After reading and reading about everyone else's success stories, I deecided to take the plunge and give it a shot. I got my Bosom Beauty 2012 yesterday and jumped right in. I'm starting slow so to reduce the chance that I overpump. Yesterday I did 10 min with the medium cushioned cups on level 3 right after recieving it at lunch (you know... to make sure it all worked. 
). No issues and rings went away within 15 min. So before bed, I decided to see how I did with a longer timer. I went 15 minutes this time at level 3 and went to bed. I did find it difficult to keep suction when I laid down, so I have a feeling that it's all going to be done at the desk sitting up before bed.
I got a good 8 hours of sleep last night. This morning I felt a little heavy, and that was unexpected so soon after starting. After my morning cup of coffee, I jumped on the machine to try and get my routine started. Again at level 3, and sitting at the desk I did 20 minutes and they were swelling pretty good. Rings were gone after about a half hour of stopping. I think, with the quick recovery from pumping and what I read from others, that level 3 is probably a good place to start for the first couple months.
My current plan is pretty simple:
6 am and 8pm daily pumping on level 3 for the manufacturer's recommended 30 minute sessions.
Aloe Vera massage 10 min prior to pumping sessions.
2000 mg MSM suppliment
** I stay pretty hydrated, so I won't really track fluid intake.
I started a quick journal to keep track of times, levels, fill volume, cup mark dissapation, and pre-pump bust size. I'm pretty excited to start this journey, and welcome input as this progresses. Unfortunately I don't want to play with my hormone levels. With my history, that may be inviting trouble.
