Stats:
Above: 30"
Fullest: 30 1/2"
Under: 26 3/4"
Starting bra size: 32AA/32A
Current bra size: 32B/34A depending on bra style/cut/brand
Waist: 24 1/4" (I'd like to bring this down at least an inch)
Hips: 33 1/2" (Also like to take this down an inch or so)
(Gained increases in both waist and hips the last couple months, I believe it had a little to do with ED)
Age: 25
Height: 5'1/2" (very small frame)
Weight: 91 lbs
History: 25 years old, have one 3 year old son whom I breastfed for 6 months. Am a little bigger now than I was before my pregnancy thanks to NBE. After my pregnancy and nursing, my breasts were tiny, deflated and incredibly saggy. Also have stretch marks on them which is another reason I'm wanting to grow - the fuller they are, the less visible the stretch marks will be. Took PM for a few months with no results, then took WU for 6 months and grew 1 1/4". Did all but 1/4" of my growing during the first month. Breasts are looking much fuller and firmer, but I'm still far from my goal.
Goal: Would love to fill out some more (especially tops of breasts) and would be absolutely thrilled to be a full 32C.
Program:
AM
Vitex- 400mg (Solaray <not the "Potency Guaranteed" line, just the regular>)
Borage Oil- 500mg (Spring Valley brand)
Gelatin- 1300mg (Spring Valley brand)
Ground Flaxseed- 1/1 tbsp in drink or cereal (Bob's Red Mill Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal)
Massage following Pansyclub's massage technique using NOW brand 100% Pure Cocoa Butter
Total of 4 pills
Afternoon
Vitamin C With Rose Hips - 500mg (Origin brand from Target, chewable)
Marine Collagen- 1100mg (Nature's Life from myvitanet.com)
Biotin- about 2500mcg or 2.5mg (Rexall Naturals brand)
Gelatin- 1300mg (Spring Valley brand)
Total of 5 pills, one being chewable
PM
Vitex- 400mg
Borage Oil- 500mg
Ground Flaxseed- 1/2 tbsp
Gelatin- 1300mg
Massage as stated above with 10-15 heating pad after
Total of 4 pills
I'm mostly going the Vitex route right now because I suspect I have some estrogen dominance. Hoping to balance things out. Not expecting growth from just Vitex but it sure would be a nice surprise! I'm eventually going to add Maca and magnets to this program. Possibly suction too.

Have been taking Biotin for almost a week. Noticing softer, shinier hair! Nails seem stronger too and my skin seems more glowy. Have been back on Borage Oil for a couple days and started on Vitamin C w/Rose Hips tonight. Also started massage tonight. Still doing cleanse with Milk Thistle and will take my last pills on the 21st and begin Vitex on Monday. I'm excited!
9-20
Went to Wal Mart today to buy more Borage Oil caps and happened to come across Gelatin caps. Haven't been able to find them anywhere else so I bought some. The bottle says "10 Grain" and instructions are to take 2 after each meal and 2 before bed for a total of 8 daily. I'm not going to take that many, but I'll probably try to take 2 after each meal or maybe just 4 a day. Just wish I had my collagen caps to compliment it! Noticed some random pains throughout the day in both breasts and even felt very brief tingling in my right a little after I took my first two Gelatin caps. So hopefully that's a good sign. Also added the ground Flaxseed today. Measured back up to 30 3/4" again tonight but we'll see if it sticks around. (I was measuring that when I ended my last program but it had disappeared by the time I took my new measurements for this one.)
9-21
Noticed last night that about an hour after doing my nightly massage of cocoa butter plus heat that I was a little tender. I'm inclined to say it's due to the massaging because I didn't do my left breast at all today, only my right, and the soreness is mostly gone from the left but stronger in my right. That's pretty awesome. I didn't actually expect anything to happen so quickly. Unfortunately I made *another* stupid mistake and warmed up the entire tub of butter in the microwave. Thought about it afterwards and I probably shouldn't be applying it to my breasts since it's not safe to eat or drink anything that's been warmed up in plastic in the microwave. I'm going back to the store I bought my Vitex at to exchange for the Guaranteed Potency (or maybe buy it in addition to the one I've got) so I'm going to ask whether or not it could be dangerous for me to use the cocoa butter now. But I think that applying the very warm liquid cocoa butter helped a lot. It makes sense... we apply heat after and sometimes even before our massages. Notice an increase in pains after taking Gelatin. Getting some pretty good pains and even some tingling.
Wow - I just measured and I'm now at 30 inches (sometimes even 30 1/4" but I'll go with the lower measurement)!! That's a 1/2" increase?!?! My left breast (bigger one) is looking very full and plump! Right is still sadly behind so I think I'm only going to massage that one. Gosh, now I'm almost reluctant to start Vitex! If I'm getting results from just doing what I've been doing, I'm afraid Vitex might mess it up! Period is due in about 9 days but when I'm not on herbs I never get soreness or swelling so I'm pretty sure the increase has nothing to do with that. We'll see though. It's encouraging at the very least!

