Aw man... =( I'm sorry to hear that! Those aren't fun at all and they spread really fast when we had it too and my poor little one was only about 2 1/2 and couldn't control it so ya, we all spent the whole day in the bathroom and me mopping up the floors... blehh...
Yep! Gains are good =D, but just a suggestion, if you can't noogle some days, why don't you try massaging as well? I don't noogle but massaging has helped me a lot =D Good luck and hope you all get well soon!
Yup, I've taken it easy on the noogling, but have been massaging since it's more discreet. Noticing that I've retained some of my growth even through my bout of flu. Yay!
Quick update
My left boob is taking to NBE like mad, which is good. The small boob is also making gains, though I think I'm
really gonna have to focus on the right one otherwise I might get lopsided. It's interesting that I've gotten to this point and maintained despite not noogling or massaging as diligently as I would normally (second day of nasty stomach bug). Actually both boobs are aching atm, but maybe I'm hallucinating from dehydration.
As of Aug 19 (wearing my controlled experiment bra)

That's awesome! You're gonna bulge out of those now! Maybe you can give x2 attention to the smaller one? I have the same problem, my right side you can tell is a bit smaller, especially when I start cupping my breast and massage, my left one is significantly bigger than my right... so I try to give the right side more attention. Although I always seem to go for the left one more maybe cuz I know it's growing! Or maybe I should ignore the left side? Lol =P But good job! You're showing progress! Maybe we need to leave the girls alone for a bit and they'll grow...! I haven't left mine alone yet, I'm so scared they'll deflate... anyways... but make sure you stay hydrated since you have the stomach bug, Gatorade and stuff
jello and icy pops!
Yes, I'll double up the attention on the right boob. I was thinking about what else I did differently this past week, and I remembered that the night before my left boob swelled I had soy milk. And from what I've read, soy milk helps with NBE. Thought it was worth mentioning.
Another update, wearing a 28D bra today. Have to say that I am filling out the cups way better than last month. I'm healthy enough to keep down my NBE herbs again so I've started taking those again (it's not worth ingesting the pills when u are going to puke them up - would be a waste). As a result my breasts are feeling tender and heavy. Have been focusing on right breast with massage and noogling. Swelling in left boob is still maintained - yay!
That's awesome! You're doing great.
That's great!! Glad to hear you're feeling better. Btw. What size bra is the red one you were wearing on the last pic? I might need to find me some sister sizes. I normally have a 34A but when I do the whole swoop and scooping the breast tissue, the cups are a little bit too small now. When one boob can fit a whole cup the other cup slides more to that side I'm fixing. Maybe my boobs are just far apart? I'm flat chested yes but it just seems like my breast tissue spread to my armpits and at the top and sides of my boob and just has that deflated look, especially my areola after breast feeding. ;P I hit week 4 so ill do 2 pm daily now. Lets see if makes any difference... I haven't had that heavy sore feeling yet and its already been a month. But I do see growth so i guess looking for growing pains shouldn't matter for me? Not sure, oh wells. Keep up the growth!!! ;D you're doing awesome!
Kuanyan.. what is your under bust measurement? Chances are your band size is too big and that is why you have tissue migration. Your band size should ideally be the same or just a size bigger than your under bust measurement.
Hey ruch, I have yet to find a good bra calculator, and I honestly don't know my correct bra size but I think you're right. This has always been the bra size I have been wearing when I was in high school, and I just got a general idea of what size I thought I was when I was pregnant, then breast feeding and just bought a bra without being measured. Then after I was done breastfeeding, my breast went back down and just kept wearing same size, 34a
I measured myself again correctly, under bust 28.5in, on bust 31.5in, over bust 32in
