I've been doing a lot of reading on the NBE forums today. Alas, my head is spinning.
I'm currently wondering whether or not to replace my progesterone cream in my luteal phase with bloodroot... Anyone have any experience with bloodroot? I'm not even sure what it is.
I've decided not to try out WY because I don't like how it seems to counter-react with other herbs. Another herb I'm not a fan of is maca, I think it affects mood rather than growth and I don't want to take anything that affects my mood on top of my Citalopram. I also don't like it because it's a strong diuretic and that's a royal pain in the buttocks.
I'd like to take hops in the first half of my cycle but I'm worried that they'll make me need the loo all the time too. I am avoiding ALL supplements that make me need the loo a lot, this is an intrinsic part of my program. I'm basing my disinclination to take hops on the theory that when drinking ale, which I love, I need to go all the time, and ale's made from hops...
I'm still breaking from herbs at the moment, it's only been a few days and I've already come on. Looks like they were helping to regulate my cycle after all. I'm still not convinced that I'm ovulating due to my bcp. It's a POP and statistically half the people using it stop ovulating... Not a helpful statistic. I'm pretty sure I ovulated last month because I experienced good growth on the natural highs and lows of estrogen in my cycle. When my growth seems to occur at a consistant rate throughout then I assume I have not ovulated. The latter is the norm for me.
I'm very tempted to stop taking my bcp because I always achieve my best growth during cycles when ovulation has occurred. I'm very in tune with my hormone levels and I generally know when to take my supplements and how many to take, nevertheless it's much more difficult to judge during months when I don't ovulate. I just don't want to get pregnant which is the only reason I'm still taking my bcp.
I've gained a lot of weight since I started NBE and if anything my diet has only got better. I'm not sure why this is and I'd like to start a weight loss diet but I'm afraid of losing my boobs all over again. My tummy is turning into a monster. Flub flub flub. Don't get me wrong, I am a tummy lover! Probably the main reason I'm still with my boyfriend (he really is very round) but it's one thing being attracted to other peoples tummies, and a very different thing being proud of your own.
Speaking of my boyfriend, he accidentally called my breasts BIG the other day. I think he surprised even himself. He also commented that they were bouncing more than usual and he thinks they've grown... Funny that. He still doesn't seem to find them attractive though
but he gets more and more obsessed with my bottom everyday. It's a size POW apparently.
