If you are forgetting dosages have you considered a pre mixed programme of herbs, take a pill/extract morning & night and forget about it type thing? I'm not an advocate of suggesting people to take herbs but it seems you have tried herbs and creams as you say and you stopped with the PM when you it messed with your cycle. You are aware of your bodies repsonses which is great!
I wonder if the fenugreek worked for you because you've been a mom etc like me and are predisposed to pregnancy related hormones, maybe try that again but more regularly and see how you go? Im doing natureday's herbs. It seems to be working for me, based I think on the fact ive been a mom too and lactated etc so the herbs in this programme seem to be surrounded around galactalogues.
Just a thought, and if you did start low obviously and monitor your responses and work up.
Alternatively after I had baby I LOST a bucket load of weight - breasts included (was small anyway so double blow).
It took me a few years of upping protein and supplementing with multis and protein shakes to get myself back up to a healthy weight and with it came "some" (bugger all) extra boobs..
PS I booked in an appointment for acupuncture once.. I was fretting constantly and made the mistake of googling "acupuncture gone wrong" a day before my appointment!!! Needless to say I cancelled the appointment right away lol
I realise this was an irrashional response and of course it was unexperienced people who made the errors that they did. I wish I had of gone now! I do fear needles though OMG do I!
I wonder if there is Chinese "ACCUPRESSURE"??? And if it gets the same response...
Anyway love to hear how you go with the acupuncture if you get results etc as I could certainly do with some energy unblocking :p
Hi Ella! I was google-ing around and found fenugreek familiar. It's not until I drop by to buy it when the sales person asked me if I was breast feeding, then it clicked that this was the pills I took during pregnancy!! (Can't blame the pregnancy brain)
I am only afraid my boobs start oozing out milk with a higher dosage of fenugreek! The maple syrup smell people claim, I didnt notice it at all!!
As for PM, I have known about it for sooooo long only tried it early this year and I didnt like that my period was late (Twice). I have always been regular, so getting my period late raises a lot of panic in me.
Really hope to "master" PM. I mean it must have worked to have a whole topic on it right here in this forum!!

I was pregnant at 17. Pregnancy made me gain good weight, I was bones and flesh. LOVE the pregnancy boobs. If I could get them to stay!!
It is more of electro acupuncture. He has an electric device that will "zap" the pressure points. It kinda hurt, my mom was surprised I handled the pain so well.
YIKES. if i did that search, i would have backed out too. Hehehe. I will be optimistic and carry on with the treatment!

There is Chinese accupressure around, it is really easy to find them in my country. However I dont speak mandarin (most of them are old uncles in dodgy looking shops!), it will be super awkward to try communicate with them. I did read in a local bridal forum that Chinese accupressure helps. I am considering going to them since the acupuncturist my mom recommend has a very LONG waiting time.
