Thanks for all the really helpful info! I’ve been doing a lot of research, and am hoping you could recommend any modifications to the basic Option 1 program based on my information. 

Stats:

• Cis female
  
• Age 26
  
• 5’6”, 130lb
  
• 31” underbust, 35” bust - this measurement is deceptive, though, I have a wide and V shaped rib cage, so a good part of the measurement difference is ribcage, not breast tissue. I wear a 34B bra but don’t fill it out. 
  
• 26” waist, 37” hips. 
  
• Have a hormonal IUD (Kyleena) for birth control. I still ovulate (I can tell, my libido changes and I get alternating side pain on the day my period tracker says I should be ovulating). 
  

What I dislike about my current boobs / my goals: They’re spaced far apart and they look “deflated” on top, as well as kind of pointy / triangular rather than round. They point more out/sideways than forward. I used to weigh ~150-155lb, and my breasts were still small for my frame then and I didn’t like them, but they were more “full”/not deflated feeling - I think the weight loss might have contributed. Ideally I would love to fill out a C cup and have rounder breasts / able to create cleavage, but to be honest I’d accept just filling out my 34B bra and having them be a prettier/fuller shape. 

Things about my body/hormones: 

• I gain muscle pretty easily - I have a pretty nice butt naturally and can get it to noticeable / “I get compliments on it” levels by lifting weights. I would not like to lose that - if getting breasts requires losing that, I’ll stick with the breasts I have. 
  
• I get noticeable breast swelling in the week before my period / they get fuller on the top (not to the level of filling out my bra, but enough that me / my partner can feel it) - based on this hormone cycle chart (https://images.ctfassets.net/juauvlea4rbf/5kxMmXyA8Mw8amOc2sEs62/d08a150839ba152df919343aa0879f1f/EN_Inside_art_4.png?w=2400&h=1390&q=50&fm=png), it makes me think that maybe progesterone would help?
  
• My cycle is 32 days long, my period is typically light but long (lasts ~6-7 days). 
  
• I've historically had issues with acne - had terrible acne from age ~13-20, went on Accutane which mostly solved it - now I get the occasional pimple near my period, but not much other than that. Skin is still not great though, and I'm pretty scared of accidentally bringing it back.
  

The last time I had a hormone panel done would have been on day 14 of that cycle, and these are the levels (I don’t have progesterone, this was a hormone panel for unrelated medical reasons so it’s just the things the doctor ordered) 

• Prolactin: 18.5ng/mL (normal: 3.3 - 26.7) - normal 
  
• Estradiol: 60pg/mL (normal 21-251 follicular, 38-649 midcycle, 21-312 luteal) - low end 
  
• FSH: 5.31 mlU/mL (normal 3.03-8.08 mid follicular, 2.55 - 16.69 mid cycle peak, 1.38 - 5.47 mid luteal, 26.7-133.4 post-menopause) - normal
  
• TSH: 1.605 ulUML (normal 0.35 - 4.94 ulU/mL) - normal
  
• IGF-1: 340 ng/ML (normal 101-347 ng/ML) - high end 
  
• HCT: 37.8% (normal 3.60-45.0%) - low end
  

I’ve been doing massage with flaxseed oil and Volufiline, and I’m noticing some swelling/feeling heavier, but hard to tell yet if that’s just my regular cycle (I’m due for my period in a week) or an actual change.

I got the herbs that you recommended for “basic”/option 1 here  - shatavari, saw palmetto, vitex, flax (https://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=23076&pid=201399#pid201399) plus MSM, but haven’t started them yet - I’m a little afraid of weight gain and also of messing up my cycle, since it only finally got regular on the IUD. I’m interested in whether there’s any modifications you’d recommend based on my hormone panel / other info.
