UPDATE:
It’s been a month since I stopped pumping and started my PM program. I’m actually really happy that it seemed to go by so quickly. I used to be so much more impatient and frustrated by the process. I normally would have measured a hundred times by now, but this time I had no problem waiting a month. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ve grown or swollen at all, but I’m not surprised.
One thing I noticed is that when I apply the progesterone cream directly to my breasts I get occasional sharp pains, especially if I apply it to my breasts 2 or 3 days in a row. I’ve been rotating application sites because that’s what’s typically recommended, but I think that might not actually be ideal for nbe. I’m going to try applying it only to my breasts from now on and see if the pains increase.
I also want to try making a PM cream. I use liquid pm extract orally but I bought PM powder capsules from the same company to make a rubbing alcohol based extract. The pills already a contain a concentrated extract, but I assume I still need to let them soak in rubbing alcohol for at least a month to make a proper “liniment” (a topical extract). I bought a transdermal cream intended to be used by pharmacists as a base for topical hormone creams. My plan is to rub the alcohol liniment into my skin and then follow that up with the transdermal base cream. I don’t want to risk possibly ruining the formula of the transdermal base by mixing the liniment directly into the base cream. I might throw the pm powder in the rubbing alcohol and start using it right away without letting it steep for a month. It’s possible it’ll just be a waste of time and PM until whats left in the jar has been steeping for a few weeks. I’m tempted to try it anyway, because some people seem to get good results by rubbing herbs on their breasts without trying to make a proper liniment at all. Actually most people on this forum who’ve had some good results from topical herbs didn’t bother to make any sort of extract or liniment. Some did, but most don’t.
The only problem with this plan is that the Amata Life brand PM smells HORRIBLE. Much, much worse than Ainterol or the Japanese PM that I used for short amount of time years ago. It smells so bad that the smell somehow seeped out of the closed bottle and “infected” my entire dresser. It smells like a mouse died in there, or maybe more accurately, like a drawer full of rotten vegetables. Hopefully that’s what PM is supposed to smell like, and it’s a sign that Amata is a much more potent extract than Ainterol. I have no idea. I hope that’s true, but it’s going to be extremely unpleasant to smell this stuff on my body. I’ll do it anyway if it works. Now on to my stats:
Starting Bust Measurement: 32”
Last Bust Measurement(1 month ago): 33”
Current Bust Measurement: 33”
I’m not going to bother taking pics yet since there’s been no noticeable change.
