I wanted to document my journey and with so much to say I just decided to post here. So I've continued to use the large wide brav domes, same routine. I seemed to have plateaued at around 36" several hours after pumping. I went on vacation recently and because I was staying in someone's living room, I could not use any pumping methods.
Ok the next part warrents many a "I told you so!" but I'm going to share anyway and I'll back myself up. Because I could not pump for these 10 days of vacation, and I was scared of loosing my progress, I bought some PM cream to maintain my growth. I used in twice a day whilst on vacation as I was supposed to, and started the first day of my period, as I was suipposed to. Ok, here comes the, "told you so" part: I am on BCP. They say this is a big no-no. However, my logic was: a. don't want to loose growth; b. don't BCP mess with hormones so this just does also, right? c. when I first started BCP, the nurse told me that when they first came out, they had muuuuuuuch larger amounts of hormones in them, so it won't negatively affect me to jsut add a bit more, right? and d. hubby and I are thinking of having kids in a few years so if I'm wrong on this then we just start a bit earlier than planned. and of course he knows about everything and the potential risk. BTW I really really regular with BCP with no problems. So, I get back from vacation, and now I've started my regular BPC with the hormones in it again (as in done with my period). My boobs did not stay as plump as when I was pumping but measurement wise I had not lost anything. Because my boobs are asymetrical, I continued to use a touch of the PM cream on the "smaller" parts: on one side the top, the other the bottom, and both sides toward the middle for cleavage, just ONCE a day now, right after I take off the domes. THEN in the middle of my second week of BCP for this month, I was bleeding! and it turned on and off like a leaky faucet for four days now!
I don't want to call me doctor. I've stopped the PM cream but I don't know whether or not to just continue taking my BCP as if I didn't have a "period" or start a new pack????? And I'm not pregnant. We did a test just in case. More time for us, yay!.
I feel bad spending so much money but I gave in and bought the XL wide domes. I immediatly placed them in the box sideways and others have suggested, thanks! Anywho that's all for now. If anyone is reading this hope you have a great day and didn't feel reading this was a complete waste of your time
