My story is long and complicated. I am going to try to make it as simple as possible so you guys can help me out!

At 17 I became an anorexic, and had not fully developed yet. Pretty much messed up my entire body, and worst period of my life that I deeply regret. Now fully recovered, my doc prescribed the birth control pill to regain my lost period of 4 YEARS!!!!!! Got the period, but had chest pain, severe varicose veins etc. Stopped it right away, and hormones are still imbalanced. I had bloodwork done last week, and waiting on the results to see at what level are my hormones.

Anyways, now I am 22. since then my breast is still an A cup, not round or firm, and I am very disappointed and upset. The females in my family or a B or above. I am afraid to take the synthetic hormones because of their side effects, but instead I am trying natural herbs slowly and closely monitoring their effect on my body.

Two questions:
1) If I balance my hormones, will my breast pick up its development from where it left of since anorexia?

2) What can I do to increase their size now? I have heard about breast pumps, fenugreek, BO, massaging, but I am so confused of which one works best?

I need a safe and effective approach to this. I did some major damage during puberty and hopefully I can revert some of it. Thank you!!!

I am by far no expert in NBE. I am a newbie as well. But if you take the time to read around the forum....it seems that some things work for some, and not for others, and vice versa. It's mostly just a trial and error of what will work for you and your body. If you are trying to go the natural herbal way, Eve has a program page that is very informative. http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=5599

If you take the time to read it from beginning to end, you will get many answers to the questions you might have about her program. Also, Cheryl1989 is a great source of information, and has a forum as well. It's very informative. A little difficult to navigate, as with any other forum I would assume. But she tells in detail about a great many things, which you won't find here. I think you should take a look.

I would suggest, if you haven't already, talking to a naturopath or herbalist about your concerns. It could be (and I have no experience in this area) that getting your hormones regulated will take care of everything else (including your concerns with breast size) but it sounds to me like you will want to make sure you are healthy before you attempt NBE.

Some herbs worth looking into (I was hormonally-imbalanced after an awful experience with the Mirena birth control last year):
agnus castus
wild yam
Dong quai

I also found an excellent blend called "Female Hormone Blend" (from Solaray) really made me feel great after the (progesterone-based) Mirena destroyed my body.

Be gentle to yourself!
