I've been taking the iodine, shatavari, and hops for a week now. I added the hops early, halfway through my menstrual cycle.
 
I've been at my BF's so I haven't been able to pump or massage as much, I kind of sneak off and go a bit while he's preoccupied/sleeping but it's not to the same degree as if I was at home.
 
My diet has been pretty shitty and I'm trying to get myself to do small workouts here and there
 
Notes:
 

• Since taking the iodine (1000mg per day) now for a bit I'm not sure if it's placebo or if it's actually reducing the dense breast tissue? It also could be the borage oil? (2000mg a day) When I massage I feel slightly less in my right breast but like I mentioned, I'm not massaging or anything intense like usual, so the plumpness I would usually see/feel from that isn't present. Of course I'm going to continue taking the iodine/borage oil  and just seeing if its actually doing something, but it's hard to compare ATM when my chest looks and feels semi "deflated"
  

 

• I'm not seeing much improvement with size or growth in general with just shatavari and hops. I'm taking 4x of each everyday so far and will do so until day 12/13 of my cycle when I will cycle back to vitex and saw palmetto. If after this month or so I don't see much improvement, especially with massage + pumping...i may start looking into PM.
  

 

• I'm still on the fence/searching for goats rue that might work, if I can't find that, then maybe trying to see if Damania will help, as I've also wanted to take that for other health stuff as well.

I was away from home for a week or so, I kept taking my herbs/sups everyday, using 1-2 pump of PC once a day. I managed to sneak a couple times and have some time alone to massage and pump for 20 mins. Not as often as I was when I'm at home obviously, but it's something.

I will probably be home for a bit but trying to work out a pumping schedule with my life plans + work has been a bit tedious. So i will be starting with the electric pump today and trying to get in 4hrs, I will probably be splitting it up into 2hr segments. 

I've already found that I will definitely need to but a XL sport bra or maternity bra or something stretchy but supportive to help hold the dome in place as It is pretty heavy.

I am going to make a separate log for this pump to make it easier to track/organize and have all the info for the specifics for the pump in one place. Will of course do brief updates here, but all the main info for continuity sake in a separate thread.

NOTES:

• According to my calendar today is day 14 of my cycle so I will be cycling back to my luteal phase herbs + 3x PC.
  

• Throughout the last week while taking D 1-14 herbs (hops, shatavari) that I had random pains in my boobs. Sharp kind of stabbing pain, sometimes a bit uncomfortable. Which isn't unusual but it seemed to be within the hour of taking those that I noticed it which im not sure if its placebo or its working and doing something in my body? My size has not increased or decreased, I'm still measuring at 33 In my main bust measurements.
  

 

• I havent found anything decent for goats rue, so I may put that on the backburner and go back to taking maca for a bit to test and see if it helped. Back in Oct-Nov I was taking it and I saw a large amount of growth + some overall weight gain. This was a 10:1 maca (1000mg = to 10,000mg) + fenugreek (50mg = to 500mg) supplement. I've bought more of that, but I also bought maca separately, 4:1 (500mg = to 2000mg)
  Why?

1. To test it separate from FG to find out if it was the maca or the FG that caused the growth
   
2. To take it in a smaller dose as to not gain so much excess fat all at once, causing cellulite and fat on my stomach I don’t want.
   

 

• On top of that I've been working out a couple times a week, it will be easier to accomplish this when I'm home. I also bought a cheap corset and waist trainer to begin working on reducing my waist, something I've been wanting to do for awhile but couldn't afford it and was worried about starting it but I just said yolo might as well start now since doing all this other stuff too. Will track progress of my body measurements more in here as well to see if it actually helps.
