I've used Brava in the past and did have success (kept almost a full cup size of permanent growth, was about 1 1-2 cups larger for 6 months or so after).
The first six weeks are the hardest. You need to be able to wear it and move around though, do you have the bra that holds it in place? If not get a large sports bra made from quality material (that will help hold the cups to your chest) and modify it. You may also find manual suction works better when you're awake, keeping the suction tighter makes it easier to wear while up and moving.
I started using Brava about a year after I stopped nursing my daughter, my boobs were so deflate from the nursing I really NEEDED it and that's probably the only reason I stuck with it. Brava is very time consuming. In all honesty you'll probably need to wear it 16-20 weeks. The 12 weeks they list is a minimum IMO and if I had quit at 12 weeks I don't think I would have had lasting results, I made it 18 weeks....but probably wouldn't do it again.
I would try to modify your program before you totally quit. Make sure you learn about manual suction if you don't already know how to use it that way. On the weekends if you can only get 7-8 hours, then just go for that, then as the winter months approach you may have days you can get 12+ hours. Just plan on using it over a longer period of time (this is just my opinion, but if your breasts have never been stretched out due to a big weight gain/loss or pregnancy and nursing you probably wont have results at 12 weeks, you'll need more like 18-20).
After a 10 pound weight loss this summer I found myself back needing to "pump up" the saggy girls again, this time I'm using the Noogleberry, no way can I devote 10-12 hours a day for 4 months to Brava again.
