Actually, I've eased off a bit now now. As of about 4 weeks ago I got some Ainterol cream to try because I kept reading about how the cream goes straight into the blood stream, rather than when it is digested and goes via the liver which removes a lot of the active components before they get a chance to do anything.
Sooo, to start with I had been worrying about stalling because the shooting/stabbing pains had stopped and most of the time I couldn't really feel anything much, so I went up and down on PM capsule dose: 2 a day, 4 a day, 6 a day, 1 a day, 4 a day, 2 a day...etc! trying to find the right level again.
For the last week or so I have settled on 1x 500mg PM morning and evening, plus rubbing in three spots of cream each side morning and evening ( the recommended dose on the packet), although I make the left spots slightly larger than the right, because I'm a bit smaller on the left than the right.
My logic on the dosing is that 1 x 500mg seems to be a maintenance dose for sfem, so call that a base level equivalent to natural production in GG. After I stopped a few months back and then started again, I found that 2 x 500mg per day was enough to start the tenderness again, so at that level my body is responding slightly.
So if the cream is absorbed more effectively, adding that on top should give maximum absorption and allow me to evaluate the effect. At the same time I've reduced the SP to 1 x450mg SP morning and evening, as well.
I've found that my boobs are firmer again now and I'm fairly sure they are slowly getting bigger ( and my wife agrees) and noticeably conical. Although they are very tender and a bit sore sometimes, I don't get any shooting pains now but I can't say I'm sorry about that, now that I'm sure I haven't stalled.
There are a couple of reasons why I've reduced the SP. Partly because I'm fairly sure that I was getting an allergic reaction, fairly similar to hayfever... sneezing a lot and stuffed up nose, particularly overnight. It took me a while to work out what was doing it, but I'm pretty sure it's SP.
The other thing is that both Chrissie and sfem managed to get their impressive growth without regular SP, I think both of them just took some now and again, and if it worked for both of them with basically just PM on its own, maybe I don't need it either.
