Thanks Nessa for your comments. I will book myself in to see the doctor again. But I'm kindof hoping this is something I can solve myself through diet. The doctors are pretty useless at doing anything about it, and they don't seem to see it as a problem. They told me that lots of people get ovarian cysts, and generally they don't cause you any problems, occasionally they rupture/twist etc, and that is what I had back in January this year. Since then I haven't experienced that again, although I did have the slight bloating/pain, and now slight rash this time. However, on the positive side, this is no where anything like when I had the cyst in January. Interestingly, when I had the cyst in January, I went to get an ultrasound about 7 days later, and there were no cysts to be seen and everything looked completely normal. I really think it was the protein shakes because of all the sugar I was consuming that did it. I will keep up with my program again this month and keep documenting everything, and will see after that. It will be time for a break from NBE anyhow as I will have done it for 3 months.
Ok, I've decided to develop a new format on reporting to make it easier for me to keep track of things. Today is the first day of my period so that makes it easy for me to start it now!
Just to recap from yesterday, I have found that my cycles are 26 days (first month on NBE, and 25 days (second month on NBE).
I received my Noogleberry today. I wasn't expecting it for awhile longer, so was surprised when it turned up this morning. Took me awhile to put it together as I am pretty useless at making things, but got there in the end. I don't really know if I am doing it properly. I just did it for 10 minutes to each breast, LH side first then the RH side. I have medium cups and they are pretty big for me, particularly on my RH which is the small of the breasts. I got the cup rings too, but I was using them without it.
What I do is hold the cup in place, then pump about 4 or 5 times and then there is a release button on the pump, I press that, and then start over pumping 4 to 5 times. It seems that after about the 4th or 5th pump, it gets much harder to pump, so I just assumed that, that was where you stop. Breasts did not look red or anything afterwards. Not sure if I am doing it right, so better get on the noogleberry forum site and read up on how to do it. If anyone reading this knows, then let me know!
