OK i have been on DNE BO since 02/07/07. i first started with 2 500 mg 2Xs/day totaling 2000mg. then i uped it to 3 pills in the morning and 2 in the evening. i am now taking 3 in the morning and 3 at night along with 2 raw pituitary 80mg capsules. I've been doing that for about a week. I still have yet to feel any sensations and have not seen much growth at all if any. does anyone have any advice?

Hi.
I am taking BB not the generic brand. I have not experienced much in the way of tingles or soreness, however I have been growing. It does take time so be patient and everyone is different.
They say to check your temperature on BB and if too low you need to take L-Tyrosine. It is also recommended to take kelp, and a protein shake everyday to allow and aid in the new growth. I dare say that the same may be required for the generic brand.
Any thoughts anyone??

Temperature is important with BO, is your temperature in the 98.2 - 98.6 range? Are you getting enough protein?

Yes, check your temperatures and reduce carbohydrates - especially before bed.
Worked for me.

KittyCharlette,
Hey, gitl how is everything now? Have you had any sensations in the last couple of weeks? I'm feeling frustrated with the lack of tingles these days,as well, only I had em for a while and now they've stopped. GRGGGG!
Oh, well, it's been said that growth eventually happens without sensations, so maybe we'll fall into that category? Fingers crossed!
Just wanted to see how you were doing

(Login mama2fiveboys) I am growing again!!! April 10 2007, 3:57 PM
Well I am very happy to report that lately I have been feeling a lot of tenderness and almost a burning sensation sometimes, very much like when my milk came in when nursing my boys. I have never really had this before, even when I gained my 2 inches using BB last year.
I took about a 3 week break from BB and started again about a month ago using the correct directions this time! I have also been using Blossom's soap for about 4 weeks and St. Herb PM Cream for about 3 weeks, I have been feeling fuller and looking fuller and more round and then as I said the last 4 or 5 days I have been having pains and tenderness (nothing to do with my period) and yesterday my bra felt tight so I loosened. When I got home I decided to measure and I have gained a 1/4 of an inch! I know that is not earth shattering, but it does prove that what I am doing IS working! I am so excited. My growth had stalled using the BB as I was taking 3 a day and with a shake and not water. Now that I am taking them correctly and keeping my temp up and using the soap and cream it is really making a difference and I am so excited, I was starting to get discouraged . . . I am leaving for Orlando in 7 weeks and hope to have more growth to report by then!
Just wanted to share some encouragment with you all as I know this gets very frustrating and discouraging for many of us at times!

Melissa,
What do you mean 1/4 " not earth shattering.....it's terrific! Good on you! Hope things continue to swell and it's great to get good news for a mood booster all the way 'round! Must be very encouraging after experiencing a stall. Orlando or bust.....You'll do it!

Congratulations on your new growth! 1/4" is definately nothing to scoff about, 4 just like it equal an inch! Good for you! I know that your growth was slow on BB like mine....I would get frustrated (but happy for them) when others would grow an inch the first month, but persistance will pay off for us! Did you ever try the massager? -- Sissy

I never used to be a conformist! but I kept up with your massager thread and you guys convinced me to order one to check out, too! Not here yet, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go when it arrives.
Still going good for you, sissy?

Yep, I'm still lovin that little pink massager. I stopped using it every day to allow for some more fat to build up, so I use it every other day now. Once I get some more growth, I'll start everyday again. Just a theory of mine, I didn't want to build too much muscle and prevent fat, but once I get more growth I will want to build the muscle to support it. Sound silly I know, but that's what I'm doing. I can't wait to hear how you like it, did yours come from Hong Kong also? Mine took 3wks to get here -- Sissy

Not silly at all! How else do you fine tune something without having a theory, tweeking a routine, see what happens and tweek some more. Name of the game, isn't it?! Very happy to hear you're still quite enamoured with the pink contraption (and relieved, for selfish reasons too!).
Yes mine is coming from Hong Kong so I'm quite prepared for the fact it might take awhile. Might be pleasantly surprised too. I was expecting St.herb stuff to take a millenium to arrive (Thailand) and it showed in exactly 2 weeks (to Canada)! I try to forget I've ordered something so it'll feel like Christmas morning when it does show, But Not so good at fooling myself...way to clever for that!

Maybe you should try what I did, and skip a dose, and see if that makes you get tingles. I started with a high dose and I didn't really get much "action" until I ramped down.
Have you had any growth? I know some have grown without feeling anything.
Do you take Ibuprofen or other pain medication, or a migraine medication??? that could make you not feel the tingles. Even St. Johns Wort could mask it. A lot of times for me the sensation is an intermittent ache, or itchiness.
Keep us posted....

Myjourney's advise is the same as mine if you are still taking 2 DNE's 2x daily. Also, maybe start spreading it out like 1 3x daily. Experiment a little, if you are taking it with other suppliments, take it alone with water and don't take anything within 1/2 hr to 1 hour of the BO. If you are taking it with food, try taking it without, or vice versa.
I looked at your program page and you said you stopped the protein shakes. I know that some have grown without them, but for me, I get no pains on the days I don't drink it, and my diet has alot of lean protein in it already. It must be the whey. I'm also dieting, but if you make it with water, it's only an extra 110-120 calories, and for the price, the brand at walmart is pretty cheap, 15.99 - although this brand is not pure isolate, it works for me and it does not taste bad like others I've tried. A few days a week I still drink two shakes. One of the testimonials on BB's site was from a woman who didn't think she needed the shakes, and after 3 months started to use them and that is when she grew. Also, there are tesimonies where some just stuck with it and after a while grew, so I would not give up just yet. You didn't mention if your temp is in a good range, I assume that it is. Hope you start feeling something soon! -- Sissy

yes, my temp is fine. i also include kelp 1x per day. i was drinking protein shakes w/ water but still no tingles. i drink a slimfast in the morning which does contain protein. and no i have not experienced much growth, if any. in fact, when i began to massage (first with PM cream, then with cocoa butter w. vit. E bust firming cream) they shrank ALOT and are currently staying that way
all of my bras are too big now. i am wondering if my birthcontrol is effecting it. although, i know many women on this forum who are also on BC are getting results. *shrug*

I wish that I had some good advise for you but I don't. I know you must be frustrated. I also experienced shrinkage with CB & Vit-E massages, they shrank and felt like sponges so I stoppped it promptly after a week I think it was. I want to stay to stick it out, but maybe you are just one of those who wont respond to BO. Growth can be slow, but usually you will feel something happening by now. I didn't have measureable growth until about where you are right now in your program, but I did get fullness and heaviness by now.
Maybe try skipping a day, but take everything else you would normally take including the protein, then try to start with a lower dose like myjourney suggested? It's worth a try before giving up I think. Good luck.

Hi Kitty,
I too just want you and everyone to know that I am still taking bo as well with no tingles or results what so ever!! It has now been 3 months for me. I have tried several different ways of taking it...different dosages etc. I've taken LT and Kelp as well but nothing yet. It is very frustrating. I have tried several methods for 2 years now with no progress. I'm not giving up yet!

Hi everyone,I don't feel tingles too.I only felt it for one day,but then nothing.I also had few days when i felt my breasts are sore like before my period ,then i was experimenting and lowered the dose and that feeling went away too.but i can say i think i will grow because they swell.
Now about the problem u face and Myjourney,i think that u two should stop BO and take milk thistle for 10 days ,then start fresh,u might have chances to grow.maybe u just need a clean start..U have tried many things,so give it a try,u have nothing to loose..Just a thought..Good luck for u all.
