Haven't been having fantastic pumping sessions these days. Our mornings have been cold lately and with my poor circulation I just don't feel my breasts are responding well to the pumping. For some reason when I feel warm it just goes much better.
Also my kids have been SO NEEDY. Every time I sit down to pump I'm being interrupted because they need something. So I have to keep removing the pump (I don't walk around with it because the second I stand up my breasts turn purple).
& in about a week I won't be pumping for 2 weeks, because my mother-in-law is coming from London to stay with us. She will most likely be home with me a lot of the time. Hoping I still find some opportunities to do it though.

Some GOOD news:
I'm pretty sure I started my period today, which is great because I thought heck with it and began taking my PM this morning. Awesome coincidence. I say "pretty sure" because so far it's very light so it might just be more weird spotting.
Also, I'm thinking the tops of my breasts have definitely been getting some volume! I should have been measuring my over bust, cause I'm sure I've gained a bit!

Hey all,
It's been a while since my last update. My mother in law has been here since Saturday, so I haven't been pumping and won't be for another 2 weeks almost. Yikes. Not much time for massage either, unfortunately! And I've really been slacking on my supplements.
And can I just say how massively discouraging it is when your mother in law has bigger, firmer breasts than you lol. And she's had a reduction! Gosh.
At least when I measured today, I'm still at 34 inches! I also have taken the Siriporn PM for 12 days. And another thing is I really need to find something else to massage with - the coconut oil makes my chest break out in hundreds of pimples. NO THANKS.

Haha glad I'm not alone in that boat!! It's honestly so discouraging. Coupled with the fact that I haven't been able to give my breasts the care they need these days. I'm basically just like "WHERE are my boobs?!?"

Yeh mine are up and down as well! For the most part bigger but nothing like where I want them to be.i almost toyed with PM myself but after my dear friend Hannah saying it lowers red blood count I was like nope don't need that! I'm thinking of trying a real simple programme now that won't affect hormones

Hi Ella and Tinydear,
I'm gonna butt in because I also keep reading studies that state PM lowers red blood cells. That doesn't sound good...another reason why I think it's good to cycle phytoestrogens like PM. Do you ladies know what the possible adverse effects are from taking something that lowers red blood cell count? I read one could become anemic somewhere. Maybe you could take iron or eat extra spinach/lentils etc. to counteract.

Interesting. I’ll have to look into that! I probably should be taking iron anyway. I don’t get very much of it in my diet.

So, my mother-in-law has gone back to London!
I have my privacy again so this morning the first thing I did was I got a 1 hour pumping session in. It’s strange, but my breasts actually still looked like they grew over the course of 2 weeks even though I wasn’t pumping at all, only massaged maybe 4 or 5 times, and only took my supplements half the time she was here. Strange. Maybe it was the work of PM even though I was all done cycling it for the month? Anyway I’m still measuring at 34 inches so I haven’t lost any growth, so that’s good!
I’m out of evening primrose oil, so I’ve got to re-order that as well as a new oil for massage. I’m not touching coconut oil again. I should have known better - I used it on my face for about half a year a while back, looked in the mirror one day and ALL of my pores were clogged. I never had that issue before. Stopped using it and a year later my face is better! My chest has finally cleared up as well.

Oh my dayyysss.
I just compared a July 12th photo to today, October 10th. There is a MASSIVE difference. I mean I’m still completely dissatisfied with my breasts, like if they looked like this to begin with I’d still want to improve them. But, if it weren’t for my really ugly stomach to give it away, I’d think these are two totally different sets of boobs haha.
Strangely enough though I’m still in 30C and my left breast still isn’t filling the cup, but I suppose it’s getting there. Also measuring tape is still at 34”. But the pictures don’t lie.
Wish I was comfortable with posting pics. Maybe someday!
