I thought I should mention a random change I’ve noticed. When I first started this program, my breasts would always become cold after a few minutes of pumping and they would still be cold when I took the domes off in the morning, especially the nipples. They weren’t so cold that I was concerned for my health, but it was very noticeable. That also used to happen years ago when I pumped at higher pressures. After a few days of sleep pumping they have started to feel much warmer while pumping, and now after two weeks, they seem to be at a normal body temperature when I wake up in the morning. I always assumed that the cold feeling I got during pumping was due to poor circulation in the breast . I know high pressure pumping can damage circulation in the breast, but Brava claimed that low pressure pumping improves blood flow to the breasts by increasing the number of blood vessels. The original purpose of the Brava was to increase the number of blood vessels to support a fat graft so that fewer fat cells would die from lack of blood flow. I think that the constant low negative pressure really is improving the blood flow to my breasts, and as the blood flow improves so is the swelling. Back when I only did higher pressure pumping, the poor blood flow never improved, my breasts were always cold while pumping, and I never got much swelling no matter what method I tried. I don’t know if the change in temperature is really that important or not, but for now I consider it a very good sign.
