I'm sorry, I never learned about any of the phases, so I have no idea what any of that means! =__= That's why I just make my programs as simple as possible, because I honestly have no idea what happens hormonally throughout the month! Sorry!
SugarQ Wrote:You seem to be a fountain of knowledge, I was wondering whether herbs in an NBE programme would create an abnormal result in a hormone test? I'm having one done by my doctor in the next few weeks as I am a long term sufferer of depression and anxiety as well as acne, and have just come off Dianette which I've been on for ~3 years (eek I know and I'm only 18). If so, how long will I have to stop taking pueraraia for it to leave my system so I can have an honest result at my hormone test?
Oh, no! 18 is way too young to be starting on herbs, especially something as strong as PM! Starting at such a young age, you risk damaging your hormones and actually stunting your growth! You need to stick with massage, hypnosis, or another method that doesn't involve herbs! I know it sucks being told that you shouldn't start NBE until you're 20, but we say it for your own good. Heck, I wish I had known about NBE at your age just so I could start massaging then, and so I could have started herbs at 20 rather than 21. Massage on its own can sometimes give women growth.
Talk to your doctor about your concerns and see what he has to say. I'm not exactly sure about Dianette or how it works, but your doctor should be able to discuss your concerns with you (although don't expect him to know anything about NBE). Also, ANY herbs WILL affect your hormones, therefore affecting your hormone test results. Hormone tests should be done before taking anything, even if you are the right age. 3 weeks should be long enough to get it out of your system, although I can't be sure. I won't suggest Milk Thistle to cleanse, as it is a weak phytoestrogen, so just stop taking PM, drink lots of cranberry juice (or try a cranberry pill if you don't like the taste), and everything should be close to normal for your test.
I read your program thread just before coming in here to respond, and I can say I do feel your pain. I was always made fun of for having small breasts (although at least you have more booty than I did!), and even though I would always make jokes about it, it still made me very self conscious. I always wished for bigger breasts, but they only got smaller as time went on. But you need to give your body time to grow on its own before you try to rush its growth, and let nature take its course before intervening.
Look into a Volufilline cream like I'm using to help expand the fat cells on your breasts, try consuming more protein every day, and massage, massage, massage! Once you start to get more fat on your chest, you can workout your pectoral muscles to help push the breasts forward more and make them slightly larger (although doing this before you have at least a 34A might make your chest look too masculine). If you're really concerned with it, ask your doctor about putting you on birth control (AFTER looking into it; there are pretty severe BC side effects no one tells you about!). With a hormone test, you will be able to see where your levels lie and what type of birth control you'll need to take to level everything out and help promote growth. When taking the right type of birth control, growth is very likely to happen! Good luck, and please be safe!
