Could you post the link to the current brand of PM you are using? I'm pretty certain that if herbs don't work well for me, I'll try PM next. Also, is there any particular reason why you stopped using st. herb's PM?
last month, i was taking these 2 PM brands, one brand in the AM and the other in the PM

the reason why i stopped taking St herb last month was because i've been taking it for so long. i was curious to see what would happen if i switch things up a little. this month, i'm back on st herb. even though i did get improvement last month, i was also breaking out a little, and my period was different than usual.
plus my improvement last month could just be the natural progression of using brava.
week 16 of brava :
i am more relaxed about wearing brava now - not stressing out about getting in the 12hrs minimum each day. sometimes during the weekend, i would wear for 8 hrs, take it off for 2 hrs for exercises and shower, then put the domes back on for another few hours, break to go out, before putting the domes back on again at night. i think the key to being able to last a long time with with brava is to not sacrifice so much of the other parts of your life. we'll see... maybe this is a dumb idea and i don't make any progress. but as of right now, my breasts are slowly but surely getting fuller, and i don't mind wearing brava at all.
been noticing that in the morning, i can't really wear some of my padded 34A bras. the only ones i can fit into are the stretched out 34A bras. so i'm pretty sure my swelling is around a B cup, and really really full on top.
i wrote in a previous post that my swelling stayed nice for around 4hrs. now they are still a full A cup 6hrs after taking off the domes. by night time, they are a small A cup.
i was sick and stayed at home all day so i left the brava on for 23hrs. when i took it off, it was the largest swelling i've ever gotten measuring at 34.5".
i took a photo an hour after that with the bra on. by that time i think i measured around 33.75" - 34". i'm wearing my old 34A bra. is it just me or does it look way larger than an A cup? maybe my whole bra cup system is way off.
it's now 7 hours after i took off the dome. i went from 34.5" to 33". i'm sure if i waited longer to put the domes back on, they would deflate even more.
Well, lled34aa,
The bra looks like an A, but you're spilling out of it on all corners
I seriously can't wait for the update on your current size. The swelling looks like at least a full B.
I was hoping you could help me with something. I've been trying to find out if it's possible to attach noogleberry cups to the brava system. I know the NB cups are not nearly as comfortable and wont seal as well as the brava domes, but it seems worth a try. I think Im ready to jump on the brava bandwagon. I already have NB cups and I know I can get the rest of the brava system for about $300. Im gonna try using NB foam rings sealed well with vaseline. That may or not be a good idea, but will the cups even fit on the system? What do you think?
mochaccino,
yeah i think the tubbing is interchangeable between brava and noogleberry. BUT, having done both brava and NB, i wouldn't recommending buying brava sports box and pairing it with NB cups (even with foam rings).
the brava sports box is a little bit of a joke. not worth the few hundred dollars they sell it for. the most crucial part about the brava system is the domes, enabling you to wear it for long hours. that's the main and key difference between the NB and Brava. if anything, i would get the brava domes and just suck the air out manually and clip the tubbing with some sort of air lock.
i used the NB for 2 years but was never able to get nearly as much swelling as the brava. i think i got more out of brava these past 16 weeks than i did the past 2 years of doing NB, BO, PM, herb, massages...
good luck! and if you do decide on brava, make sure you know what you're getting into. it's a HUGE commitment.
for me personally, i'm loving the swelling and am very glad i gave brava a try.
Have you ever used the airlock while sleeping? Some people have said theyve done that, but Im not quite sure if they woke up to top it off or not. The whole reason I wanted a smartbox is so that the system could maintain suction on it's own while I sleep. I could never quite get snoogling to work for me, but I never tried it with brava domes.
i haven't used airlock while sleeping. i've tried snoogling countless times though, with and without soft cups. i think the longest i lasted was 3hrs. the brava domes are much more comfortable! that's not to say wearing brava to bed is comfortable by any means, only compared to wearing the NB cups.
i guess the smartbox is good to maintain suction throughout the night. the only thing is, it has to pretty much be airtight, like the brava domes. the NB soft cups leaks a little bit of air from what i can remember.
honestly, the brava system was so hard to get used to sleeping with. doing it with NB cups would be way harder than hard. you would be the first boobie super hero to endure that throughout the night!
last cycle, i experimented with different PM brands. that shorted my cycle by a couple of days, no big deal.
1 week into this cycle, i got really sick so i decided to stop taking PM even though my sickness wasn't related to hormones at all... but a bacterial infection. so second week of cycle i was PM free. third week of cycle i went back to taking 4st herb a day and it's now day 17 and i'm bleeding.
i've had doubts about wether PM affects my cycle at all and now i know for sure it does. the reason i had doubts was because i experimented with different cycles with PM (15 days on, 13 days off, 20 days on, 8 days off, 25 days on, 3 days off etc) and regardless my cycle was almost always 28 days.
anyways, i plan on doing 4 st herb a day, counting bleeding day as day 1, and will go for 20 days on, 8 days off. hopefully this will get my cycle back to normal again.
boobs feel small and deflated. i tried measuring but got such a wide range, from 32.25" - 32.75" so that's pretty useless.
back in may i had the most breast sensations. from june until now, i haven't really had any at all. i wonder if i'm growing in spurts
it's week 17 of brava. i've completed over 1,500 hours of wear. swelling is much better when i drink lots of GR tea.
