H2G,
I'm so glad pump and release worked better for you! Just stay on track with eating and make sure you take vitamins. When I forget mine a few days my swelling is pretty pathetic. I just remembered you asked about how much pressure I use... I really have no clue. I've never over pumped and gotten the red dots... Normally what I do is I pump till its really uncomfortable but not hurting hold it for like 3-5 seconds an release a bit. Just to the point that it's almost comfortable. Then I hold that for around 10 minutes ( I don't watch the time so sometimes it might be more like 20. Lol) the I release just untill the cups are almost ready to loose suction. Then I repeat. I will do that for an hour or so, take a break, then do it again.
I'm hoping I'm getting ready to go through a growth spurt. My nipples and breasts are soooooo sore. They don't hurt, just sore. I'm amount 2/3s of the way to filling up the medium domes so I'm trying to decide how long to wait till I order the larges, and then if I should get the contoured or regular. Right now I'm using the contoured mediums and I think if they weren't contoured they would be so uncomfortable. Also considering ordering the foam rings. Desicions, desicions.
