I wrote about my experience w/ the aquariam valve in the other thread, but I just wanted to add that my areola is def getting bigger lol. Getting lots of new stretchmarks too. I might pick up bio oil but the rest of me is covered in very old stretchmarks that at this point so I'm not even sure if it matters. I just really hope my areola is growing proportionally to the breast as it's hard to tell because of swelling. I like that it's getting bigger anyways though because it def played a role in my breast looking so underdeveloped. It was almost just a nipple before with just a very small amount of areola and the areola is a lot bigger. I like it though because I realize it makes my breast look a little better on its own. I am a little concerned that it might be growing faster than the actual boob, but I honestly won't know until they get closer to a similar size. Like it's still a small breast, but it makes it look more like a small breast and not like the breast of someone who is just starting puberty and is barely developed. Part of me insecurity that comes from them is not just that they are obviously different sizes but you can tell that the small breast is underdeveloped. 

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing though because my breast is responding really well to it. Hopefully it's real growth and continues but I'm 3.5 weeks in and I've never seen my breast look this different so I really feel hopeful that this is the method that is going to "awaken it" lol. It obviously can't all be real growth but this is a good sign that I'll get there in time and that I just need to be patient and keep putting in those 7 hours every day. Friday will be the real test though (when I have an appt) to see what my breast looks like after 24 hours of not pumping and missing my morning session.
