I started my period about two weeks ago on friday (Oct. 19) which ended on wednesday (Oct. 24). During which I lost all the swelling in my breasts that I had initially gained when I first started. I'm uncertain as to what caused this.
My sleeping schedule has been hectic so I'm considering the possibility of that interfering.
I've been reading a lot of what [url=

]Wahaika[/url] has said in another forum about when to start your routine. Starting in fall/winter causes slow growth due to the body storing fat in other places. So I'm keeping the following in mind:
Get plenty of exercise
Get plenty of sunlight (an hour each day)
B vitamins, Kelp, GABA, multivitamin, zinc
No carbs 2 hours before bedtime
I currently don't have any Kelp or GABA and am running low on zinc. I'm thinking I'm going to have to look into it a bit more before I go out and purchase something as I'm also considering getting MSM and collagen capsules. Ugh, so much stuff.
I also decided to follow something Wahaika said about stretching early in the morning. I'm learning to time my massages with my workout routine which primarily consists of the 8 Min Stretch series (it's from 1994, real old but effective, I'm sure you can find it on youtube). I'm mostly doing the Abs and Buns part of the series in addition to the Stretch. Because I'm using dumbells to work out my arms and I bike pretty much everywhere.
I'm also considering the hormone levels during a woman's cycle, namely the chart on wikipedia that everyone's using. I've seen it before but I haven't really put effort into understanding it beyond some of its uses in terms of PM.
I'm also considering the ramp up method, but I'll have to wait on that.
A thing I'd like to note. I used some PC two days after my period only once a day following Doll's method to apply in different areas so the receptors don't fill up too much. I didn't do it for any longer because PC makes me nervous. Since then I've been mostly exercising enough to get my heart pumping and my limbs aching. My breasts have been feeling tingly. A little bit achy and heavy but I'm uncertain if it's just in my mind. The lack of swelling has me a bit off my game so I'm trying not to focus too intently on it and do my exercises.
