STATS:
42 years old, 3 kids breastfed. 102 pounds, 5'4". I should have measured before I started but 2 months later I did: 34AA. I didn't have anything before BE, just flat deflated balloons. I'm currently nearing the end of my 3rd month and have had the following routine for the past 3 months. The first month I took only BGP and only filled up the balloons! The following month is when I measured using an online bra sizer. Once the BGP is all gone I'll be changing my routine (3 months from now)because I think individual herbs work best. I have tingling and soreness on a daily basis. I'll update after I revise my routine once I've finished the BGP.
9AM:
2BGP
2Fenugreek (500mg)
1 Saw Palmetto (750mg)
1 Red Clover (500mg)
Massage with EPO (2 x 500mg), 1 dropper Wild Yam & 1 tbsp. thick cream: This will last me 2 massages.
Mid day:
2Fenugreek (500mg)
1 Saw Palmetto (750mg)
1 Red Clover (500mg)
Before bed:
2Fenugreek (500mg)

I stalled. Took a 3 day break and took milk thistle 3x's per day for those days (boy was I flat!). I felt strongest tingles when I took red clover (when I first started) so I'll try this:
Revised routine:
3 x's per day: 1 red clover, 1 saw palmetto, 1 fenugreek
After 1 week I felt very slight pains so I'm ramping up to:
AM: 2 red clover, 1 saw palmetto, 1 fenugreek
Afternoon & bed: 1 red clover, 1 saw palmetto, 1 fenugreek
One week later: Feeling some more tingles, drop the fenugreek (I think this is what made me stall - we'll see!) & add 1 more saw palmetto per day.
Week 3 routine:
AM: 2 red clover, 1 saw palmetto
Lunch: 1 red clover, 2 saw palmetto
Bed: 1 red clover, 1 saw palmetto
1 GABA
I still feel tingles. Update after my period...

I eat first taking these on an empty stomach just doesnt work with my lifestyle. I do not drink any coffee, tea or carbonated beverages. I do however have a few cups of decaffeinated tea with honey and lemon every morning and throughout the day. I dont really like water but since its very important to drink lots; I water down my juice throughout the day. I started a new routine since I stalled in late August, early September. I did the liver cleanse for the first 3 days of my period. I used the Flat to Fab routine by starting off on day 4 of my period with 1 red clover 1x per day: after that I added 1 more until I reached a total 3xs per day and did the same with all of the herbs. Im now thinking of ramping up but Ive been so teary I can even make myself cry, apparently red clover does this but I really believe that is what is making me grow, I quit taking it in early August and next thing I knew I had stalled and had to start all over again. If I ramp up it will be with the saw palmetto. I take the dong quai for improving circulation and I get bad cramps on my period and this is supposed to help. Im getting tingles, hot to the touch boobs and sharp pains but not all day long its actually just before Im to take my next dose.
8AM: 1 fenugreek (500mg), 1 red clover (325mg), 1 saw palmetto (800mg), 1 dong quai (325mg), 1 wild yam (300mg).
After my shower I massage with red clover capsules and olive oil I have ordered the tincture because I hate the gritty feeling I have all day.
4PM: 1 fenugreek (500mg), 1 red clover (325mg), 1 saw palmetto (800mg), 1 dong quai (325mg), 1 wild yam (300mg).
11:30PM: 1 fenugreek (500mg), 1 red clover (325mg), 1 saw palmetto (800mg), 1 dong quai (325mg), 1 wild yam (300mg). This is when I take my 1025 calorie weight gaining drink as well, it contains fenugreek (Quick Mass by Allmax) they recommend taking it before bed, Ive gained 2 pounds since I started taking it (1 ½ weeks ago), youre supposed to take it twice a day but I find that I miss dinner if I do because Im not hungry.

1 red clover (425mg)
1 vitex (400mg)
1 saw palmetto (1000 mg)
3x's per day and at the end of the day I take 1 borage oil (1000mg) and 1 gaba (500mg).
I'm sore, tingling and having sharp pains. I think I found the right combination. Fenugreek isn't for me. I take my protein drink on days I miss a meal (I'm bad for that), I've gained 12 pounds now.

AM: 2 vitex
SUPPER: 1 SP, 1 RC
BED: 2 WY
I gradually added the herbs and wow they're firm and I feel the same way I did almost a year ago then I got exited that I was growing and ramped up to a stall.
I'm staying on this until June - I'll report back then.
The reason I stopped taking 2 x 400mg per day was I got my period every 21 days instead of 28 days - this scared me, I was also taking Yoga so I don't know what made my cycles shorter but this past month I was 26 days. I really felt it was either too much vitex or the yoga. Must of been the vitex, I still go to yoga and my cycle is starting to back to the same amount of time.

I know it sounds too easy. I'll be back periodically to update. I just started this routine last Saturday the 10th of May.
My measurements (this is day 5) 29" under the bust, 31" over the bust. Wen suggested I would gain 2 cup sizes in my left and 2.7 cups in my right. I'm lop sided and she didn't even know how big the difference is.
