Long time no post. Double majoring is fun!
Other than some random NBing, I haven't really been keeping up with NBE. Busy, busy. I did dive into the forums a bit more, in addition to looking over my previous experience. Changed my program up a bit again and will stick with this one for at least five cycles, though I may switch from saw palmetto to whole flax seed once my supply runs out.
Cycle 1
July 01, 2012 - July 30, 2012
Starting measurement: ??? Around 32.5”. Forgot to check, and I never did like the tape measure.
Supplements
Multivitamin
Biotin(1,000mcg/cap)
MSM(1,500mg/tab)
Fish oil (I know)
Other herbs
Taken around bedtime
Passionflower(350mg/cap)
Valerian (200mg/cap)
Melatonin(5mg/tab)
NBE herbs/creams/other
Pueraria mirifica (Ainterol, 500mg/cap)
Saw palmetto berry (550mg/cap)
Fennel (480mg/cap)
Spearmint+black tea in the afternoon (if I felt sleepy)
Progesterone cream
Noogleberry
Days 01-20
1 capsule PM in the morning 30 minutes before breakfast. Breast massage for 3-5 minutes.
Supplements and saw palmetto (ramped up to 1,100mg) at breakfast.
Saw palmetto (ramped up to 1,100mg) 30 minutes before dinner.
Breast massage for 3-5 minutes and Noogle for 30 minutes at night.
Noted symptoms of estrogen dominance. Dropped PM for remaining cycle.
Days 21-30
Saw palmetto 30 minutes before breakfast. Breast massage for 3-5 minutes.
Another 550mg of saw palmetto in the afternoon, if I didn’t have the tea.
Saw palmetto and fennel (ramped up to 960mg) 30 minutes before dinner.
Sometimes used the PC cream, but never a full pump and only every few days. I wanna say about ⅓ - ½ a pump, and divided the cream between each breast.
Breast massage for 3-5 minutes and Noogle for 30 minutes at night.
Decided to be more progesterone focused than I used to be based on my previous blips with NBE, and because I also started taking my BBT on day 21 and felt that my temperature was much too low.
Noted a lot of swelling and tingles here (21-30). Even friends noticed the swelling, and I definitely fill my cup more. Haven’t completely pinned down the main contributor yet. It’s either the progesterone based stuff, giving the saw palmetto a chance again for high testosterone (and at a higher dose) and/or NB.
I may lower the usual dose of PM to 250mg; I think 500mg may be too high. I think I'll also adopt taking a five day break during my period, like in Doll's program.
