Hi everyone! I'm keeping a daily diary of my NBE journey here.
I'm new to this forum and introduced myself in this thread: https://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=30862
And here are some of the introductory notes I shared in that thread, for ease of reference:
I'm 33, 5'7", 120 lbs, and a 34A and my first goal is symmetry (my left is a full A and my right is AA). This is my 3rd attempt at NBE, though I didn't know it was called NBE until a few days ago.
I took Greenbush Natural's tinctures for about a year about 5 years ago and had no results, and then 2 years ago was on several brands of pueraria mirifica capsules for about a year with no results. I also donated my eggs 6 times about 5 years ago and got an IUD - I was overworked, underweight and my hormones were all over the place so I'm not surprised nothing happened. I live a much more leisurely lifestyle now, have no IUD, and a very regular cycle so it feels like a good time to try again.
I haven't taken a hormone test but based on my research, Fertility Awareness Method tracking and a couple hormone quizzes I suspect I have slightly low estrogen and testosterone, and slightly high androgens. I plan to take a hormone test as soon as I can find one (here in rural Indonesia).
My plan is daily breast massage, Miss Mad Scientist's flax + soy regimen, mint tea, and start with Source Naturals Raw Female bovine ovary in a few weeks when I get to day 1 of my cycle.
Day 1: Massage
Day 2: Massage
Day 3: Flax + soy + milk, peppermint tea, massage
I actually combined the flax and soy in one container. Knowing myself I need to keep my routines as simple as possible to help me stay consistent. My plan for now is to do everything as close as possible to bedtime to maximize the night time HGH and healing.
Followed my shake with massage. I'm still focusing most of the massage on the right boob since it's smaller and has lumps. It's a lot less tender today and softer overall which is encouraging.
Question - I've seen people reporting great results with 1000 mg of BO - the Raw Female is only 480 mg (of 'synergistic blend' that includes damiana, so even less actual BO). Has anyone tried taking 2+ Raw Female capsules a day, and if so what were your experiences? I understand the average daily recommendation is 8-20 mg of zinc, and 1 capsule contains 30 mg of zinc, so I don't want to do too much.
If the zinc seems to be an issue I'm considering BB. I'm going to email them to find out about their packaging - hopefully it's discreet so it doesn't attract attention going through Customs. I've had packages confiscated before lol and Indonesia is notoriously conservative so I'm hesitant.
Cheers!
