I'm stopping Maca too. It has also made my thighs bigger (& my butt - something I did not want).
I'm still taking GR. I tried to decrease it & it seemed like the breast swelling also decreased so I upped the dose. I measure smallest in the AM & more in the evening. I attribute that to the GR. I've been on a modified version of Eve's program since 5/31. Adding black seed, licorice & red clover. Since mid June I've been gradualing increasing the Hops & FG (to balance the estrogen). I try to measure at the same spot (have a mole there) to make sure the measurements are accurate. I have gained about 1/4 in. but my bras (cups) don't fit any tighter. I have the "estrogen" depression which Isabelle said means it's working. Sometimes the depression is so bad I want to chuck all the supplements & quit.
As you said it's trial & error but you's think after 26 mo. I'd find something that works.
lostacres, congrats on the .25" increase! i understand your frustration. believe me. we've both been at this for a long time. at least there's progress right? better than none. it's hard not to compare ourselves with other people on this forum. have you thought about combating the depression with exercise?
week 24 of brava:
i've worn brava for over 2,082 hrs. still wearing the same narrow large domes. i'm pretty sure i hit a plateau a few weeks back. my swelling hasn't gotten any larger. my process seemed to have stalled. i'm slacking off on the hrs a bit... clocking in at less than 10hrs on some nights. i'm hoping to get a new pair of narrow extra large domes soon with the help of a fellow forum member.
Hello Lled34AA,
I do exercise 4 x a week - power walk 3-4 miles each session. I also do light weight training. I used to walk 7 days a week but read that anything over 3 days burns the fat (from the breasts) that I need so that's why I scaled back. I also take 5HTP to counteract it but it still overwhelms me sometimes. When I tried BO about 1.5 yrs ago, I knew nothing about depression caused by it. It hit me so bad that I saw a psych dr. who said it was chemically caused. I stopped the BO but again didn't realize that PM (& now Hops) cause depression too. I never had PMS in my menstruating years. But I'm so desparate that I won't stop.
When are you going to change your name from 34AA? You earned a new name with your progress!!!!!

thanks, but i'm still not filling my 34A bra the way i want!
week 25th of brava:
i am filling up the narrow large domes to the max after 12 hrs of wear (as long as it's not the first few days of my cycle). last nights, my nipples touch the end of the domes only 3hrs into my session.
i have a comparison of where i am now against how i was right before starting brava. the photo on the right is 10hrs after taking off brava so i'm sure there's a bit of swelling left. regardless, i think it's still a big improvement from the before photo. i don't expect to double my growth in the next 25 weeks, but i do hope to grow a little more and have it be permanent growth and not just swelling.
thanks mesusuana! how are you doing? are you still using brava?
i am manually sucking out the air, then plugging it back into the smart box incase i lose suction while i sleep. i find the suction that the smart box does on its own is too weak. i'm not sure if this is because my smart box is defective.
I think I did something wrong with brava, so I was so disappointed after 20weeks wearing, but I'm going to give it another try soon because I still have the domes, but the smart box doesn't work anymore...
I'm so tired of all this rounties of NBE with nothing growth, I had tried everything and work too hard with brava too...
Can I only such the air manually without smartbox?
during your 20 weeks on brava, were you using only the smartbox? did you experience increasing swelling size throughout the 20 weeks? did you have to move up to a larger dome?
i think the smartbox's suction is too weak. so yes, i think you can just use the domes and suck out the air through the tubing like if you're drinking out of a straw. then fasten the end with a clip, or even with the non-fuctioning smartbox... just so it can seal the air in. but careful not to suck too much at the beginning. if you feel pain, back off. i can fill up both domes now in about 10hrs of wear without it hurting me. all i feel is a good amount of pull on my breasts.
how long after you stop brava did you deflate back to your before size? i'm very sorry that happened! did you take before and after photos? i find that's a better way to measure growth rather than measuring tape.
i don't know how old you are. i am in my early 30s, so i don't have the advantages of the younger girls. that's why i'm supplementing with PM and gelatin on op of brava. i also drink goat's rue tea and spearmint tea, but not that often anymore.
i've also been doing chest exercises. i'm not sure if the improvement in my shape is due to exercise or brava.. or maybe both.
on the PM front, i think i found a combination that i like, that's a little cheaper than me taking just st. herb. i'm now taking 1 siriporn and 1 st. herb morning and night. so 2 of each brand each day. let's just say i have a healthy libido with this combination too, as a bonus. i take PM 20 days in a row.
i'm not too fond of Bioeva's breast lotion because of the film texture it leaves on my skin. i think i prefer ro-bust lotion. st herb lotion smells better and has better texture, but it's way too expensive. i think i'm done experimenting with different PM brands for now. i'll just stick to siriporn and st herb.
i fill out the narrow large domes to the max in less than 12hrs. my nipples touch the ends of the domes within 3hrs or so. 12hrs after taking off the domes, the size that i deflate down to is larger than my swelling size when i noogled.
i realize my measurements are misleading because i'm growing a lot on top, which doesn't show up in the tape measurement. though i didn't increase much in measurements, my photos show quite a bit more breast tissues.
i'm back to using ro-bust lotion. the combination of robust, siriporn, st herb capsules, and spearmint tea gives me breast tingles. every time i experiment with other combination, it seems that breast tingles go away. so i am sticking to this combination.