Also, I've pretty much come to the realization that I've been screwed over by myvitanet.com No replies to my emails, no answers to my phone calls, nothing. At least I paid with PayPal and can get my money back. I guess I'm just out the almost 2 weeks wasted waiting for it.
To top it off I've felt kinda icky tonight, like I did when I was on WU - tired, kind of foggy thinking, headache... I don't know if it's my impending period or the Vitex but I wouldn't think it could be having an impact yet?
Other stats: Weighed myself last night and was 90lbs with clothes and shoes on (yay for losing weight!) Seem to be measuring pretty consistently at 30 3/4". At times I'll get 31" and others barely 30 1/2". It's gotta be error with my measuring. My soreness seems to have disappeared for the most part and I can only infer that it's due to the addition of Vitex. Still having pains though.

If it is the Vitex I'm not sure what to do. Should I go on a break for a month or two and then start up on WU again or Natureday when I can afford it? Or should I start back in with individual herbs? Not sure what to go with.
Kinda bummed out. Some people frequently change programs because they become impatient and want quicker/better results but with me, the only reasons I've ever changed them was because I was having some sort of bad side effect from whatever I was taking. It gets really frustrating but I'm not ready to give up yet. I know I could have had even better success with WU if I'd just been able to take it longer. I think I'd actually take the headaches and fatigue over this chest stuff. I just want a program I can stick with!

I've been measuring between 30 3/4" and 31". With my period being so close (1-2 days from now) I'm sure the difference is just caused from pre-period swelling. Left breast isn't sore but right is still pretty sore. It may just be my imagination but it looks like my right breast may have filled out some and just has a better shape overall. Again, could just be because my period's so close.
I'm continuing my program as stated above. Will be adding Collagen very soon.

Random updates: I must be doing something at least somewhat right. Today my breasts are sore, more so the right one, as usual. They haven't gotten this sore since I grew from WU! Also this evening I got that same feeling of letdown that I did when I was on WU. My right breast still looks more filled out and seems to be catching up to the left a little. I do feel it has something to do with the Vitex because my soreness was almost completely gone the 2nd day of my break from it, and the day after I started it back up the soreness started coming back. Measuring 31". Still no period... after tomorrow I will consider it late. I'm interested to see how everything goes once my period is over -whether I'll lose everything or keep it.
Also, for my own notes, I saw mention of a supplement called MacaActive on the board. It's another product that balances hormones. If Vitex continues to cause the icky chest stuff I might consider switching to that. The effects were pretty bad again today. Hoping to eventually try Bella's PM once my hormones get straightened out.

Quote:Stats:I'm feeling a little bit discouraged right now. Today was my second day of taking 2 Vitex caps (800mg/day). Unfortunately I think I might be having a little bit of an allergic reaction to it. Ever since I started taking it I've had that tight, wheezy type feeling in my chest (but NO actual wheezing) that I get sometimes when I'm having an allergic reaction. I'm not having ANY actual trouble breathing! If I was I'd stop taking everything immediately and get my butt to the hospital. It's just that really annoying, uncomfortable feeling and I end up coughing every 30 seconds to try to relieve it. My allergies have been kind of bad the last several days anyway but I never get that tightness in my chest just from outdoor allergies. I do have issues with air conditioners and I've been at work where it's been blasting so maybe that's to blame. I'm going to give the Vitex one more day and if I'm still feeling it I'll stop taking it for a couple days to see if it improves. I really hope that's not what's causing it. If it is, then I guess I've got to come up with a new plan. This feeling is really annoying and I don't want to have to deal with it for the next few months. I've also noticed increased heart rate every once in a while which I've read can be a side-effect of Vitex. This doesn't seem to be going too smoothly for me.

