update: i have been noogling 3 times a day for past couple of days, but not for really long periods of time, like half an hr twice a day and 45 minutes during the night. i have been using olive oil not noogling as it gives a lot of moisturizing, however the downside of that is that i havent been massaging with my boobie batter for past few days, which sucks because i used to get all of my breast sensations when i put on the heating pad after massage. so havent been getting any sensations.
i think i noogled too hard yesterday afternoon, because my boobs turned a dark red/purplish colour. so i have to be careful about that. measured last night before noogling, i was at 32.5 and after noogling i was at 33. but i think part of it is due to hormonal changes in my cycle, because i usually swell midcycle.
I have resumed taking msm, since yesterday and i have also added maca to my routine now, although am only taking 500 mg right now, because it is adviced that you ramp up really slowly with maca to avoid negative effects
bought 2 push up bras yesterday, i know i said i would buy them once i actually become 33 inches, but i couldnt resist, i have been wanting them for a long time and they were on sale
one is 32A and another is 32B, i figured i can wear the 32A for now, and 32 B is for when i reach my goal.
did not have time to noogle in the morning but i measured myself, first time i measured it was at 32.1 and then i remeasured to confirm and it showed me 31.5, i really hope the first one was accurate lol. havent been taking my protein drink, i think i should start on that because the first month when i saw most improvement, i was taking a protein meal replacement drink everyday
So i havent been getting many sensations lately, and practically no sensations in the period after i take the pills. Measured today before any massage or noogling and i measured 31.2... remeasured and still was at 31.2. so am very very bummed out by that, because this is despite, noogling, massage and herbs and its also the week before the periods so this time should usually have some good swelling
used the cup rings yesterday and i got bruises from using the cup rings, they kinda look like a hickey... so i dont think the cups rings and i are going to go very well together.
Overall, not a very good booby day
Trying to cut down on caffeine, hopefully that will bring about a positive change. I noticed some bubbles on my chest like the ones mentioned by other noogling members and some red dots as well, so skipping noogling for a while until they disappear.
i havent updated for a few days so i thought i will do it now. Periods is about to arrive in a day or two, i can feel the cramps that come before it
i had stopped noogling for a few days because of those bubbles on my boobs, but i restarted a couple of days ago. Right now, before noogling i am at 31.9 and after noogling i am at 32.4. not getting much swelling these days, as soon as i remove the cups i can see them shrinking, i dont know it might be the cold as it is pretty cold in my room. also my LH boob starts taking on a bluish tinge even when i noogle at normal pressure, so am going very light on the LH boob for now. herbs are about to run out, so am trying to just them in the form of tea, as i have fenugreek and fennel in their original form in the kitchen.
AF arrived today, and with her came all the good stuff i.e. cramps, bloating and back aches. decided to give all the heavy dosage pills a break for AF's visit. have a few pills from the Natural curves remaining still, so am just gonna finish those in these 5 days. I am taking 2 pills twice a day with 1000 mg flaxseed oil pills. for the massage am using my regular boobie batter with fenugreek and fennel and for noogling am using olive oil. havent decided yet whether to continue my herbal teas for these 5 days.
interestingly i got my lowest amount of swelling today, i measured right after noogling and i was at 32.3, like the minute the cups were off my boobies. not sure if AF had something to do with that. this is my first AF visit since i got my NB, so lets see how things go.
Day 2
Lots of cramps and heavy bleeding this time. had quite a bit of booby sensations, like itchiness but when i noogled i didnt get much swelling, after noogling i was at 32.3 and before noogling i was at 32.
Meant to update last night, i started NB exactly a month back on 14th of oct. So i am going to post how much change i have seen on a monthly basis and then compare
underbust: 27.5
bust (across nipples): 32.1
after noogling i was at 32.5
got some tingling and itching for past couple of days, dont know if it was the pills or the boobie batter.
I am on day 5 of my cycle, hopefully i will see some growth in this cycle
day 6
did get a very small amount of sensation after massage. was unable to noogle in the morning since i was in a rush, missed the pills too.
i had ordered one large cup for NB since my left is filling up the medium now, and i put on the large after noogling a bit with the mediums, but i could not keep it on for more than 2 mins, because i was feeling MAJOR pain, and if i try to noogle any lighter it does not hold suction. So i definitely will need some padding. I dont want to order the cup rings though since they will cost a lot, plus i only need one large cup ring since i only have one large cup, so thinking abt what to do about that. until i find a solution i cant use the large cup
confused with the pills too because i was using up leftover natural curves pills, and i responded a bit to that i think judging by the tingles, so i dont know if i should go back to my herbal routine or stick to natural curves or what. arghhh, confusion, confusion......
right after noogling i was at 32.9, and an hour after noogling i was at 32.3.... not bad i think.
update: ok so i decided to be brave again today and noogle with the large cup on the left boob. after a while i did not feel the pain anymore. but the thing is i have to pump a lot to get any kind of suction going and it takes a while to get suction, but i feel this could be due to my small ribcage, as there is not enough space for a large and a medium cup. but once i finished noogling for an hour with the large, i just loved the way my left boob looked. just hoping i can maintain some of that swelling. was 32 before noogling and 33 right after noogling.
also confused on whether i should go ahead and buy another large cup for the right boob as well, because 1. it is kinda filling the mediums now, and 2. because i want it to look as awesome as the left one
but i dont know if i can fit 2 large cups on my ribcage as the website says its meant for 34 inches bandwidth or more, and i am 32 inches bandwidth
alsowanted to mention that i added hops to my routine, they r 300 or 310 mg capsules and i take them 2-3 times a day with other herbs. also today i tried using some wild yam from the capsule with my boobie batter for massage, not sure if thats what resulted in good swelling
