Status: currently noogling 
Two nights ago, I drank my usual mixture of fenugreek, saw palmetto, and red clover before going to bed and within ten minutes I started feeling aches in both breasts. I was soooo happy omgee! Seriously because I HARDLY EVER get any aches and pains and this one was directly on my breasts so I KNOW my program is working. Yesterday as well after the morning routine, I was driving and I kept feeling tingles, although slight, in my breasts and nipples. I'm quite happy with my program so far.
In terms of massaging with the extracts, I'm not for sure if that's really doing anything for me. I recently added lavender oil to the mix and haven't noticed any changes i.e. aches/pains (I merit the drink mixture to that instead). This morning, I randomly decided to use a pill called Fish, Flax, Borage (1200mg) by Nature's Bounty, to massage. It's been laying in my pills basket for a while now so I thought why not. I bust open one liquid gel and mixed it with lotion and lavender oil, and massaged. We'll see how that goes because I want to mainly use my extracts internally so I need a substitute for the externals.
By next week, I think I might increase the dosage of each extract I use by adding 14 more drops of each so I'll be taking 1500mg of each instead of 1000mg and see how that goes. I'll probably only increase it at night and keep the morning dosage the same at 1000mg each.
I'm still drinking my fenugreek and fennel tea each morning. I've fallen into a great and easy routine of drinking the extracts and the tea in the morning. If only I could keep it up at night. It's just that my schedule is so busy that I'm ridiculously tired at night so more than half the time I forget to take my mixture and pills. I'll do better next week
I'm so glad I switched to drinking extracts instead of the pills because it's sooo much easier! I HATE swallowing pills and I was swallowing entirely too many then! Now all I swallow is six pills total (3 in the morning and 3 at night) which is just perfect! And I'm someone who has to take pills with juice because I can't stand to drink water with pills. Back then I was drinking so much juice just to take all those pills, which was not good for me. Now all I really need is less than half a cup. And sometimes I take the pills with my tea in the morning. So the rest of the day I can just drink water
With noogling, it takes five minutes or less to fill my medium cups. Then the CL domes, I have to pump each breasts for about 10-15 minutes to fill it. Then with the swelling, try to get the two cups on at the same time and leave that on and pump for at least 30-45 minutes to another hour if I can take it. The longer I pump with the CL domes, the longer my swelling lasts.
***I always massage for 5-10 minutes before noogling now
***still trying my hardest to drink a lot of water each day
***my skin seems to have improved since this new regimen. I don't get acne as much as I used to now, which is surprising because my acne is usually worst and belligerent in the summertime but this summer has been easy breezy (who knows though? Maybe it's due to less stress?? I dunno)
Anywho, I'm really hopeful about NBE this time around
