I have thought about experimenting with higher pressures, but I am a little nervous because an EveBra nurse I spoke with mentioned that the pump is set to 20 mmHg because higher pressures compress the capillaries supplying blood to the skin and can cause tissue damage. When I airlock the bra (which I do during the daytime), I do suck out extra air, but nothing extreme. I have also heard rumor on this forum when I was reading through the archives that pumping with too much pressure can cause a reduction in breast tissue (maybe these pressures are nowhere near high enough to do so, but I don't have any extra tissue to lose!).

But I really am at a loss because I have absolutely no remaining swelling when I put the bra back on. I had to drop down to 14 hour sessions this week due to my schedule, and it is clear that I have not gained anything yet. On the EveBra website, they state: "You will not progress unless some residual swelling still remains when you re-apply it the next day, such that day after day there is a slow gradual accumulation." It made me wonder... how did women used to get results with BRAVA, wearing the device for only 10 hours and only 10 weeks? And if I had been planning on wearing EvaBra for 4 months, I would be just a few days from my supposed halfway point, and that's when I should be seeing the size I'll end up with when I'm ready to put the domes back on.

I was really hoping that I would see an indication that this is working by now, especially after all these nights of poor sleep and the persistent sores under my armpit. I'm not sure if this means I should give up or if it means I should plan for 6+ months of wear...
