Personally I think swelling is a short term side effect of pumping and is not an indication of growth....   Growth happens every time you pump in very small increments that cumulate over time.   Months and months of time.  I'm of the opinion that if your swelling then you are doing it correctly and getting the full benefit of the vacuum.  I know from my experience that when I didn't get swelling, I wasn't pumping correctly.
