So good to see you around here! How are you doing?
Hi Sweets, I'm doing good, thanks for asking, I hope you and your family are doing well too. How goes things with you? any thoughts on your program or progress you want to discuss?.
Glad to know you are going good, yay!
Right now I am not doing NBE. This whole year I've been moving too much because family issues and work, so I have not been consistent. Plus, I had surgery four weeks ago and I stopped taking MSM, Zinc and Omega 3s just in case in June. I took a blood test in July cause surgery was in August.
Well, now turns out my blood tests for pre surgery came ...
weird? Looks like my Thyroid is giving me problems. My Endocrinologist told me to not worry too much cause it looks like subclinical hypothyroidism but just in case took another blood test to see if I have more surprises, like Hashimoto's
cause dumb thyroid issues runs in the family (Hashi, Hypothiroydism, Hiperthyroidism, each of my aunt has some of these conditions and my mom does have Hypo as well). I'll have the results in 10 days so fingers crossed.
In addition, I was wondering if Thyroid issues are correlated to hormones such as prolactin. So, I talked to TibetanPrincess this summer and looks like I won't grow if I don't have my prolactin levels under control. Damn! So I am willing to know what to do to lower prolactin.
I remember you told me increasing my own E will help, indeed I have been taking zinc and white peony for five months (though WP I think it was not with 10% or I was consuming too little) but my question is: only follicular since taking during the whole cycle might result in having Estrogen dominance?
Also, Lotus, are you still pursuing breast growth or are you okay with your size?
Take care queen! <3
All I can say is WOW, what a figure!!!
OMG you look great, L! also, are you wearing a corset?
Ughhh back surgery is tough, I know! These kind of surgeries have a slow post-op, but I hope your recovery goes well
Hang in there!
Yes,I'll share here my results!
Have a good week, dear Lotus <3
It looks amazing on you!
very lovely!
I am a bit biased using waist trainers, but it is awesome how it push the boobs to be honest XD
Pro's : it helped me with posture. Cons: My physio yelled at me
hahahah
Hi again Sweets,
I'll be posting new information on the potential role of how Follicular Fluid (during the menstrual cycle) can help aid with breast growth. Here's part of the information:
Follicular fluid contents of hyaluronic acid, follicle-stimulating hormone and steroids relative to the success of in vitro fertilization of human oocytes
E Suchanek et al. Fertil Steril. 1994 Aug.
Abstract
Objectives: To determine the concentrations of hyaluronic acid, FSH, P, and E2 in the follicular fluid (FF) obtained from IVF-ET patients and to assess the value of these measurements in predicting the outcome of fertilization.
Design: One hundred eleven samples were retrospectively analyzed for the hyaluronic acid and hormone contents.
Setting: University-based tertiary care center.
Patients: Preovulatory FF samples were collected from 67 women undergoing IVF-ET treatment because of tubal absence or obstruction.
Main outcome measures: The FF hyaluronic acid and hormone concentrations were compared according to the type of ovulation induction, follicular development, and IVF outcome.
Results: According to the type of ovulation induction, a significantly lower hyaluronic acid concentration was found in FF harvested from the patients treated with GnRH agonist-hMG. No significant correlation was found between FF hyaluronic acid and either morphological maturity of the oocyte-cumulus complex or fertilizability of oocytes. The level of FSH was significantly higher in FF, yielding a mature oocyte-cumulus complex and from which the oocyte obtained successfully fertilized and cleaved. A significant increase in the E2 concentration was found in FF in which mature cumuli oophori were present. The levels of hyaluronic acid significantly correlated with FSH in FF.
Conclusions: Expansion of the human oocyte-cumulus cell complex is an FSH-dependent phenomenon. The data are in agreement with the hypothesis that intrafollicular FSH plays an important role in the secretion of hyaluronic acid by granulosa cells and may act synergistically with E2 to enhance cytoplasmic maturation, resulting in successful fertilization.
Oh oh oh! Does it mean Hyaluronic acid could help with breast enlargement during follicular??

Hi sweets,
Yes, you could just make the argument hyaluronic acid is another name for follicular fluid. Specifically around day 14 of the follicular phase (or the start of ovulation) the Graafian Follicle ruptures and a release of hyaluronic fluid is released into systemic circulation stimulating E2 (estradiol), but its not enough.. and it's doesn't last long because it'll get inhibited by a negative feedback loop caused by the LH (Luteinizing Hormone) surge. Now in that likely event you'd counter with progesterone, or let your BCP do its job heading into luteal phase. The thing I see as a potential is boosting the day 14 synthesis of hyaluronic acid with something like forskolin to give Estradiol a needed boost if you know you have low E2 to begin with. There's a more complicated science version of the synthesis but you get the idea...hopefully. ?
I like the forskolin idea
