Hi there.I decided to join and well...*sigh*
I am 19, just starting faculty in a month and guess what?So many weird reactions from everyone new I met because everyone thought I was a child...And my family is blaming me I lost weight and keep telling me to look my self in mirror but I was an A cup even before I lost weight, I actually decided to lose weight because i was storing fat in weird places like stomach, thighs, lovehandles and lower and upper back.
I did it by switching to healthier eating, I quit all junk food, sodas I used to eat at school every day.
So, I had 155 lbs a little less than a year ago, now I have 119lbs and I am 5'7" tall.
I first started with Lchf without calorie restriction diet but it only lasted max 2 months.Lost 6kg and then I switched to semi-Paleo and now I just eat healthy,gluten free,refined sugar free,under 200 carbs a day for sure, 1500-2000 calories a day,avoiding dairy because it gives me acne, keratosis pilaris and constipation.I also strictly avoid foods with high glycemic index and only grains I eat are oats.I used to eat a lot of soy and flaxseed on the semi-paleo lol.I quit soy few days ago as it seems was a cause of sore breasts for like 6 months.It also messed with my period.I quit coffee 2 months ago as I was drinking it since puberty.I switched to teas.
I got my first period with 14, second 6 months after and then every 2 months until last 2 years where it was regular monthly, only last period was 3 months late.
No woman in my entire family or even my entire country is small chested, I feel like a freak sometimes...But no one in my family has an ectomorph upperbody like me.My lower body is mesomorph, so I have a big problem here.But when I gain weight I also lose my waist so I am not really a pear.I have wide shoulders but long arms and small wrists.
I should also mention that I tested my hormones last month but I was eating soy occasionaly then so not sure if they will be of any use.Will post later with date of test and date my period started if it maters.I personaly think my progesterone is low and I wish my testosterone was lower.
I don't think i have access to any products here except many natural ones like teas and oils.
Please if anyone has any suggestions or a similar body shape to start with, tell me your secret. :-P

My breasts did grew over years but like milimeter per year probably. -_- I was completely flat when I got my period, they started budding late.
My aerolas are puffy like in underdeveloped breasts but the breasts are round.
May be weird but they look a little bigger after weight loss lol.
Anyways, hormones:

07/21/2014.
FSH - 5,1 IU/L
LH - 12,6 IU/L
Beta Estradiol - 212 pmol/L
Progesterone - 8,2 nmol/L
Prolactin - 140 mIU/ml ( the m is a letter I can't find on my keyboard lol)
Testosterone - 1,5 nmol/L
Cortisol - 276 nmol/L

I am confused about this beta estradiol, is it just a part of overall estrogen?
My period started 6 days after this test.

[Lunice]

Not sure if it matters but until my 18 I was a completely different person, I never wanted to become a woman, I couldn't even imagine myself in a dress and makeup and I never wanted to have a boyfriend like I do now, you know what I mean.I litetally changed overnight I now I am in this crisis. ={

Oh, and for some reason I have low blood pressure, not so best circulation and my breasts are always cold... o.o

Lol, i try to remember as much info I can.

Edit - I am might not even an full A cup, what's wrong with me?I seriously sometimes cry, everywhere I go I get weird reactions and comments, I'll never look like a young woman.Even my 11 years old sister started to develop, she has a different body figure too.I don't get it, every woman In my family wears Fs, even my grandgrandma did.And no one has small wrists like a do, ectomorph uppetbody?

Please, anyone direct me me?
I'll start massaging daily and someone please suggest me should I try to increase progesterone or estrogen and what natural things should I use?I currently only have flaxseed and turmeric in our kitchen lol.

[Lunice]

I also can get walnut leaves too.
Or is it better to increase production of hormones rather than replacing them?
I heard 750mg of vitamin C can increase production of progesterone by at least 70%?
I feel like replacing hormones doesn't give permanent results as you have to take them forever.

Hi and welcome,

do you have the reference values (range) from the lab?
It seems that you are low in progesterone.

I do not believe that 750mg of vit C can increase production of progesterone by at least 70% because I take 3000mg of vit C and I am still low at progesterone.

I am 5'7" too and I weigh around 125 pounds (+/-2 pounds).
Oh and I also never wanted to become a woman when I was a teenager.

What are your measurements like bust, underbust etc?

Hi Lunice, welcome to the club.... There are many Bio women here that should be able to steer you in the right direction.... But being you are from another planet...... J/K LOL (seen your profile page )

[Lunice]

Yay, replies! Yeah, according to internet I am very low at progesterone...
Awww, too bad, scientists can really suck sometimes. :-(
Thank you!
I'll have to find the tape and measure today, but not sure what method would work because my ribcage is not perfectly straight like in most women, I almost look hourglass even with flat chest lol. xD

I feel so much better I joined here, I really need motivation and someone I can talk about this.I can't even talk to my mum about this, I mentioned her once how all my friends look so grown up now except me, I looked the same trought all 4 years of highschool.:'( She told me I should be glad that I look proportional and stuff like that.

By the way, my English is not perfect.

Thank you both so so much for replies!

Haha, lol.I didn't want anyone to recognise me hahaha.I am in Europe, somewhere on Balkan. :-P

[Lunice]

Does estrogen resistance exist?
It would explain so much...I wish it was easy to first drop estrogen and then rise it, cells would be so much more sensitive to it.

I also have to mention that when I eat dairy or like half a chocolate I get acne on my chest,back and face and I sweat a lot.Maybe it rises my testosterone?Only dairy I can eat are butter and cheeses like gouda. :-\
I always had acne on my chest and back before changing to healthy eating.Who know how high my testosterone was, I am hairy like a bear lol.No facial hair except a little above my lip which is normal, right?
Wish I could correct whatever is wrong as I am still young.
By the way, do herbs give a permanent growth or?My breasts were tender and maybe a liiiitle biger while I was eating soy.
Also I am eating tahini and flaxseed every so often but nothing, I heard not all phytoestrogens are same, maybe I have to find the right one.
Or maybe I just need to decrease testosterone and raise progesterone.
Also, I am not a person who likes to go out on a hot summer day, yeah the sun is killing me.But people say I have to catch some sun too.But nothing else is wrong with me, I grew quite fast.
I know weight gain will do nothing so I really need some tissue growth.

From the height/weight you stated, you're underweight which can impact breast growth. Although BMI isn't the best indicator of health, in your case this might be the problem. I read on this site ages ago that for best breast growth your BMI should be at least 20 (if I can find the link I'll post it for you.)

Has your doctor send there was anything wrong with your hormones? Irregular periods are a major indicator. To help with blood pressure (and circulation) try exercising to get the blood pumping

[Lunice]

I actually have some fat, bellow belly buton,small lovehandles and stronger thighs.I already mentioned that even when I was a little overweight I was still flat chested and that was only 10 months ago.
Nope, my doctor is on holidays so I am stuck with hormones results I don't understand lol.
Last period was 3 months late but the previous , that's for the last two-three years, were regular.
Wow, nice progress you have, we are same age.
Thanks. :-)

Btw, when should I use progesterone and when estrogen rising herbs?
I am thinking to buy fenugreek and use turmeric I have with a little pepper for better absorbation.I also drink green tea daily since few months ago.I tried drinking mint tea too, can't find spearmint anywhere. :'(

Edit - OMG, Taelia?I quit Neopets a year ago and that's when I mentally changed. xD
