These first few post are being moved from my program pages on the old board so that it's all together in one place for easy reference.

I'm 37 years old
I'm 5"8 and 130 pounds give or take a pound depending on the day.
I'm the mother of 3 and nursed all of them.
smoker
under the breast is 32 inches my breast are 36. of course these vary a bit from day to day too!
my constant body temp stays between 96.3 and 97.2 ick I know.
I'm beginning this NBE adventure using Bountiful Breast. I started taking it the 22nd of July. i went by the book following the BB guidelines.

T-lyrosine
Kelp
One pill in the morning
one pill at night.
Breast massage each night before bed.

I saw nothing the first few weeks. I had no pains, no tingles, nothing had changed. I was feeling a little frustrated and one day glanced down at my bottles of pills mulling over what could be wrong and noticed I had the wrong pills. I had gotten L-lysine by accident. So off to the store to buy the right stuff. Within 24 hours, I began having tingles and very very tender breast! yeah!
my body temp was still staying around 96.3, but I figured if i have tingles and pains, then somethings happening so why stress?

I've been on it for 6 weeks now. In the last 2 weeks since beginning the L-tyrosine I immeadiately noticed fullness even though every time i measured there was no change in it. I then put on a strapless that is very very padded because it's the only thing I could wear before and I was shocked to see that I was spilling out of the top of it and had cleavage! whoohooo. I was still shocked at no change in measurements even though to look at them you could visually see a difference and more bounce.

Today I took my measurements again when I began to write this and found I am now 36 and 1/4th, but I am due to start my period any day now so I don't know if this si swelling due to that or if it will stick around afterward. We'll see.


I am a little concerned now about how my program will go from here on out. I was put on small doses of chemo to get a rare form of arthritis under control. I don't see how that could effect hormones, but we'll see if it does. I was told by my docs that I can continue to take any suppliments I have been taking and they consider these suppliments also. it's just a matter of will they work while on small doses of chemo? So here's a new one that hasn't been adressed on the board before I'm guessing, so I guess I'll be the guinea pig in this one. LOL

By the way I also began chantix this past week in hopes of becoming a non smoker since BB says that it can effect growth, and I guess my health should be important too! I sure have always been embarrassed that I smoke. I hate the smell, I hate the taste. who can say why I've done it for so many years other than I enjoy how relaxing it always felt. Now, to relax, I'll just do breast massaging!

I also wanted to try out the insert picture section. For now this is all I can come up with to post to give an idea of the before. The after pics will have to wait until I can figure out somewhere private that can host pictures so that I can link them here.
