I'm going to journal here for reference. I'm a 36 year old female. I've birthed and breastfed 3 kids. I last breastfed 4 years ago. I'm 5'6" and 125 lbs. Measurements are currently 34-27-37. I was 35-27-37. I was massaging daily and taking PM. I stopped taking PM because my period only lasted 3 days. Odd for me, I'm always regular. Also slacked off on massaging. Guess that inch was just lovely swelling, now I'm down an inch. I swell more during the luteal phase when massaging, I'm currently in my follicular phase. I'd like to waist train too but can't spend the $ right now. If I can later I'll journal that too. I'll kinda keep track of my exercise too. I'm also considering a breast pump, not there yet. I do have some nipple cups. My areolas are tiny and one is slightly bigger. Not sure if the cups will have any effect. I'll let you know. I'd like them to puff out a bit.
Starting 2/8/2016 (when I have everything) I will likely start off with one or two herbs listed under follicular and luteal cycle days and add in as I go along. I already take all of the daily supps besides Reishi, with breaks here and there from all. Hops I have tried once and recall not liking it, can't remember why, so we'll see. Fenugreek I'll be monitoring closely for increase in acne. I'll stop if I see any.
This plan is still a work in progress. I will be adding supplement amounts and notes for myself on how/when/why to take.
