I am just wondering how many of us are doing BO?
I know that Monkey, Dory and Baby are on it, but is there anyone else? It seems the PM forum is bumping! While the BO forum is kind of dead. I would like for the BO people to share their experiences.
Happy growing!

I used bb for 60 days and still taking them. i also took:
1 Gaba 500 mg (for growth hormone)
1 Royal Jelly 1000 mg + 1 Selenium 200 mcg + Zinc 50 mg (for low thyroid)
took 2 kelp (150 mcg each) and 2 L-Tyrosine (500 mg each) as Bountiful Breast told me to do for low temprature
took nearly 70 grams of Protien (shakes, food, milk)
on my 1st month i didnt massage at all,. grew 1/2" .. but on my 1st month i also took saw palmetto 3 pills (for excess androgen)but it made me gain weight!! from 110 lb to 120 lb in 1 month!! i removed that from my program and tried to lose weight
the seconed month i concentrated on losing those extra pounds i got + i massaged my breasts with Phytoestrogenic cream 3 times daily 360 inward rotations. i didnt grow anything this time but lost weight (now im 116 lb) and kept my 1/2" growth. but i felt that the phytoestrogenic cream didnt work well with BO so i stopped massaging. i just got a suction device (bosom beauty 2012) but still not sure if it will work good for me im still new to that. i am impatient cuz im getting married in 6 months and i wana look fab in my wedding dress and pix!!
oh and im planning to take maca root pills to enhance my butt too
good luck everyone

Dory,
Thanks so much for responding, I have been waiting a while for someone to respond. Since you stopped massaging have you been growing? I also stopped with the phytoestrogen cream as it was making my smaller breast even smaller. I have just been massaging with firming lotion and I appear to be getting fuller! It has only been 3 weeks, but I can notice some filling up of my breasts.
I am sure will grow very well in 6 months and look wonderful in your wedding dress. I think the main thing is to be consistent. Perhaps once you have stopped with the phytoestrogen cream you may go back to experiencing 1/2 inch growth per month. I knew it was slowing me down too because the breast I wasn't massaging was getting bigger and the one I was massaging was getting smaller.
Try not to loose your weight too fast or else your breast will go too. Also, I try not to do too much cardio at the gym because I don't want to burn the fat in my breasts.
How many months supply did you buy from BB? I had gained some weight on herbs, which I am trying to loose slowly. Probably another couple of pounds.
How many grams of protein shake do you take? I am planning to take ultra breast and they said that I should be taking 100 grams a day in the form of a protein shake. I just wanted to know how much you were taking because you seemed to grow pretty well. Although, you are taking BB and I am taking Generic.
Why do you take Selenium and Royal jelly? Are they supposed to help with NBE while on BO? If I could consistently experience 1/2 inch a month I would be the happiest girl alive!
Thanks for your input, Sorry about the long novel

