I agree with the lovely ladies here...
It's too soon to judge your progress in your program, you need to give it more time. What size domes are you using? I got the pinched nerve syndrome as I like to call it when I changed from M domes to L's then again when I moved up to XL's it took a few weeks of going easy but eventually I was able to pump harder without issues, for the most part I haven't used any padding. Keep in mind I have a high tolerance to pain. I used padding for a little while with the XL's but haven't in months LOL. And I think I'm doing fine.
And I agree that BO takes longer to start seeing the effects than herbs do because BO doesn't give temporary swelling, it gives permanent growth, so like puberty, takes time. Be patient hun, that's the best thing to do.
Yes increasing water will help with swelling. I didn't get any swelling in my first two weeks, then it was slight and only lasted 5 minutes after pumping, but over time started lasting longer and longer, so give it time! And I only pump 1 to 2 times a day, I started out 30 min at a time, now I do an hour. I do a pump and hold technique with an increase... what I mean by this is I pump until it's tight, wait until that level of pressure feels comfy them pump again until it's tight, I do that the entire session. That has worked for me, but you should experiment and find what technique works best for you, we are all different.
As far as "banana boobs" LOL tell hubby to calm down! That you will be fine. I had saggy loose skin a lil bit before NB, it fixed my problem, now they are perky and tight. Also if you go on the NB forum, user Sunsetz said she had saggy breasts and loose skin, it fixed hers too! And her results are more amazing then mine! (I'm soooo envious!)
And like you when I took herbs I got nasty side effects including but not limited to... weight gain, cellulite, loss of sex drive (I went from everyday to forcing myself to be in the mood once a month!), hair loss, increased acne, moodiness, cramping during period, the list goes on and on, I stopped them after 2 months of use cause of it, did a cleanse, used NB then started UB.
If you are still keeping the side effects... taking hair vitamins brought my hair back and using Pantiene Pro V Full and Thick shampoo and conditioner, and believe me I've tried every "thickening" shampoo there is, I tried Nioxin (think that's how it's spelled) I tried Nexxus Vitatress, all of them very expensive with no long term good effects. I been using the full and thick for... at least 7 months? Something like that, and my hair is definitely feeling lovely everyday.
For the loss of sex drive, I recently started taking Maca as someone suggested it to me for libido help, and it's worked fantastically! I'm back to every other day now! A whole lot better than what it was. Not sure if you should mix maca with BO, but I'm no expert with that, I'm currently not taking BO. But yea, the maca has helped my sex drive, energy levels, etc. Hubby is loving it hahaha.
Hope this helps and good luck!
