Ran out of collagen yesterday (only took 1) and will buy more tomorrow. I think I will up that from taking 3 per day, to taking 6. Lots of ladies have said they noticed a big increase in aches and pains when they did that.
Bought some Vitamin C with Rose Hips (I hope that's okay to use) and have started out taking 1 tablet (1000mg) after each MSM I take, so that's a total of 3000mg per day. I don't know if that's considered a lot just for NBE (or maybe not enough?) but my immune system could use the boost anyway, especially at this time of year.
Yesterday I went to one of the department stores here to check out a sale they were having. I figured I might as well try on some bras just to see what I could fit into and what I couldn't. It was fairly depressing.
I tried an unpadded, molded cup 32A that I had gaps in the cups with. But then I tried a 32B of the Maidenform bra that's supposed to be knock-off of the VS Miraculous bra (adds 2 cup sizes) and I actually fit into that one better than the 32As of the Target knock-off I have now. So that made me feel slightly better. I suppose it doesn't really matter. I know I haven't had any drastic increases in size or fullness so I wasn't trying them on expecting any miracles!
I've realized just how much "fullness" counts with overall breast size. When I was taking BCPs and was spilling out of my bras in the second half of my cycle, I was still only measuring 30" across my bust but was very full and more firm. Now I'm measuring between 30 1/4" and 30 1/2" (it's fluctuating now) yet I feel like I'm smaller than I've ever been. Wider, but flatter, if that makes sense. I just keep telling myself my breasts are just in the reshaping stage and eventually I will experience outward growth.
I did something kind of naughty yesterday and ordered a bottle of Swanson's BO in case I do decide to add 1 capsule in. I know it's kind of early to be doing that since I've only been on WU for one cycle, but I'm concerned about the fact that my growing signs seem to nearly completely disappear the closer I get to my period, which is the opposite of what should be happening. It seems that everyone else's signs dramatically increase at that time but mine are just gone. The last 3 or 4 days I've been feeling about a 2/10, compared to the solid 7/10 (at least) I felt in the earlier parts of my cycle. And no soreness at all. I can't figure it out!
So far today I'd say I'm at about a 2/10. Yesterday I would give a 0.5/10.
