Cycle 3 - Day 22

Firstly, last night I did 20 minutes of massaging and 25 minutes of noogling.


Morning: 1 FG 610mg, 1 EPO 1000mg, 1 SP 160mg, 1 Flaxseed oil
Afternoon: 1 FG, and 1 SP, 1 fennel tea
Evening: EPO 1000mg, 1 Flaxseed Oil capsule 1000mg, 1 fennel tea

I finished my first bottle of fenugreek capsules today, so I have taken 100 capsules. Bit of a random milestone! hehe

Other: Stomach feels pretty much back to normal! So that is good. Although I do feel pretty tired today still.

Massages: Massaged for 30 minutes this morning as I thought I better do a longer one. I will massage for 15 minutes tonight. I have just been using hot towels afterwards, as I'm keeping my wheat pack in the freezer for a few days as it was getting really stinky with all the fenugreek smell. I wanted to think of a new solution for putting something on my breasts after I massage that doesn't absorb the fenugreek...... but I don't want to put plastic. Any ideas of any other non-absorbant material? That way, the fenugreek won't get absorbed from my breast, but I can still put the heat on it.

Breast sensations: hmmmm interestingly, had a few tingles here and there, but only lasted maybe 30 seconds at longest. So pretty much NOTHING again!! 1/10 LOW. HMMMMMMMMM. I am thinking that my body has perhaps gotten used to the dosage. Thoughts? Another reason could be that at this time of my cycle, I understand that generally people will feel less sensations. Can't remember the reason! But I read it off one of waihaka's threads I think.

Ok so looking at my records from Cycle day 14 onwards (because cycle day 1-13 is the follicular phase, I will count the Luteal?, I think the name is, phase from cycle day 14-today). (Directly below shows reporting from cycle 2, then cycle 3).

Day 14: L, L ( no change)
Day 15: H, H (no change)
Day 16: L, H (increase)
Day 17: M, M/H (increase)
Day 18: H, M (decrease)
Day 19: H, L (decrease)
Day 20: L, L (no change)
Day 21: M, L (decrease)
Day 22: L, L (no change)

Cycle 1

High: 4
Medium: 2
Low: 1
N/A: 2

Cycle 2

High: 3
Medium: 2
Low: 4

Cycle 3

High: 2
Medium:2
Low: 5

Ok so you can see from the above that I seem to be decreasing in what I record as 'HIGHS'. For 'MEDIUMS' I seem to be tracking about the same. And I am increasing the 'LOWS' (which also means, nothing), that I am getting.

Comparing Cycle 2 and 3, there is only 1 more LOW in cycle 3, and one less HIGH in cycle 3 that in cycle 2. So I guess that isn't THAT BAD. So maybe I am overreacting thinking that I may be stalling.

FOLLICULAR STAGE

But in Cycle day 1-13 which is the follicular stage, just comparing cycle 2 and cycle 3 (I've put the cycle 2 result first then the cycle 3 result next to it):

Day 1: H, M (decrease)
Day 2: H, M (decrease)
Day 3: H, M/H (decrease)
Day 4: M, H (increase)
Day 5: H, M (decrease)
Day 6: H, H (no change)
Day 7: M, H (increase)
Day 8: H, M (decrease)
Day 9: L, L (no change)
Day 10: L, H (increase)
Day 11: H, L (decrease)
Day 12: H, L (decrease)
Day 13: M, L (decrease)

In cycle 2 I had:

High: 8
Medium: 3
Low: 2

In cycle 3 I had:

High: 4
Medium: 4
Low: 4:

Hmmm so that doesn't look too flash. I have halved the number of HIGHS, and doubled the number of LOWS. So maybe that means I have gotten to used to my dosage. Any ideas?

Measurements: Seems that my non-noogle measurement, is pretty much 31". The following days I provided a measurement:

- I have reported being 31" (day 4, 9, 10, 12, 13, 22 (nb: I just measured myself again and this time got a full 31.5"!!!, and just 30 minutes ago I measured and I was only 31"....!!!! hahahaa) to
- 31", 31.25", 31.5" (day 18 - I measured 3 results at the same time, so - pick the middle on 31.25") .
- 31.5" (day 22, as above, I got two different measurements. Seriously its hilarious how inaccurate measurement is! oh dear). (I also just measured my underbust, and first I got 27.5", then 15 seconds later I got 28"....!! )
- 31.75" ( day 19) Once I measured 31.75" but that was probably just from swelling still from noogleberry, even though it was more than 12 hours since noogling.

After noogling my measurements have been:

- 31.5" (Day 8, 9, 10, 11)
- 31.75" (Day 12 - and after 5 hours measured 31.25")
- 32" (Day 13, Day 19 morning)
- 32.25" (Day 18, Day 19 evening)

Noogleberry: 45-50 minutes this morning. Found that the noogle was pinching my skin, pulling a nerve or something in my arm which made my arm uncomfortable when I was noogling. Will try and noogle tonight for 40 minutes. And IMTRYING, that did work, by pumping up one breast and then clamping it, then pumping up the next breast, then unclamping the other breast. Woo hoo.
