Getting ready to start cycle 2 of Pm tomorrow Yay! Starting with the cream. Biovea on the left boob, robust on the right. Almost all of my growing pains have been in my left boob, so I figure if those dont happen the biovea isnt working as well. I will be on it 4 days before I add pills. Of course the pains could have been from the pills too so that confuses it.
My carlsons MSM finally arrived last week so now I was able to go from 900/day to 3300. I also started drinking a LOT of milk. probably 5 or 6 small glasses a day. My reason is because milk raises IGF and lowers SHBG. I am sure my SHBG is high because of birth control. I am also eating a lot of protein (chicken mostly and other dairy) and very small amount of simple carbs. I do eat a good amount of fruit and veggies & spinach salads also as my body needs a fair amount of carbs. I feel like I need a little more protein still though and may add some protein powder.
My weakness/snack has been oatmeal raisin Luna bars & Chocolate mint cliff bars, but they have both soy and flaxseed in them with may not be super compatible to with my program. I really hope the amounts are insignificant enough not to matter because I dont want to give them up. This is about the only added sugar I am allowing myself per day, which is a lot better than the things I used to eat! I was still getting growing pains even though I ate about 1 a day.
I think I may have lost a little weight again in the last few days again from stress. This is really bad for NBE so I need to get this under control before this cycle. I noticed the headache that I had when taking the herbs has returned, and I realize now that it was a stress headache (behing the eyes) and not from the herbs or hormones. I also was feeling wierd again (which I thought was hormonal, but now maybe is from stress also, as I am not on anything at the moment (unless it is like a withrdrawl)
Interestingly though I figured by boobs were going to be super deflated during my period especially with losing weight again, but they look suprisingly normal, and I kind of felt like my left breast mostly seemed maybe a little fuller when I feel it with my sports bra on. I cant really see any difference in it, but I think there has been something happeneing with all those growing pains. Maybe its just wishfull thinking!
I'm a bit undecided on how much I am going to use the goats rue fenugreek with my massages, I will probably just play it by ear and not do them every day. I ended up kind of mixing it up last month and that seemed to work well, like it kept my body from getting too used to it or something.
