Starting: 38DD; 35" bandsize; 42" overbust; less fullness on upper part of breasts; 45" hips; 31" waist; history of heavy menses and brown spotting. Starting on August 2, 2022.
Goal: I cup and fullness; ok if hips increase; improve hormone balance; to make menses of lighter intensity and reduce brown spotting.
She's in her early 20's; she's 5'5"; her highest cup size was 38DDD, before she lost weight about a year ago. At around 15 years old, her bra size was a C cup; she's an IUD which contains a progestin.
Start of Anon09's herb program
She's taking 5 pumpkin seeds at a time, no sooner than once an hour. Then, later increased the amount to 7 pumpkin seeds at a time, again, no sooner than every hour. Stomach bloating has gone down. Overbust is the same as from starting. Measurement from one armpit to center of nipple is 13".
There's minor stomach bloating in this image from August 2nd. She's using the program for BCP-like proliferative phase, because she's using an IUD.
August 3
By the next morning, there seems to be no more stomach bloating, nor swelling/bloating anywhere else. What little acne there was the day before also lowered. Hips have increased by .5" to 45.5".
Now that there's no sign, she tried about 1 tsp of olive oil and 5 pumpkin seeds. (1 tsp of olive oil may be harsh for some, so a smaller amount of olive oil, or saw palmetto, wild yam powder or other phytoprogestin substitute can be used instead). In less than an hour, there was breast tingling, so she checked for breast warmth. Because there was breast warmth, she ate 7 pumpkin seeds and 5 sesame seeds.
August 4th
On August 4th, her breasts had a 43" overbust, which is an increase of 1".
Instead of saw palmetto, wild yam, olive oil, coconut oil or walnuts, she's eating over 1/2 tsp of peanut butter as a phytoprogestin. She's also taking 7 pumpkin seeds with it, then she's taking 7 pumpkin seeds as soon as swelling occurs. After that, she's taking 7 pumpkin seeds no sooner than every hour, until swelling and bloating go away.
Updates: August
At this time, her breasts are higher up, and there's more mass at the top.
As of August 15, she has had acne, and is in premenstrual phase. She ate apples to help lower acne.
she had swelling/bloating during early menses. She also had mixed signs, which include cramps. She may eat apples for their dietary fiber and vitamin C supplements to help lower these effects.
Updates, August 26: BCP-like phase
Anon09 is on BCP-like phase. She's using the simplified herb program. The resource about swelling in the appendix is also important, as swelling is often mistaken for breast growth, but it's an impediment.
2022 August 28
Anon09's overbust is 44½".
2022 August 31
Noticeable increase in bust.
2022 October
For the menstruation she had of last September, it was light.
She often takes breaks around the time of premenstrual symptoms, then continues with the growth schedule for the next nonmenses.
