There was something I somehow, despite all my ramblings, forgot to mention in my 2 week update. Just a few days after I started taking WU, I noticed there was an area on my chin that was really sore. I knew this meant that one of those big, deep, painful hormone pimples was forming. It took a while to get there, but sure enough that's what it was. At first I thought I'd let this one go before taking any type of anti-androgen, hoping it was just an initial reaction and wouldn't happen again. However, it didn't seem to want to go away. It was like it just kept filling and filling. So 2 days into my 3rd week (this last Saturday) I've started taking 1 Saw Palmetto capsule per day. I'm a little nervous about this as I really don't want the whole cellulite issue to develop. I've tried Stinging Nettle Root in the past but that did not agree with my stomach at all. I just couldn't tolerate it. I also bought some Maca caps when I bought the SP, but went with the SP first because it's more likely to help with BE too (as far as I know). I will probably start with the Maca at the beginning of my next cycle. I want to get a good idea of what the SP is going to do for me.
It could be total coincidence, but the deep pimple I had is completely gone now. Also, the painful little pustule I had above it that's been there for about a month now and didn't seem to want to go away is also almost gone. I treated the two pretty heavily with some topical pimple cream for a few days but haven't for the last two because it didn't seem to be helping. So maybe that's just finally taken effect or maybe the SP is already helping?
As for how it's affected my boobies, I felt the most intense pains and aches and throbbing last night than I think I've ever felt before while doing NBE. It was insane. It actually kept me up for about an hour and a half. I didn't notice that the first night I took it, but the pains I did feel seemed deeper. Today I'm measuring 30 3/4" across and 30" above. So a 1/4" increase for both.
Unfortunately, it also gave me a very bad headache last night. This wasn't a hormone headache though, it was more of a headache from introducing a new subtance to my body. (I can tell the difference between the different headaches I get.) I'm hoping I adjust and it doesn't continue because it seems like it has some great potential for me.
I should also note that when I was 19, I noticed one whiskery chin hair. This is something that seems to happen to a lot of the women on my mom's side. It's strange because it'll grow for a few months, then stop for a few, over and over. It's never consistant. Once I started the BCPs, I noticed that it never grew. However, after I started taking WU, it began to grow again, but much more light in color and fine in texture. Odd. But it's another sign that I do need an anti-androgen.