i just stopped massaging from nearly 3 days. i felt i miss doing this as i've been doing it 3 times daily 360 inward rotations last month. i didnt notice any growth yet. but i begun to moisten my breasts with Strech marrk Lotion (palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion) to prevent stretch mark cause the suction device i just got is (a monster) :'( too strong and painful.
i am rilly not sure if i stopped growing this month cuz of the phytoestrogenic cream of because i lost weight, im not trying to do it fast, but i rilly freaked out when i knew i gained those pounds (in 1 month)!! so i stopped eating carbs and was counting my calories and ofcors, removed saw palmetto from my program as many ladies here have reported that it cause horrible weight gain/ to be honest, i prefer to be flat chested than being fat with large boobs.
i have bought the 13.5 months supply of bountiful breast. and (on my first month) i was taking nearly 90 grams of protien daily, but thats not good, i think that helped me gain weight along with the saw palmetto, an averege woman should not take more than 50 grams of protien daily, we (as growing girls) since we are doing nbe, should take between 50 - 60 grams daily, body builders are taking 120 - 150 grams of protien daily to gain muscles!! we dont want that
we just need to grrrrow some stuff 
so i suggest u not to take more than 70 grams of protien daily, if u notice next month that u gained a lil pounds, descrease to 60 grams and that would be perfect.
how much you are taking generic BO every day?
oh. and about ultra breast, i dont believe its good because it contains (isoflavones) which is taken from SOY, and thats dangerous, as i read many article regarding that.
I'm taking Royal Jelly, Zinc and Selenium for Slow Thyroid function
these supplements are not NBE tools and wont grow breasts but i have slow thyroid problems and that stops my body from naturally producing Thyroid hormone which is very important hormones all related to breast growth, i suggest anyone having problems in their thyroid (after taking permission from their doctors) to use these supplements beside Thyroxine. very helpful. and keeps me active all the time.
im planning (after clearing my schedual to use these for nbe:
-Bountiful Breast 2 pills daily as suggested by bb + 2 kelp 150 mcg each + 2 L-Tyrosine 500 mg each
-Hypnosis Mp3 files: 1/2 hours twice daily
-Bosom Beauty 2012 Suction Device: 1 hour twice daily
i know this sounds alot and if i get any growth i would never know wether its the Hypnosis that helped me grow or bb or bosom beauty but anyways i dont have time to test every method at a time lol so im doing it all together and i dont care i'll do whatever it takes , on my wedding day: I WILL BE SEXY AND I WILL HAVE THE BOOBS!!!!
Best Boobie Wished, all of u <3

isoflavones are not just dangerous, it damages your thyroid function and ofocrs, affects breast growth, atleast thats what bountiful breast told us not to do and also not to use Flourided tooth pastes cause that also damages thyroid, i suggest u if u have the time to test ur thyroid, if its slow, your breast will stil grow, but rilly slow i hope you dont have this problem.

Hey Dory, just wanted to point out a couple things. First and foremost, extra protein will only ever cause a weight gain if you're eating it in *addition* to all the other food and beverages you were eating before. The key to adding additional protein is to swap it in the place of something else so that you to maintain the same calorie intake.
In the end, calories are the only thing that make you gain or lose weight. Take in more calories than you expend and you gain, no matter what form you took them in as. I'm on a maint. plan after a 40 lbs weight loss and my average intake of protein is 60 - 90 g per day. I often get 100+ g now and while I was losing weight because I was building, and now need to maintain, muscle mass during the process. So don't shy away from protein as it may be very beneficial to your growth. Just use it in the proper manner as with any other substance.

Glad to help. However, it's not so much that it helps to lose weight, but that it takes your body longer to process so it tends to keep you from eating as much or as often. Just remember that if you drink, for example, a 100 calorie protein shake, you need to cut out something else that you would have eaten that has about 100 calories. So skip a cookie, or a piece of bread, etc. for each shake you add daily.

Boo Boo,
So you think taking 100 grams of protein a day is ok? Why are you taking so much protein? Are you a body builder? Are you taking BO? I would love to take as close to 100 grams of protein as possible. I only take 16-32 grams daily, and on a good day perhaps 48 grams. I don't think I have gained any weight by taking the protein shakes but, I do workout 2-3 times a week and I try to take my shake after my workout. However, I did gain weight on herbs which I am trying to lose which is why I workout so much now. I try to keep my cardio to a minimum though as I DO NOT want to burn the little fat away that I have in my breasts!
Thank guys for your responses.

