Progress update... ;)

[Teeny Tiny]

Okay, for those newbies that don't know much about me and for those that have been at it as long as I have and longer here's my story and where I stand today...

I started noogling regularly the middle of June 2009 at a size 36AA (if that). During the first year it was very slow growing, in a years time I gained maybe half a cup size, up to a 36A, but did not have any noticeable growth until after about 10 months. The first 6 months I noogled 8-16 hours a day almost every day, then things got in the way, the holidays, the cold weather making it hard to maintain a suction with the foam rings, cracked cups, etc. So I ended up taking a 2-3 month break, well not completely, I noogled occasionally when I had the chance, but not regularly. Then I got back into the routine but not as many hours a day during the end of January 2010 and by the middle of June 2010, after my first anniversary of noogling I was maintaining a 36A roughly, not sure how accurate that size was as I had never had a professional bra fitting to make sure I was wearing the right size.

Over the last 7 months I had the intention of noogling regularly, but just couldn't seem to, I did pretty good until we had to move in with my mother-in-law back in October 2010. Then living with her threw my routine off big time because I wasn't comfortable noogling in her house due to lack of privacy, she's the kind that will just wander in our bedroom anytime during the day, and I didn't want her to see me nooling. Up until December I had pretty much maintained my 36A, even with barely noogling from October until then.

Then about a week before New Years I made a New Years resolution to noogle every day for the next year without missing a single day to see where I would be after another year. And about a month ago I added collagen powder and spirulina powder to my daily routine (I found the spirulina powder doesn't taste bad mixed in Hawaiian punch) , and added Wild Yam Balancing Moisturizing Creme a couple weeks ago. Well my hubby and I have noticed that I've been retaining a little more every day for the last couple weeks, so I decided to go get a professional bra fitting to see if I was still at the 36A I thought I was and was I surprised to find out I'm a full 36B on the right, and an overfull 36B on the left. My right side has always been smaller than the left, and I think a couple large lumps I have in it are interfering with it catching up to the other one, hopefully some day it will though.

So for those of you slow responders, don't give up hope, if it is working for me after nothing else did it can work for you, just give it time and don't over do it, otherwise you may find yourself damaging them and losing instead of gaining, I think that's what happened to me during my first 6 months. Just take it slow and easy and you'll grow, and for those who may have stalled and haven't had any increase in a while like I went through, I recommend taking a break for at least a month, and when you start back up it might get them growing again like mine did.

So there's my current bra size Anastasia, 36B, but I wouldn't bother getting me any bras, because at the rate I'm going right now I may be a 36C a month from now. I still can't believe I've grown an entire cup size in a month! Yippy!!! ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D CONGRATS SURE WISH MINE WOULD HURRY UP AND GET HERE CANT WAIT......what are the powders u are taking and what do they do?

 

[Teeny Tiny]

The collagen I prefer is...

http://www.iherb.com/Doctor-s-Best-Best-Collagen-Types-1-3-7-1-oz-200-g/19109?utm_source=gb&utm_medium=f3

Here's the description of what it does...

"Collagen is the major structural protein in connective tissue and the most abundant protein in the human body. It is responsible for maintaining the strength and flexibility of bones, joints, skin, tendons, ligaments, hair, nails, blood vessels and eyes, among other tissues throughout the body. Best Collagen Types 1 & 3 contains pure collagen protein, providing the fundamental building blocks for growth and maintenance of healthy tissues. Taken as a supplement, this product provides the body with the raw material needed to support the strength and integrity of essential structures. Best Collagen Types 1 & 3 is enzymatically hydrolyzed into component amino acids with a low molecular weight for optimal absorption and utilization by the body."

I'm taking it to help with tissue growth while I'm noogling, and also for my hair, skin, nails, etc. I'll keep taking it long after I'm done noogling, if I ever give up noogling. I've also tried the Neocell brand of collagen powder, I do not recommend it because it doesn't dissolve as well, and it tastes gross.

This is the spirulina I use...

http://www.swansonvitamins.com/NUT009/ItemDetail?n=0

Here's a description of it...

"Promote health and longevity with Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica from Nutrex! This unique formula helps support cardiovascular, eye and brain health, as well as boost immunity and energy. It features over 100 nutrients, 60% protein content, high levels of carotenoids, and high levels of antioxidants. The spirulina farm in Hawaii that manufactures this product has been cultivating spirulina for over 25 years with Hawaiian deep sea water with 94 trace minerals in a BioSecure zone free from pollution."

