So an update. I stopped my program about a month ago. It was just too difficult to maintain as my mom doesn't like me taking pills and I had to spend so much time at home. Also I had so much stress with exams that I haven't really been consistent in taking my pills since about the 3rd month. Another problem was that I lost my DIM pills after moving out after the end of the semester and I think I was showing signs of estrogen dominance. I almost never break out and when I do it just 1-3 pimples here or there but I had this weird breakout all over my forehead in the month or so before I stopped my program. Also, my breasts would be sore for more than a week before I would have my period. I read that sore breasts are a sign of progesterone deficiency. Of course women usually experience breast tenderness a few days before menstruation as progesterone levels fall but I thought 8-9 days was too long to be experiencing tenderness. Imo, I think it was a sign of estrogen dominance. It seems that most women experience symptoms of estrogen dominance after taking a lot of BO.
I do think I've had a little permanent growth. I tried on a push up bra 2 weeks ago that I hadn't tried on in 4 months or so and it fit much differently. My mom has commented on my breasts looking bigger several times throughout my nbe process and she doesn't know what I'm taking the pills for. Even if the size hasn't changed, I definitely have more fullness on top and in the cleavage area. The change is slight but I can notice it and it makes me happy. However I've lost a bit of weight in the last few weeks so my breasts have shrunk a bit. My waist is down to 25.5".
As for future plans...I purchased 4.5 months of BB pills from lled34AA and will resume my program around December. My best friend is going to do a nbe program with me. I think this time I will definitely get a hormone test done first. I have a suspicion that I suffer from either estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency.
I'm just really stressed about school. I'm hoping to get into a top 10 physics program and even though my math grades are really good, my physics grades aren't the best so it's really what I'm focusing on now.