Yes, 100 g is perfectly healthy, so long as your body can use it. Any excess is merely excreted through urine, not maintained by the body. No, I am not a body builder. lol However, while losing weight, most women lose a min. of 25% of it as muscle, which is the opposite of what you want to do (build and maintain new muscle while losing fat). I was doing regular strength training sessions, plus some pretty heavy cardio. I had no trouble using every bit of protein I gave my body.
When you say you "take" 16-32 grams of protein per day, do you mean total or that you add in addition to your normal eating? If it's total, that's very low and I would definitely suggest getting it into the 50+ range just for health reasons.
The protein I get now is just due to my regular eating habits. Considering the fact that a decent sized steak can have upward of 50 g of protein, it's not as hard as you might imagine. Most people don't even realize just how much of everything they get (or don't get) each day. I know only because I still log my foods to keep my calories in check.
Lastly, I just started taking PO this week.

I take 16-32 grams of protein in a shake form. I do get more protein from my diet which has always been naturally high in protein. I have not been counting my protein intake, maybe I should start. The thing is, that Ultrabreast said I should take 100 grams of protein in a shake form. I meant to ask you if it is ok to take 100 grams of protein in the form of protein shake, not food. Why did you choose PO instead of BO? How long ago did you start and are you seeing any results? I seen on one post that PO is supposed to be weaker than BO, so that is why I am asking. Another lady said on the bountifulbreast site that our bodies can only absorb/digest 25 grams of protein at a time, do you know anything about this?
I am also trying to lose some weight, but mostly tone EVERYTHING!
Thank you BooBoo.

My guess is that they give you such a high figure just to be on the safe side. No one outside of body builders need THAT much protein on top of a decent diet. However, as I said, as long as it's within reason, it's safe. So you're better off getting too much than too little, in this case. And yes, 25 - 30 g is about the most we can extract at any given time. The rest is excreted without being processed. So it's important to make sure your protein sources are spaced well throughout the day.
I chose PO due to the lower cost, ease, and the least amount of side effects. There's just no way I can make myself take the 9 - 16 pills per day that the lower dose BO pills would require. Also, I've noticed that most of the people that have made the assumption that PO is "weaker" than BO have done so because they did not have such dramatic reactions to it, i.e. little to no fogginess, mood swings, growing pains, etc. However, they have still gotten results. My guess is that this is actually related to the fact that we are physiologically closer to the pig than we are to cows and that this allows for better metabolizing.
Really, it's all just theory and I figure what's the worst that can happen? Nothing. lol I'm also using Brava domes at the same time, so I am not really going for the scientific approach here. In the end, I don't care which one works, so long as something does. lol I just started the PO on Wed. so no results yet (don't I wish lol)
Lastly, weight loss and toning are very different endeavors, though they go best together. If you're trying to lose weight, definitely start keeping track of calories, though be sure not to cut too much as you're trying to grow in other areas. For toning, I'd suggest exercise bands. They are cheap, versatile, and provide a great overall toning workout.

Hi everyone
Just thougth I'd chime in here. As far as weight loss/gain goes, for me, it's carbs that are the enemy... not protein. I gained a lot of weight last year on herbs (and being lazy about diet) and have managed to lose 30 lbs on a high protein, high fat, very low carb diet. This also seems to work well with the BO for breast growth (Fawn said this too, in an old post). I'd still like to lose another 10 lbs or so.
I'm definitely seeing results with growth-- I'm really filling out my bras now (they were loose after the weight loss), and today the difference is noticeable to the eye, too. I didn't take pics, and now I wish I had, because you really, honestly can see a difference. Not a huge difference, but I've only been on this 6 weeks. I'm also in the luteal phase, so some of this is swelling I think. Still, last month I did keep growth even after my period.
I am getting some side effects, though.... headaches, and also fatigue and generally not feeling well. I don't know if they are related or not, but at least the headaches correspond exactly to when I started taking the product.
I think I'm going to take this until my supply runs out (I have 3 more months) and then hope I maintain what I've gained. I do worry about messing around too much with hormones in terms of health.

