Hello everyone! I'm brand new to these forums as a user, but have been lurking for over a year.
I have recently started a NBE program, keeping it simple at first. The difference with me is that I already have a pretty good size (f/g cup), but I am having issues with fullness. My breasts do not look that big-- they are long and sag a bit, but when they are scooped into a bra, they look fine. Still, I wish I could do a little less scooping and perhaps get more fullness.
I'm curious if/how things will work, considering where I'm starting from.
Currently, I take:
* 2 Fenugreek capsules (620mg each), three times a day
* 1-2 cups of fennel tea per day
* A one-a-day vitamin blend that has Red Raspberry Leaf
I do massages with Flaxseed Oil, sometimes mixed with Fenugreek powder. I use a heat pad to help circulation. Sometimes, I'll also have a cup of Mother's Milk Tea.
I'll also be using some suggestions. I like PetitMort's hypnosis and will listen to RockMelon when I have a chance.
I chose Fenugreek and fennel based on Dr. James Duke's Green Pharmacy text. He lists Fenugreek and Fennel as his top two ingredients for increasing breast size, and both are key ingredients in his "Bustea" formula, which I have not yet tried. I'm waiting to add one more thing… a flaxseed/Evening Primrose Oil supplement from Barlean's. This is on its way! I read a book by Judy Graham about Evening Primrose. I was intrigued by this statement from the author. "In the time I've been taking EPO, I have gone up from a 36B to a 38DD without putting on weight anywhere else." Sounds good to me!
I've been on the Fenugreek/Fennel/Massage since Monday. At first, I did not notice anything… maybe a little additional sensitivity. Today (Friday), I feel a *lot* of tingling, soreness, and heaviness. I'm not sure if this is a good sign or a bad sign. It could just be my period :-P.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
If all else fails, maybe you could just have someone do a lift on them, make the skin covering them tighter.
What's been working for me so far is being consistent with my massages and using flaxseed oil.
I took one spoon of fenugreek seeds everyday for 3 months and it made me gain weight in my abdominal area and no boob growth. NBE is a trial and error journey so don't get discouraged if something doesn't work. I'm also trying to enhance the shape alongside growing them, mine also sag a bit since they're much fuller from the bottom and sides. Hoping massaging will do the trick.
Welcome on board and keep us updated with what happens.
Flaxseed can cause weight gain. I'm trying to counter that with the fennel tea. It's like clockwork. I'll take the Fenugreek pills, then about an hour and a half later, I'm starving. I'll drink the fennel tea, and then I feel fine.
I'm also trying to do some crunches daily to try and keep my belly looking fine. I'm not big-- I'm about a size 10, so I'm not that small either-- but I don't want to gain weight either!
We'll see what happens. My herbalist friend recommended that I try a fennel/fenugreek blend when I run out of my current Fenugreek tablets since one causes hunger and one suppresses it. We'll see. I'm ok with trial and error!
Haha ya be careful, I work out 9 hours a week and quite petite yet fenugreek gave me a belly!! I was hungry all the time, I only took one spoon a day and it caused so much weight gain. Didn't try fennel tea so really hope it works for you. On the brightside, it regulated my period and helped a lot with my cramps.
Good luck

I wouldn't mind a little weight gain every now and then. Does the weight gain stop as soon as you stop taking fenugreek or does it continue to affect your metabolism?

I have been on fennel , fenugreek , hops , red clover , SP , maka . Algerine
I am pretty amazed that I saw anything at all, but I wanted to share my before and after measurements.
Before any BE/after 1 week:
Under bust- 35"/ 35"
Over nipple- 42.5"/43.5"
I also measured general fullness, bending over and wrapping the tape around the middle of my breasts when they were dangling down. This is probably completely unscientific, but here goes...
Middle measurement right: 14" around/15.5" around (!!!)
Middle measurement left: 13" around/ 14.5" around
Long story short… about an inch of growth, and a lot more fullness.
I am still a skeptic… this could be pre-period swelling, though I'm not due for a while yet. I plan to keep it up and see what sticks around.

Atleast 2 weeks after I stopped taking it, my appetite went back to normal and started to lose the weight I gained. I gain weight all around, not a specific area but that weight went straight to my abdominal area.

An inch is great growth so far! Even if it's just swelling enjoy it, it will just lead to growth soon. Take pictures, I find it so much better than measuring. Good luck
