I'm cutting out the pituitary and extra BO capsule today. For the past couple days my stomach has been... what's the word... gurgley? and slightly bloated, and I've had the "bathroom issues" I was worried about getting before. I'll stop taking both for now until I start feeling back to normal and then I will add the pituitary back in and see how I feel. Trying to figure out which one is causing it. I know I experienced some cramping after I took the first Swanson's BO on Wednesday but I had the bathroom problem for the first time Wednesday morning, before I had even taken the BO and was only on the pituitary at that time. There's a small chance it could be a stomach bug as that's kind of going around right now, but it seems more likely it's one of the supplements. It's odd how UB never caused any stomach problems for me, yet Swanson's doesn't seem to agree with me. 
I've been feeling a little discouraged the last couple days. I'm concerned about the acne issue and I'm afraid of having to take an anti-androgen because I don't seem to react well to them. I'm considering starting up SP now because I don't want to deal with the breakouts again before my next period (if that even keeps it under control). My pimple just does not seem to want to completely go away and it's annoying the heck out of me. I've been keeping my face clean and putting my usual topical pimple gel on it but it doesn't seem to be helping. Even one of the larger, more painful ones I get would normally be gone by now.
I'm also a little worried that I don't seem to be feeling as much this cycle. I thought it would only get stronger this month but so far it doesn't seem as promising as my last cycle. I'm definitely going to keep going on it; I'm just feeling a little down.
The good news is that I'm still measuring 30 1/2" across my bust so it seems that I'm going to keep the 1/4" increase.
So that's something to be happy about!
ETA: I'm feeling even more discouraged now. My period doesn't seem to want to stop. I keep thinking it's over but then it starts back up again. Also, the pimple on my chin filled up again today and I've had to pop it yet again. It's like my hormones are continually feeding it and it's just not going to go away. If the whole acne thing doesn't improve or gets worse I may have to give up BO. I just don't think I'm willing to deal with constant acne in an effort to gain boobs. (Although I'm sure if I was getting amazing, fast results I'd be thinking differently!
) I'm going to add Flaxseed Oil back in since it's something that Wahaika recommends to keep acne at bay with herbal programs. Not sure if it will have the same effect with BO but it's worth a try. Looking back on my program, I stopped taking FSO a few days before the pimple appeared so maybe there's a connection there. I'll give that a few days if there's no change, I'll add SP.
