mental. Did you at some point in your early development have any kind of negative experience in regards to big breasts? Something that may have caused you to associate big breasts with, say, maybe breast cancer? A big indication of this would be that MOOOOST women in your family history were significantly bigger breasted than you are.

It could also be simple heredity... You might just be one of those girls who've already got all the boob they'll ever get. It does happen... But let's rule out anything else before giving up, nay?

Hm... so... you were originally thinking fenugreek and wild yam... a phytoestrogen and an adaptogen...

Have you ever taken a hormone balance quiz or had them actually checked by a lab? That could be interesting information to know... since at least physically speaking, at least from a cursory perspective, T does not presently seem to be the problem.

Here's a link to a popular quiz: http://www.johnleemd.com/store/resource_hormonetest.html

If you have insurance, it might cover hormone testing as "preventive" care, you can ask your doctor about it. Just be all... concerned young woman, just want to make sure... Never too young really, ESPECIALLY if on ANY kind of birth control. ALL BC EFFECTS HORMONAL BALANCE! PERIOD!

If you don't have insurance... and live in the USA... you could try having your hormones tested by these guys, not the absolute cheapest I've seen, but the best quality for dollar: http://zionpharmacy.com/hormone-saliva-testing/

If you don't live in the USA you'll just have to google search for something closer to home... It could be quite expensive if you have to go through the more typical channels...

Anyway... if you don't want to bother with any of that, fenugreek + wild yam is a pretty proven program for many many people. You can always try it anyways. If it doesn't work... Cleanse and try one of the ideas I've tossed up there. Give it at least a good few months of an honest attempt though! If my ideas don't work... well... we're back to my questions. LOL.

To be quite honest... I'm one of those who believe in research and direct implementation of a well-tailored plan rather than experimentation... In case this hasn't been made quite thoroughly obvious yet lol.
