The calculator does it the same way the department stores do it, with the standard add 4 to even and 5 to odd and then every inch over that result in the bust is a cup size. It just makes you not have to do it is all.
I've played around with the measurments in it before by changing to weird half numbers and such and it always gave me the result it was suppose to, to a fault. all of the other country measurements in the calculator are going to go off of the us result and translate it, so if you say it gave you a bigger measurement in the US one, then it's also going to give you a bigger measurment in the other country ones also.
I checked out your current measurments on your program page to do it myself and then run them through the calculator to see what was wrong. As of 4 days ago you have 28.8 band and 33.7 bust. You round to the closest denomenator, so 29 and 34. 29 plus 5 gives you 34 no difference between it and the the bust would be an AA cup, I put the numbers in the calculator and that is also what it gave me. Since you have an in between numbers measurement, the 32 probably fits you better. bra sizes have sister sizes that you can wear as the cups are the same if you can't find the size you are wanting.
It would be something like this.
32A =34AA
32B=34A
32C=34B
32D=34C
I messed with your numbers a bit to get the same results your fiting did. They gave you a 28 band size instead of a 28.8 and then they gave you a 34 bust measurement. I figure they pulled the tape tighter around the band than you have, so it rounded down instead of up, which would give you another inch in difference between band and cup. When you use those measurements you get a 32B that is also what the calculator shows and in Japan it shows 70C
Anyway, I'm not sure why the calculator won't give you the same measurements it gave me, maybe it's the browser or something. I don't know.
Hope you figure it out, Good luck, Mel
I forget what I put in, but when it said 32B for US it also said 70 D randomly in Japan. Which is way too big for any 32B cup.
I don't know about calculators, I rather just go to the store and have some person measurement up by hand, and then try on the bras there.
Hi Mel,
How do you think the adrenal gland is working alongside of the BB?

I'm still trying to decide on that one. As you know our temperature changes throughout our cycle, meaning once we ovulate, it goes up. Before the adrenal supplement, mine still never hit the mark during that time period. I might see 98 if I was lucky, but usually, it was still in the 97 range. With the adrenal supplement the week before my period, I hit 98.9 once! I also noticed that my growing pains were stronger than they had been in awhile too.
BUT once my period hit and the typical temperature drop took place that is suppose to happen, mine dropped just below the mark of what is acceptable during that time period. I seemed stuck between 97.5 and 98.2 which is still better than it was before the raw adrenal. It's a work in proress figuring this stuff out, but I feel like I'm getting somewhere at least.
I also took one of my husbands raw thyroid pills yesterday which has thyroid, a small amount of adrenal and kelp in them. my temp then went up to 98.6. Now I just have to figure out if it was the thyroid or the extra kelp that did it, or if it would have done it on it's own if I hadn't. haha
Luckily I found a place where both are pretty cheap and they have free shipping if you spend 50 right now, so I pretty much got us both about half a years supply. The adrenal was 5.95 there and the thyroid was 10.97, but when you figure it up they come to the same because you take 2 adrenal pills, but you only take 1 thyroid pill. so the thyroid bottle last 2 months instead of one.
Do you ever feel it's a never ending buying of pills. :-/
Just a thought . . . . . if you always get a higher temp after you ovulate, and this is when you experience your growth spurt, maybe if you coud have those same high temps before ovulation, then you would have growth then too.
Maybe the reason for the growth just before your period is because that's when your temp is up. I wonder if you had the higher temp all month if you would have growth the whole month?
I'm probably wrong but it's a theory non the less
I have been wondering that myself these last couple of weeks. I guess I may just find out though, since I do seem to be getting my temp up into the right numbers about halfway through the day. I do know it's made a difference on my metabolism since it's gone up!
I'll post if i start having any growing pains throughout the month.
So, I've adjusted my noogling technique. I was doing mild pumping and sleeping for a couple of hours at night in them. the rings started refusing to leave again, so I switched to stronger suction and no longer than 30 minutes at a time. That change up has made them fade for now. In the mean time, I'm waiting for a prototype of the new rings for the noogle cups, which should be in the mail by tomorrow. I can't wait to give them a try.
I also went in today for laser treatment on my spider viens. OMG that was so freaking painful! I broke out in a sweat it was so painful! sigh, my legs look awesome again though, so in a few weeks when the memory fades of how much it hurt, I'll probably think it was worth it. LOL
I have two updates. The first is on my noogleberry. I finally at long last found a glue that works fantastic so far for gluing on the foam rings, for those of us in the US that can't get the glue that noogleberry recommended. It is by liquid nails and I bought it at Lowes. It's for foam and plastic as well as other projects and is a clear color so if you do it right, it looks really nice. I tested it out on my old Large cups with the old rings. I put a thick bead down on the ledge and then placed the cups in the rings. After that I put a large bead down on top of the where the cup ledge sits inside the ring and smoothed it out with my finger to not only seal it from the bottom but the top as well. It took 16 hours to completely cure and I have used them today and it didn't show any signs of letting go, and since it is rubbery it has a bit of give so it's less likely to tear away. I'll be posting a picture with this post as well, so that anyone that wants to try it, can make sure they get the right stuff.
The second update is on my temperature. As of yesterday, which was day 19 of my cycle, my temperature jumped back up to the 98.8 ranges again, which is due to my period being 11 days away and ovulating. I'm still taking the raw adrenal, but not the thyroid since I wanted to see what the adrenal by itself would do for my growth and my temp for a solid month. I'm still running on average 1 degree higher throughout the cycle. Instead of stayin in the 96 range, I haven't dropped below 97.5 and on most days see at least 98 by the end of the day. That has never happened before, so major progress. I'm extremely happy with it though since it brings me up high enough to see the higher temps during my growing cycle which can only be an improvement.
This months growth cycle will be starting this weekend which might make it a bit difficult to stay on top of my pills since we will be going on vacation to a friends house. I plan to go ahead and divide them up and count them out for the days we'll be gone so that I will just have to go grab them out of our bag and swallow. It's also going to make protein shakes a bit hard to do, so I'll probably bring some protein bars with me and see how those work out.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this month will get back on track since last month produced no measurable growth.