Thanks BooBoo and Monkey for your posts.
At 6 weeks to notice results is still pretty good. I have not seen results that fast with anything that I was taking. So, I'm guessing that if you take more protein then you will see better results? I do think I should up my protein shakes but I don't have the time to take it so many times a day, since the doses should be spread out.
I am going to take PM for now until I can order some more BO because, my order never came from amazon and I already had like a 2 year supply of PM just sitting here. I figure I might as well use what I have before I buy anymore. I will be taking PM days 1-14 and then progesterone cream days 15-28. I am thinking of doing PM for 6 months then BO for 6 months and then back to PM for 6 months.
I do feel a little bit more filled out from taking BO but I had only been taking it for 3 weeks, expecting to continue on utrabreast.
Please keep posting your results so I can know what to expect when I start taking BO again.
Good luck to you all, Mariah

Well, no more real progress to report at this point, but I'm in that premenstrual state where I can't really tell anything. Most of the side effects are getting less severe at this point, but I do still get acne premenstrually.
Definitely not causing weight gain, though, and that is a big plus! I'm still losing weight, actually, and that also makes it really hard to tell what's what with breast size, but I can say for sure that I'm not losing any breast, so that's good!

My guess is that this is actually related to the fact that we are physiologically closer to the pig than we are to cows and that this allows for better metabolizing.
Really, it's all just theory and I figure what's the worst that can happen? Nothing. lol I'm also using Brava domes at the same time, so I am not really going for the scientific approach here. In the end, I don't care which one works, so long as something does. lol I just started the PO on Wed. so no results yet (don't I wish lol)
Lastly, weight loss and toning are very different endeavors, though they go best together. If you're trying to lose weight, definitely start keeping track of calories, though be sure not to cut too much as you're trying to grow in other areas. For toning, I'd suggest exercise bands. They are cheap, versatile, and provide a great overall toning workout.

Hi everyone
Just thougth I'd chime in here. As far as weight loss/gain goes, for me, it's carbs that are the enemy... not protein. I gained a lot of weight last year on herbs (and being lazy about diet) and have managed to lose 30 lbs on a high protein, high fat, very low carb diet. This also seems to work well with the BO for breast growth (Fawn said this too, in an old post). I'd still like to lose another 10 lbs or so.
I'm definitely seeing results with growth-- I'm really filling out my bras now (they were loose after the weight loss), and today the difference is noticeable to the eye, too. I didn't take pics, and now I wish I had, because you really, honestly can see a difference. Not a huge difference, but I've only been on this 6 weeks. I'm also in the luteal phase, so some of this is swelling I think. Still, last month I did keep growth even after my period.
I am getting some side effects, though.... headaches, and also fatigue and generally not feeling well. I don't know if they are related or not, but at least the headaches correspond exactly to when I started taking the product.
I think I'm going to take this until my supply runs out (I have 3 more months) and then hope I maintain what I've gained. I do worry about messing around too much with hormones in terms of health.

Thanks BooBoo and Monkey for your posts.
At 6 weeks to notice results is still pretty good. I have not seen results that fast with anything that I was taking. So, I'm guessing that if you take more protein then you will see better results? I do think I should up my protein shakes but I don't have the time to take it so many times a day, since the doses should be spread out.
I am going to take PM for now until I can order some more BO because, my order never came from amazon and I already had like a 2 year supply of PM just sitting here. I figure I might as well use what I have before I buy anymore. I will be taking PM days 1-14 and then progesterone cream days 15-28. I am thinking of doing PM for 6 months then BO for 6 months and then back to PM for 6 months.
I do feel a little bit more filled out from taking BO but I had only been taking it for 3 weeks, expecting to continue on utrabreast.
Please keep posting your results so I can know what to expect when I start taking BO again.
Good luck to you all, Mariah

Well, no more real progress to report at this point, but I'm in that premenstrual state where I can't really tell anything. Most of the side effects are getting less severe at this point, but I do still get acne premenstrually.
Definitely not causing weight gain, though, and that is a big plus! I'm still losing weight, actually, and that also makes it really hard to tell what's what with breast size, but I can say for sure that I'm not losing any breast, so that's good!
