I've had some changes happen in the last week that may put my NBE quest temporarily on hold. First, I started working again! And I'm working for my boyfriend's company, so that really helps me enjoy the job more. So far it's working out great. Second, my boyfriend surprised me last week by telling me that he'd like to have go in to get "un-fixed" much sooner than we had originally planned, and not only that but he doesn't want to wait the year or two that we had first talked about, and instead wants to begin trying right away. We've learned that it can sometimes take up to a year or longer for pregnancy to occur after a reversal, so odds are it wouldn't happen right away anyway. So I'm very excited about that, and naturally it made me have to re-think NBE.
I've had basically no results from NBE this time. I started pumping again in late June, did that for about two months along with hypnosis and gained 1/4", then started on internal NBE and have had no results since. Granted I've been all over the place with my programs because I had unwanted side effects with them and had to switch, but still, no lasting fullness or change in shape or anything. So I've decided that I'm going to stop NBE for now and go back on birth control (Beyaz). I know, that doesn't make sense if we might start trying for a baby here in a few/several months from now, but I want the quick boost in breast size for now, and love the way I felt on them. Plus it seems to be the best way I can tolerate the calcium and folate. I may decide to try PM again (wth BCPs) once Spring starts, and when Wahaika recommends beginning NBE programs. I might try it just for a month to see how it goes. Or I may just use a topical PM cream (thinking Ro-Bust) instead. I'm not sure, but I have time to think about it.
So for now anyway, my NBE program is over. If I was seeing any sort of results I would continue with it, but right now I don't see the point in continuing to spend the money and all the time on NBE if I'm going to have to stop soon anyway to try to get pregnant, at which time my boobs will become MUCH bigger on their own.
I would hate to spend all that time and money only to just start seeing results at the time I had to stop taking everything, and have it turn out that it was all a big waste. I'm unsure at this point as to whether or not any growth from NBE now would help me or hurt me after pregnancy? I suppose there would be the possibility of more sagging/empty skin, but it may also make it quicker to fill them back up with NBE after I was done nursing. 
Which is something I'm definitely going to do - go back to NBE just as soon as I can. I have a theory that the reason I responded so well to NBE when I first tried it almost 4 years ago was because it was much closer to the time that I stopped nursing my son. Now all this time has passed and my body just isn't in that mode anymore and it's not working as well. That's not to say it definitely couldn't work for me at all right now, but considering all the changes going on in my life I don't think it makes sense to continue.
I'd like to make a list of all the ways in which I have tolerated PM (specifically Ainterol) much better than the other methods so I can refer back to it when needed.
* NO ACNE. That in itself is amazing. I would get that sometimes on its own while not even on NBE, and other forms of NBE only seemed to make it worse. It hasn't happened once with PM.
* Very very few headaches, and the only ones I did experience were when I was trying to figure out my tolerance level for it, so it was kind of what I was wanting to happen. I needed my body to tell me that.
* The hair on my chin hasn't grown back once while on PM.
* This cycle has been the first in a long LONG time that I haven't had emotional/moody PMS. I've had some food cravings but nothing crazy, and I would take that any day over the moody stuff. It was REALLY bad sometimes, to the point where it would affect my relationship.
* More even moods in general.
* Cycles have stayed on track. The first was 25 days long, and the second one on a different brand on PM and hardly any cycling seems to be right on track. I can feel that I'm going to start any day now, and I'm day 26. My average is 28. So that should be just right. I also think I may still continue ovulating while taking PM.
* Slightly shorter periods.
* More frequent and severe soreness than with the other methods, but still no fullness or swelling.
* My body seems to have found the perfect balance of um... wetness "down there," which results in much better sex. It may sound crazy but it feels to me as if I've become tighter down there, which I didn't have a problem with to begin with. I can tell my boyfriend can feel the difference too, as he now doesn't "last" nearly as long and has to take little breaks here and there from stop himself from ... finishing too soon. Which is fine with me... it still lasts the perfect amount of time and it's flattering and makes me feel good that it feels that good for him. Plus I lot feel a lot more because I don't have all that extra lubrication. Sorry, I didn't mean to get too detailed with that.
Grrrrrrr.... Now I almost don't want to stop PM. hehe
That's it for now. I will still keep checking in to see how everyone is doing! And I will definitely start posting again when/if I begin NBE again within the next couple months. I wish you all the best of luck with your programs! So many of you are making great progress already. And a huge thanks again to everyone who has helped me on my journey, and whose knowledge, advice, and suggestions I will use again in the future!
