Have I stalled?
February 22 2006 at 11:53 PM Waiting Patiently (no login)
I'm taking the Breast gain plus, 3 fenugreek pills which equals to 2230mg daily and saw palmetto 320 mg daily. Ever since I started on my third bottle of BGP from a different factory I've stalled completely. No tingling or any signs of anything.
What's this stalling all about? I've been on pills going on my third month now with no growth to speak of, just fullness. I'm having my period now and I'm not even larger because of that.
Any suggestions? I think Ive decided to dump the BGP and stick with SP and Fenugreek by itself or start the borage oil again.

Since you have been taking these for 3 months, you could consider taking a break for one whole cycle, and then on the first day of your next cycle you could start your routine back up again.
Your body has probably become "used" to the different herbs, and there for you need to give your body a break from it. Then when you "re-introduce" them into your system, you may notice that it all "kicks in" again.
Some people have even reported growth DURING the "break" time.
also if you over load your body on to much at once it can cause you stall out.
SOme suggestions for you--hope I helped.

very rarely do women grow consistantly from month to month so you cant really say you stalled untill maybe about your second month of no growth. there will be ups and downs. 2 steps forwar and maybe 1 back. so you should expect growth and shrinkage and stalling. now let say you are stalling right now. there are many reasons for this. it could be that you got too much stuff in your system right now or you dont have enough. my best guess is that you may need to ramp up now to 3000mg of fenugreek and see if that makes a difference. the best way to ramp up is to first ramp down everything to or stop everying (take a mini break for a week or 2) then jump to the higher dosage and see over the next cycle if you get increased sensations.
you need to give yourself enough time to decide if its really stalling if its just a bump in the road that will just happen from time to time. 1 months is the bare minimum but waiting 2 months would be better. you can also try to do more massages. more often and longer. it may help to get over any bumps. if you do decide to do the mini break thing its a great idea to still at least do the mini break. the reason for the break is cause sometime when you take the same dosages at the same time each day for long periods your body becomes too accustom to the herbs and it stops responding as strongly as it did when you first started and noticed fullness. its a good idea to mix things up a little (miss a dosage here or ther every 2 or so weeks) so you keep your body guessing, alert and responsive or even take 2 day breaks every 2 week to once a month.

Im not going to "harp" on u about the GLA (Borage) b/c I know ur not big on it so I'll just say this and leave it be: Im sure u've seen ALL my pro-GLA posts and I think u need it:-) Re the BGP,did the "new" bottle contents appear any diff from the old ones?? Re ur Fenugreek,are u a B cup,if so then that dose seems fine to me.Re the stalling,it a sign that ur routine may need one or more adjustments due to a sudden OR gradual change in ur uasual growth signs BUT keep in mind that NOT ALL girls have growth symptoms yet STILL grow.And IF I didnt already mention this try to check out the thread "so u think ur growing but the measure tape says ur not".Ur INSTICTS play a HUGE roll in BE-if u feel like ur growing then u probly are and if u feel like ur not then u probly arnt- follow ur "gut" and go from there to keep or change ur routine.Good luck WP

I dumped the BGP alltogether. It smelled the same but the pills were a bit bigger and didnt have the same feeling on the exterior.
My gut says listen to you guys and I'm going to take a break for a week or two then restart the fen, SP and Borage oil for good measure.
I think that may be best for me. I have nothing to lose!
I am also looking locally for 'mother's tea' which is supposed to have fenugreek, fennel and something else to promote production and/or growth. Anyone know how it tastes?

Hi Again WP,now that u told us that ur pills did seem different,I REALLY think that is the problem,especially since ur stall was SO sudden.I dont know if u saw it but some girl(cant recall her name)just recently posted that HER pills looked "different" from one bottle to the next as well,and IF Im not mistaken I believe hers were BGP brand too-how ironic is THAT! Im almost totally convinced now that ur stall is due to a "bad" batch of pills:-

The bottles looked the same but when I opened it I had a bad feeling. I went with that feeling and dumped it. I'll stop for 2 weeks and then start again. I really do want to see if these pills were causing me to gain weight too.
