Day 835
I hit tewentyseven and half months today. It appears that the growth spurt I had (have?) going has slowed down somewhat. Measurements show 1-1,5cm increase on bust measurements, band has stayed the same. I think that I have grown lately, clothes fit a bit different and I think I look different in pictures? Especially clothed ones? Help me out because I'm so blind to myself.
I've been on slightly higher E dose lately which might be the reason why I have slowed down, I may try to go back to my usual tried and tested dose of 0,08ml/3,2mg twice a week along with the patch, but I have had obvious feeling of E being too low many times lately, likely due to higher prolactin. I reached a new record with lactation few days ago but somehow dried up once again since, I'm getting a bit impatient as its going back and forth despite my best efforts and its a lot... The only thing that has taken a hit is pumping, due to those connector pieces breaking I have been forced using the shitty cheap cups which are obviously not as good even with the good pump. I'm getting replacement parts today so getting right back at it very soon.
I'm also trying out shuffling dosages with the herbs I'm on to see what happens. No one has told me or given any advice how much I'm supposed to take so its all trial and error now. I'm now at three capsules a day on goat's rue, shatavari and moringa, others unchanged.
So the course of action is to drop back to my normal estrogen dosage, it seems obvious that my golden middle is right where I've been most of the last two years and more isn't helping with body changes, only smoothes out my mood swings. I'm planning to pump as much as I have time for as it obviously works and more time put into it is giving better results. I will keep experimenting with the herbs for now, my plan is to keep at it for a month or two and then evaluate the whole thing, if it works, awesome, if it doesn't, I will consider trying domperidone.
Here's some pics I took. Oh and I got the red hair again. ^_^

EDIT:
I was digging into my diary trying to troubleshoot why my growth has slowed down during last few weeks. The most obvious answer is likely bit too high estrogen. I haven't stalled, but slowed compared to the growth spurt I had before. So I went digging and see what correlates with each time I've had a growth spurt happen and I found few things.
1. EV dose at 0,08ml/3,2mg biweekly.
2. 50 mcg EV patch biweekly changed between injection days.
3. Almost every time I go on highest GABA dose of 2250mg per day, growth spurt happens.
4. High prolactin makes me grow faster, when ever I lactate, especially when its starting.
5. When ever bovine ovary dosage goes near or exceeds 1000mg per day.
6. High dose of ginseng has direct correlation to growth. (With D3 it boosts aromatase, activates hormonal pathways.)
7. Estradiol on moderately high levels, around 300-350 pg/ml but not much higher.
8. DHEA + PG + E2 topicals highly beneficial.
9. 10000iu of vitamin A appears to correlate with the last two months development.
Obviously I can't say exactly which part of the program does how much, but the above list appears to have direct correlation with good growth each time I've done one or more of this. The last few +2 months have been the most amazing development I've ever had so far and I have a feeling that the whole thing is in the combination of things, especially bovine ovary and the topicals and elevated prolactin. Latter I think is likely a genetic trait that some of us have and others don't. I seem to always develop a lot of breast fat when ever my prolactin shoots high enough. Lately there's been a lot of fullness and maturity happening and that I think is work of the topical program. I've never had this kind of projection before which seems to keep on getting better and this I'm sure is what bovine ovary does the most. Interestingly, the slow phase during early spring came to an end along with boosting BO dosage and upping L-tyrosine to 1000mg which I'm still doing. I strongly advocate for what ever can boost HGH and IGF-1 as those things are so obviously beneficial, if I had energy to exercise more, I'm sure I could get even more benefit from growth hormone boost.
