Hello ladies,
Girlfriday asked me to chime in with any opinions that I might have, so here it goes...
A significant problem in the puzzle regarding the smaller sizes is the amount of tissue to work with. This does not take into account other reasons that may exist such as diet, BMI, etc. As far as receptors go, the less there are, the higher the probability that one will stall.
Taking charge of your program and being in tune with your body signals must be done with great precision, or ignored completely. I think that Girlfriday has done an excellent job as I read through her program.
Here are some general options as I see it, currently:
1. Take individual herbs and ramp them up S-L-O-W. Expect that being on this program will take a long time such as a year. Stressing over it all the time is counterproductive. Continue with healthy diet and exercies, avoid sugars and starches, take a multivitamin with a B complex. (looking for about 80mcg of B12 in that B complex)
2. Try a cycling program with larger dosages which will keep the body guessing. This could give the endocrine system a kick start as it attempts to adjust. Body builders employ something similar to get muscles to grow large quickly.
Here is a cycling program that could be worked with. Each individual will have to make changes to conform it to their body. I don't recommend this for more than 3 months at a time. Do a liver cleanse during breaks. It is specifically intended for women (based on the menstrual cycle) who have never conceived.

Take herbs as stated with no ramp up. The idea is to keep the body guessing and not allow it to adapt. This also takes place on specific days of the menstrual cycle.
Fenugreek 1000mg 3 times per day during days 5-10 and 18-23
Saw Palmetto 1000mg 3 times per day during days 1 through midcycle.
Wild Yam 1000mg three times per day during days 18-23
Goat's Rue 1000mg 3 times per day during days 5-10
Take 1000mg 3 times per day of flaxseed oil every day.
Drink 2 cups per day of spearmint or mint tea for days 1 through midcycle.
One cup of fennel tea every day.
Do massage every day with a phytoestrogen batter such as fenugreek and olive oil with borage oil if possible. Always cover with a heavy plastic wrap and follow with 30 minutes of heat from a heated pad set to low - or warm towels, etc.
If over age 30, take 2000mg of GABA every night.
3 tsp of unflavored gelatin every day - or chicken feet soup.
Take a multivitamin with a B complex. (looking for about 80mcg of B12 in that B complex)
Watch diet. Stay away from sugars and starches. Get plenty of dark leafy greens and meat such as chicken or beef.
This routine has never been tried. If any side effects, chime in and they can be addressed.

Olive oil/fenugreek powder/borage oil batter:
Make two batches. One batch to keep on hand steeping while the other batch is used:
1/2 cup Olive Oil + 1/2 cup Fenugreek powder + 24 (1000mg) Borage Oil Caps steeped for one week minimum before first use. (The longer the better) Some vitamin E could be added to this if desired. I would say that 12 (1000mg) for the above amount would be adequate. Again, the vitamin E is optional and it should be observed which one works best for each individual.
Get 2 8oz containers, preferably dark glass bottles. Steep (soak/let sit in a dark cool place like a closet) one while using the other.
Shake well every few days and before each usage.
Apply pre-heat from a heated pad set to low for 5 minutes.
Massage in enough batter to cover the area on each side for about 5 or 10 minutes or until absorbed
Cover with saran wrap.
Apply heat for 15 to 20 more minutes from the heated pad set to low.
Leave the concoction on all night if possible.
Do this every night. Do this each day if possible making a total of two massages per day. Three is even better.
-----
Do pectoral exercises at incline/decline/level angles: butterflies, cable pull (or chest pack), and bench press. Not too much. The idea is to get growth hormone stimulated but not to burn fat. Do a few sets of 5 to 8 reps of heavy weight. Start light and work up. Don't overdo it!
Three more exercises by Chiyomilk from Japan. These are in addition to the massage with heat and address pressure points, etc. All women of all sizes should do these as part of an NBE program:
