Yes, it would make it harder for you to grow but not impossible. Try loading up on protein.

Also try to gain a bit of weight. Eat nutrient dense things like whole fat milk, cheese, dried fruits, and nuts. Lots of nuts. Oh, and eat lots of carbs before sleep.

You sound really similar to myself when I was 18 except I am 5'5". I was a bean pole and I ate all the time, I was always hungry. I only weighed about 100 lbs, had no curves what so ever.
I started drinking protein shakes, carnation instant breakfast, ensure and I ate everytime I was hungry. I also drank slim fast but it didnt have the slimming effect because I believe it is meant to be drank in place of a meal. I drank it because it is high in vitamins and I think protein, and I drank it with meals.
I did gain weight after that. And when I started gaining weight I was also exercising so I would stay in shape(no cardo though) and my boobs did get bigger. A few months later I started Ortho-tri-cyclen and I went from barely an A cup to a B cup. I do have curves now, so there is hope for you.

Considering your age and your size (you may still grow until you are 21) I would suggest you incorporate foods that have phytoestrogens in them. Also, eat tons of protein!!! Here is a list of foods that contain phytoestogens:
Apples.
Alfalfa sprouts.
Celery.
Parsley.
Beets.
Bok choy.
Broccoli.
Cauliflower.
Carrots.
Cucumbers.
Mushrooms.
Brussel sprouts.
Seaweeds.
Squash.
Pumpkin seeds.
Sunflower seeds.
Cherries.
Olives.
Pears.
Plums.
Tomatoes.
Prunes.
Barley.
Oats.
Brown rice.
Wheat germ.
Bulgur.
BrewerÂ’s Yeast.
Black-eye peas.
Mung bean sprouts.
Navy beans.
Red beans.
Split peas.
Spices; cloves, ginger, hops, oregano, red raspberry, sage tea, thyme, turmeric.
Good luck

DO NOT OVER LOAD ON PHYTOESTROGENS!!!
some fruit and Vegatables that contain phytoestrogens are good for you and its ok to consume them normally while on NBE but if you take too much along with the high dosage capsules for your routine then several bad things can happen:
1) you can over load on estrogen (blocking regular estrogen in your body with the weak phytoestrogens) which can send your hormone levels astray. its not too healthy.
2)too much estrogen can prevent you from growing just as much as having too little.
3)most phytoestrogens wont do anything for breast enlargement. so you would be wasting time and money.
as for your diet. try to gain some weight. get your BMI over 21. cause without fat storage NBE will be hard. you maynot have any problems getting your glands to enlarge but to keep the results you need to have fat.
the skinner you are the less estrogen you have in your body( the fat and estrogen pretty much go hand and hand). eating lots of fruits, veggies, and protein but consuming any and all foods with phytoestrogens may not be the answer. there are some warning against that so you may want to do some research.
also, have you ever been on a BCP? or consider talking with your doctor about getting your hormone levels tested? Your doctor can put you on a hormonal combination that may help you get normal levels and as an added bonas, enlarge your breast. and your doctor can best advice you on solutions to slow down your metabolism and gain weight.
do a google for sites that give you some tips and suggestions for healthy weight gain.
hope i was of some help
good luck

sweetpea, you can still grow without weight gain just fine. you can start a routine for a few months with what ever method you want to try and see if the growth stays on its own. It can happen for some women without any weight gain what so ever. some girls get lucky like that. if your routine doesnt work or if you loose the growth then you can try some weight gain.
good luck with your routine

Jasmine, thats not true. its worth a shot. look at Lucilles pics for instance she was so skinny and almost completly flat before she started. the only problem is weither you have enough tissue and fat already there to help stimulate futher growth. there is a member at the beboard called lilsx, she was pretty small before she started NBE. she also has some pictures. if you are smaller and flater then these women then NBE may be more difficult fo you but not impossible. give it a try without any special diet. if nothing. you may want to try a wieght gain diet then try the herb again. the problem with skinny girls is that breasts are 80+% fat. if you have a hard time with weight gain then fat deposition will be even more difficult in the breast.

Don't get discouraged, skinny girls!
December 16 2005, 8:31 PM
I'm 19, 4'11.75" (doctor refuses to credit me with that last 1/4 inch!), and 95 pounds. I lost 7 pounds in 3 days at the beginning of the semester (emotional stress), but then my roommate and friends staged an intervention, and I gained it back in two weeks. After that whole fiasco, I was the same weight as I was before, but I looked skinnier. That was when I started my fenugreek-saw palmetto regimen. I have always been a small (some say medium) A. After the first month, there wasn't any measureable growth, but they got wider. Then I hit a plateau the second month. Now it's the third month, and I've changed my regimen a little bit after reading around the board a bit. I'm now taking 2 fenugreek tablets twice a day and 2 saw palmetto a day. I only started this two weeks ago, and my breasts are definitely swelling. I've been told that my breasts simply look bigger because I'm skinnier now, but trust me, it's not true. From feeling them, holding them, etc., it is obvious to me that they're fuller, if not bigger. So don't worry if you have high metabolism or are skinny. As long as your weight and body fat content stays constant, NBE should work just as well for you. But if you're as small as I was when I started (not completely flat but pretty flat), I would do what many people have been saying and ramp down your fenugreek dosage and ramp up your saw palmetto. Also, fenugreek is making me, my bed, and my room smell like syrup, so I might replace half of my fenugreek usage with fennel (also fennel neutralizes bad breath, as a side plus).
Phew. Sorry for the long-windedness... now time to go back to studying for finals! Good luck everyone (with NBE, that is)!

On the subject of protein, some people trying to gain weight prefer to gain muscle mass instead of fat. Consuming plenty of protein is key to help lean muscle mass gains, but won't do anything to increase body fat.
