I'm sorry to hear about you two gals' decision on breast implants. :/ sorry NBE didn't work for you gals. I do have my opinions on breast implants, it's the same as yours with NBE. It may have been fine for your friend for now... but your body may not react the same way. BTW I disagree about the whole pumping makes them saggy, it did the opposite for mine as well as others on the Noogleberry forum. I never tried Brava so I have no clue about the effects of that long of a pumping session everyday. I just pumped for 30 min up to 2 hours, whatever I had time for, for a while. I haven't pumped in a long time, I rarely do it now, I do it here and there cause I'm kinda curious if I can get another cup size, but eh, I'm happy with the size I have now. Just curious. I never personally experienced any type of unusual weight gain while on BO nor cramping, but like you said everyone is different. As far as the sagging with pumping, it may also be that I do continue to massage my breasts daily... it's shown to prevent breast cancer and it helps keep the nice round shape and firmness from my experience, so I don't mind doing it. I also continue to do my chest exercises. But as far as pumping, BO, etc. I have taken very long breaks from it and never lost my on my chest. And I know the increase in bra size was NOT from weight gain because I didn't gain more weight, I think my butt got slightly bigger, in a good way, but that was about it. My band size (rib cage measurement) is the same as it was when I first started NBE. I still wear the same size pants, now shirts I had to go up one size because of boobs being increased, but I find myself having to get dress clothes altered because they fit perfect on the breasts, but loose elsewhere.
Maybe possibly, I didn't have the cramps because I've never really had period cramps? Even during puberty I never really had them, if I did they were very slight, but I do have a high pain tolerance. So maybe you gals are experiencing cramps because maybe that's what happened during puberty? Just a guess on my part. Now as far as the weight gain for you glitterbunny, perhaps the BO was the wrong type of hormones for you, I gained weight while on individual herbs, when I tried creating a program with those, I gain like 15 pounds, that was the only type of NBE I gained weight on though. So it sounds to me like your hormones are imbalanced and the type of NBE you are trying makes it overloaded of certain hormones, thus weight gain is a result.
I understand your frustration, believe me, if anyone here can understand it's me. I spent years hating my body, I tried things in the beginning of my NBE journey that didn't work and I got discouraged also. I too considered implants, yes I'll admit it. But then I did my research. I BEG you, before you make that life changing decision do your research at least. I'm not telling you to make the same decision I made. Just make an informed decision. It's ultimately your body and your decision, and whichever decision you make, make sure it's for you and you alone and that you are completely happy with it. Implants are not reversible, remember that. Once you have them, if you end up hating them, you are stuck. I have talked to so many ex-implantees over the years in my journey to know what torture they go through with making the wrong decision for themselves.
I have talked to many women with implants, that looked natural and all... that hated them after the fact. Why? Because of many reasons. They went too big, they don't feel natural (no matter what you get, they will never feel like natural breasts, not my opinion, it's fact). I talked to a woman that said it feels like she has oranges in her chest, and she didn't go too big. She said she hates the way they feel, and so does her husband. But she can't go back now.
Also, there is the risk that your body will reject them and you will become very sick. I don't have the link anymore... but there is a blog a lady wrote that got implants at 19, she is in her early 20's now. So she got them in the 2000's not the 90's. Her body had a very bad reaction to the implants, she got saline implants, BUT remember, they are cased in silicone! Her body rejected the silicone, she became fatally sick. She had no choice but to take them out, now she is stuck with empty saggy breasts for life because of one bad mistake. And she tells how she did her research and found a good doctor that had many happy patients. I'm just warning you, that like what you are saying about NBE, can be even worse if your body doesn't react well to implants.
But if you do get implants, from my own research and seeing and talking to many women with them, get under the muscle implants. They look more natural than above muscle ones. They also say they have a less chance of bursting due to sudden impact to the chest, if that were to happen, because the muscle protects them. Also keep in mind, once you get implants you will have to have surgery to replace them every 10 years, they have expiration dates. You also have to massage your breasts while you have them to make sure they stay in the right place. Another thing to keep in mind that you will have to do even while recovering and in pain.
Of course, I know you probably won't take everything I'm saying to heart because I'm one of the only few people you think can have results from NBE. But I do hope you take my main points to heart about researching. Like I said, it's your body, and I hope you make the right decision for you. Have you gals looked into the injections or only going for implants?