Crap, I'm having an allergic reaction to one of my new supplements. The last three days as soon as I take them, I get dizzy, a horrible headache, then sick to my stomach and then bloating that is sooo painful. I have only one option it seems. cold turkey from the supplements and gradually add them in one by one, until I figure out the culprit.
Anyway, we're taking off to Oklahoma for a short trip to visit a dear friend. I'll be taking my BB pills, my L-tyrosine and my protein shakes. That's it. Those are the three things I've taken the entire eight months that I never had these symptoms from. I haven't yet figured out a way to take my noogleberry with me, but I'm working on it.
I'm suspecting that it's one of three things. The collagen, the Raw Adrenal, or my new brand of B-complex, all of which are the only new things I added and the headaches started sometime shortly after and have gradually gotten worse and then ballooned into this this week.
I have plans to do a major cleanse shortly. I'll be taking some Banaba tea on the trip with the intent to only drink that during the trip to do a complete kidney cleanse. Depending on how my growth is this month, I will either do a liver/gallbladder cleanse before my period starts if no growth or wait until after if there is. I'm also having to adjust my cycles this month so that I won't be on my period for our mexico vacation in june. So once my period starts I'll start a quick fix of birth control pills and then stop them once I stop my period, so that it will force a second period and change my scedule. during the roughly two weeks that I will be doing this double period, I think I'm going to completely take a break from BB and take only milk thistle to finish up any cleaning out of the hormones from the liver that may be helpful.
Anyway, my growth period for this month will be starting Around Saturday. I'm hoping to see some good growth for this one and once we get back next Monday, I hope I have some good news to post!

things seem to be going a bit different this time. so far i don't have the noemal breast tenderness. instead i keep having sudden pinching jolts in different spots of the breast tissue that end as fast as they start. we'll see what comes of this. it's just day 24 so i should have several more days of growth