If not, I'll take turns removing each new thing I've added to see if that's the cause. (Except borage oil because I've been taking that for a year now with no problems.) I've read that allergic reactions to Vitex are very rare and I'm not the kind of person who tends to be allergic to a lot so I dunno. I felt pretty much fine earlier today when I was at home, even after I took my Vitex, but then once I got to work again it got bad. I would think if it was an allergic reaction to Vitex it would happen closer to when I've taken it? Also kind of points again to the a/c here.

I added it back in Friday night (so I could rule out the a/c issue at work) and sure enough, the symptoms were back within a half an hour after taking the first pill. So I can definitely say it's from the Vitex. Fortunately though, for some strange reason the symptoms haven't come back as strongly as they did the first time. It was kind of bad Friday night but yesterday and today haven't been bad at all. I don't have the racing, heavy heartbeat or the really heavy feeling in my lungs. The tightness and coughing thing also isn't nearly as bad. So maybe my system has somewhat adjusted to it or something? So I've decided that I'm going to stick it out as long as I can. Maybe it will improve even more. I have no idea why but the symptoms are worse at night. During the day I feel pretty much fine.

Waist: 24 1/4" (I'd like to bring this down at least an inch)
Hips: 33 1/2" (Also like to take this down an inch or so)
(Gained increases in both waist and hips the last couple months, I believe it had a little to do with ED)
Age: 25
Height: 5'1/2" (very small frame)
Weight: 91 lbs
History: 25 years old, have one 3 year old son whom I breastfed for 6 months. Am a little bigger now than I was before my pregnancy thanks to NBE. After my pregnancy and nursing, my breasts were tiny, deflated and incredibly saggy. Also have stretch marks on them which is another reason I'm wanting to grow - the fuller they are, the less visible the stretch marks will be. Took PM for a few months with no results, then took WU for 6 months and grew 1 1/4". Did all but 1/4" of my growing during the first month. Breasts are looking much fuller and firmer, but I'm still far from my goal.
Goal: Would love to fill out some more (especially tops of breasts) and would be absolutely thrilled to be a full 32C.

I'm mostly going the Vitex route right now because I suspect I have some estrogen dominance. Hoping to balance things out. Not expecting growth from just Vitex but it sure would be a nice surprise! I'm eventually going to add Maca and magnets to this program. Possibly suction too.
I'm also on vitex right now, sorotf a filler balancing routine while I'm dealing with some health issues, not for estrgen dominance tho but for excess androgens, and to see if it has any other nice effects for me. Anyway good luck!

Quote:Stats:Moon, thank you for your input! That really gave me encouragement. It's good to know that it can be "normal" and can come and go. (Hopefully it will do more going more than coming!) I'd like to be able to stick with it. The chest stuff was kind of bad again today, so I may try taking it in intervals for a while like you suggested! Good luck to you as well!

Random updates: I must be doing something at least somewhat right. Today my breasts are sore, more so the right one, as usual. They haven't gotten this sore since I grew from WU! Also this evening I got that same feeling of letdown that I did when I was on WU. My right breast still looks more filled out and seems to be catching up to the left a little. I do feel it has something to do with the Vitex because my soreness was almost completely gone the 2nd day of my break from it, and the day after I started it back up the soreness started coming back. Measuring 31". Still no period... after tomorrow I will consider it late. I'm interested to see how everything goes once my period is over -whether I'll lose everything or keep it.
Also, for my own notes, I saw mention of a supplement called MacaActive on the board. It's another product that balances hormones. If Vitex continues to cause the icky chest stuff I might consider switching to that. The effects were pretty bad again today. Hoping to eventually try Bella's PM once my hormones get straightened out.
