I’m glad to say it’s going ok, I’ve managed to be consistent with pumping too (1 hours per day) so I hope to keep that up.
I’ve upgraded my BO dosage to 3 pills so 750mg per day. My acne disappeared after 15 days of using 500mg, and while I don’t like acne I took this as a sign that my body can handle more. Almost immediately after starting 750mg per day I experience a lot of itching feeling inside the breast, it came every morning almost at exact same time, but only 3 days in a row and since then I haven’t felt the itch any more, but I’ve read from others here that it is possibly a sign of growth.
I also use BO nipple cream with coconut oil, I haven’t been using it daily because I don’t have nipple covers so I have to sleep with cheap plastic wrap in a tight sports bra and it is so uncomfortable. But the nipple cream works if I let the BO “brew” in the oil for at least two days, I get stabbing pains and ache in the breasts an hour after applying. But I can’t make the mixture and use the same day, I don’t know why this is, maybe it depends on the kind of oil and quality?
I’m 24 days in, and of those I’ve been on 750mg for 9 days. My emotions are still unstable and I cry very easily, but I’m getting used to it, it was a side effect that I was expecting and that makes it easier to handle. It feels like I only get growing pains now after the nipple cream so I’m wondering if I should upgrade to 1000mg or just be more consistent with the nipple cream. I wish those itching feelings would come back, I think that it was growth.
As for my size, yes they feel fuller than ever before, but I’m in luteal phase of my cycle right now so I’ll wait to after my period to see how much of that is real growth and how much is just swelling.
