wow its been, a HOT minute since I've updated. been really busy the last month or so.
Feb 7
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 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, one earlier in the day and one at night before bed, just how my schedule works out.
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 and akward to hold in one place for long periods of time.
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.
Added 1000mg maca everyday for entire cycle.
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. Which isnt 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 equivalent to 10,000mg) + fenugreek (50mg equivalent 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 wait, 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, light as well start now Since im doing all this other stuff too. Will track progress of my body measurements more in here as well to see if it actually helps.
Feb 12
Finished first week/4 days of pumping with electric pump. Measuring post pump and 1 day after no pumping to see if I get any changes.
I will be leaving to my bfs for vday stuff in a couple days so I suspect I will go back to what I was measuring before but will make sure I try to at least massage once or twice a day while I'm not home and will continue with everything when I get back.
My corset and waist trainer came in and I've been using them on and off throughout the week, I really like this waist trainer and its def more comfy to wear than the corset. I can only really wear the corset for an hour but I know you have to build up a tolerance to it to be able to wear it consistently.
Bought 1 bottle of Ainterol PM + the PM X-R1 cream they sell to see if it can help with fullness on the top of my chest.
I will most likely be adding this to my routine when it comes in and cycling it.
Feb 18
I've not been at home since the 14. I also missed a full day of sups on the 14. (Was busy)
But have continued taking them since then.
I haven't had noticeable changes other then I fit well into one of my non pushup bras which I usually would have half a finger or so of gaping, but this time it was very little which made me feel super hopeful that this routine I'm on is actually helping.
I'm really dumb and forgot to pack manual hand pump with me while I'm not at home, so I've only been doing massage once a day for 20 mins or so. Continuing to take everything in my routine.
Still waiting for my ainterol to come in but my period is supposed to start in the next few days so I might have to wait till next cycle to incorporate it in.
Feb 23
Measurements:
Bust: 33.5 in
Upper: 32.25
Under: 29.75 in
Leaning bust: 34 in
Feb 25
So it's been about a month since starting my cycling routine I made and honestly, I'm loving it. I feel as if cycling is helping a lot more and I will say I think adding in the MACA back in is definitely helping.
The measurements I did were surprising to me as I've been away at my bf and unable to pump (I forgot manual pump at my house) and I still measured 33.5, considering I started at 32.5 I feel and see a difference. I don't exactly know how my under bust measurement became smaller? Not sure if it was bad measurement on my part or what?
I'm going to try and remember to take some progress photos at the end of the month to see if there actually is any visual changes.
Not much else to report on besides the fact I'm massaging and manual pumping when I'm not at home, and when I go home next week I will be putting in an many hours as I can with the electric pump before my birthday in a couple weeks which I know will be another busy week + not at home to use it.
I'm debating upping the MACA I have to see if creates a boost in growth.
Basically what I'm experiencing is overall appearance seems more full but wider, not much in projection. I'm hoping when my PM comes in and I start adding that into my cycling it creates more forward and top growth, which theoretically should start really adding on inches.
I know I said I wanted to get to a C and then changed it to D, but if this measurement (33.5) stays consistent I honestly might change my goal to a DD or even F. It depends on how much the top of my chest actually fills out, cause it may say I am a C cup now, but it definitely doesn't look like it because of how wide set and bottom heavy my chest is. Really hope PM helps with this and when I start taking it it adds multiple inches of actual tissue growth.

Started 4 days of pumping with electric pump again today. My birthday is this week so I will not be home for another or so week. SO I will be pumping extra with manual pump to try to make the most out of the 4 days I have to pump.
I'm not seeing much progress or change, so I honestly think I may up my dosage of hops, shatavari and MACA.
Hops, Shatavari from 4x a day to 6x a day
MACA from 2x a day to 4x a day
Iodine 1x a day to 2x
Still continuing to take PC 3x a day AFTR 14th and slowly taper over the 2 weeks and not take from Day 1(period) to day 13
Notes:
Recently actually sat and looked at a bra that fits calculator and Irish Bra Lady IG and found that the size/shape I had ideal in my mind did not match up with the measurements I was originally giving as a goal size. I thought I wanted a D (4 inch diffrence from band size) but what I actually wat is more like a FF to G. SO like 8-9 inch diffrence from band size.
Looking at the cup diffrence for my bands sized (30,32,34) was illuminating and made me realize that I needed to have way bigger goals and that why when I DID go up in size, i still felt like it was "small" ... because for my band size and my body frame it does look smaller......just another example of how media tricks us into thinking a DD is huge...when in reality a lot of DD we see are like...G or H :O
March 20
Have been home and using my pumps for the past 2 days. I kind of fell off with my sups for the last week cause I had ran out of some of them while not at home, so I took what I could.
Cycle is about to reset in a day and ngl, kinda mad that my ainterol isn't here.
It's been over a month now with no new notice, I've already send an email 2 separate times…I've basically just given up hope its going to come and kinda sad, but I ended up just buying Purafem (march 11) instead and praying that one will come. Though order says its on it's way and I have no tracking yet ):
Since neither of my PM are here I'm debating going back to taking maca + FG sups together to see if it helps with growth again or just makes me gain fat.
At this stage, I'm starting to lean towards needing to balance my androgens more than watch my estrogen. Not sure if I'd called it quite PCOS as Its not as severe but def some things that don’t seem normal, especially when seeing no growth. I'm already taking saw palmetto, nettle, milk thistle, licorice root and green tea, vitex and borage oil for androgens so i don't know if those are helping, if i need more or if im genuinely not seeing growth cause I'm not taking anything to support estrogen. In another little hurdle at the moment and I'm impatient to see it resolved cause i havent see any measurable bust growth in awhile.
Since adding the Maca back into my routine by its self, I noticed a SLIGHT perkiness, (it helps with libido a bit but TBH, i want MORE of that personally so I thik I'm going to use this maca till it runs out and buy a different more stronger brand) but not really anything notable for growth. I just measured myself right now and I still have the same measurements from feb 23, so almost an entire month with 0 growth. Hence why I'm eager to have my PM show up but might just have to use FG until it arrives. Thought finding high quality FG that ships to Canada quickly is super rough.
Notes:
I know updates are far and few between now, im basically following the same stack as I posted awhile ago, with a couple things added or increased, only future chnages will be adding back in fenugreek until PM comes in and then I will cycle the PM and find the right dosage for me to see growth. Keep massaging and pumping, rinse and repeat.
So hopefully the next updates I have I actually see some progress cause it's been many months now with 0 progress and I know some of it is attributed to not being home half of the month and having the privacy/ability to do a full electric pump session + not having the right supportive herbs to see gains with.
I still pump as much as I can everyday when I am home and try to be home at lest 4 days in a row, but that + work, I do have to space out my pumping schedule, its just the way my life works rn…and if that causes me to not see as quick gains then so be it…some progress is better than no progress imo
