Hi all
I wonder if anyone might be able to kindly answer a few questions I have about the noogleberry in regard to my own experience with it?
I've been using the NB for a few weeks and have just started to experience slight swelling. This goes away after about half an hour to an hour (occasionally after two hours). I've heard that after some weeks you can expect to get swelling that lasts up to 12 hours. I wonder whether the fact my swelling goes down so quickly, rather than lasts for several hours (e.g. 12), as other women are said to experience, is an indication that my breasts will not respond to the noogleberry? On the contrary, do you think, with continued and dedicated use, this swelling will gradually last for greater lengths of time? I plan to do 1 to 1.5 hrs of pump and release (repeatedly pumping up and releasing straight away) every afternoon, and half an hour to 1 hr of pump and hold every night (late).
Before I begin a pumping session my breasts barely fill half the domes. As I pump (doing pump and release - repeatedly pumping up as much as I can and then releasing straightaway) they gradually rise over time in the domes until my nipples eventually reach the tops. It originally took me around half an hour for my breasts to fill the domes (by fill I mean the nipples reaching the tops and the lower halves of my breasts filling out the lower halves of the domes). The time it takes me to achieve this has gradually become less - it's now taking me between 3 to 10 minutes. However, despite this increasing reduction in time, I'm experiencing no increase in the amount swelling I have after removing the domes. Do you think the continued reduction in time is an indication that my breasts are starting to respond more to the pumping and that I should eventually expect to see a greater amount of swelling after I remove the domes? The swelling I presently experience when removing the domes is very slight - more like a feeling of greater heaviness. Despite being able to pump until my breasts fill the domes, they return to a size that barely fills half of them after I release suction. However, during my pumping sessions my nipples are reaching the tops to the point where I'm unable to pump up any further because they are blocking the opening to the tubes and thus preventing further suction. I wonder for this reason whether I should perhaps order the next dome size up? Do noogleberry users usually increase their dome size when their breasts hold longterm swelling that is enough to fill the entire domes from the outset (i.e. before starting a pumping session), or just when they are able to temporarily fill a dome during a pumping session as is the case for me?
If any NB user might be able to answer my questions I'd be greatly appreciative and encouraged!
Thank you