Spirulina was suggested to another noogler "Philli" by her doctor when she asked him what she could take to help with breast enlargement. Don't know if it's helping with my growth, but it is such a healthy supplement to take I'm taking it regardless.

Teeny Tiny,
Wow!!! What great news! I am so happy for you!!! I was wondering where you went!!! I didn't see you on the forum....
I also made myself a new goal for this year...I will also try not to miss a single day of noogleing!
I now noogled for 4 days! YIPEE!!!
I am sure that you will get to your goal soon! If you grew one cup size in a month then it can happen!
Good Luck dear!!

 

[Teeny Tiny]

Thanks Eva!

Good luck to you too dear, I hope you reach your goal in no time. So far I haven't missed a single day of noogling since Christmas Eve, a few days I don't get in as much as others, but I get at least an hour in every day. Last Sunday I was in so much pain from noogling and a growth spurt coming that I had thought about taking sundays off to give them a rest, but I decided to do a single one hour session before bed instead of multiple sessions throughout the day, and I got through the really painful spell that way. As long as I noogle gently and don't over pump noogling actually helps to reduce some of the pain during those times, well, while the domes are on anyway, once I take them off the pain may or may not intensify again. I'm getting ready to go soak in a nice hot bubble bath and do one of my noogle bath sessions, that ought to give them a swelling boost. ;D

 

[noog]

Thanks for posting teeny! That's so nice to hear that you've grown that much! That's awesome you'll have your C's in no time! It's nice to know that with a lot of time and effort you'll eventually grow even if your not a fast responder!!

 

[eva_bs]

I am happy to hear that you didn't give up noogling on sundays!
I wish I had a bath in my apartment!
It sounds so much fun to noogle in the bath!
Thank you for your encouraging words dear!!! I need them!
OOOO...I wanted to ask you what is the amount of Collagen do you take per day? (I take the capsules of Neocell collagen with the vitamin C in it. I also take the Hyaluronic as they recommend to take it with the collagen.)
I wanted to know how mg of Spirulina do you take?
Thank you dear!
Good Luck!

 

[roadrashes]

I am always so encouraged by your posts. I loved hearing your before and current progress. I 36 B and with overflow in one is FANTASTIC and you just motivated alot of us to keep on going when we don't see anything and are putting in the time. It's probably true that being we do look at our breasts all the time now we can't really notice any change.The mother in law thing must be tough though with privacy. I find it hard to find privacy from my husband and I'd be embarassed if he saw me all lubed up in the contraption. :0 If my mother in law were to walk in I'd just die on the spot. I'm sending good thoughts your way that you do get to fit in a noogle session everyday and will be looking forward to your updates. You have had fantastic growth!!

 

[Teeny Tiny]

Thanks roadrashes! I'm to the point to where I don't care too much if she walks in on me, I only do it in the bedroom sitting on the bed, and I make sure I have the notebook computer on the bed with me, or I have the sheets or something else handy to cover up what I'm doing whenever I hear the door open or her voice nearby. And I do it in the bathtub, where I don't have to worry about being walked in on by anyone other than my hubby. She knows that I'm noogling (she doesn't know what it's called, she just saw the domes and rather than make up something I told her the truth, that way she won't think anything of it as they're growing, although I have seen her looking with interest when I've walked out of the bedroom a cup size bigger ), I just don't want her to see me, too embarrassing! She doesn't have to worry about enlarging hers, she wishes she could make them smaller. She said she started out a 32A, then after having a hysterectomy and taking hormones, along with gaining weight they grew bigger than she cares for them to be. But I noticed she was also taking several supplements that a lot of nooglers take to help them grow like msm, when I told her that msm is taken to help with breast enhancement along with a few others she has she said she was just taking them for the health benefits. Well, I think she got more than she was bargaining for . It took a few months before I'd let my hubby see me with them on, I used to only do it when he was at work or sneak in sessions while he was in the office working, now I don't care if he sees me, seems to turn him on because he knows they'll be swelled up when I take them off.

Hi Eva! I take the powder collagen because it was recommended to me over the capsules because it's better and faster absorbed than the capsules, and I always mix it in a glass of orange juice for the vitamin C. I take what's recommended on the container, which is one scoop (6,600 mg). I haven't been taking the hyaluronic acid, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to start. As far as the spirulina goes I've been taking one teaspoon (3,000 mg, give or take, not sure if it's supposed to be a flat teaspoon, I usually round it which could be giving me a little more than 3000 mg) a day with supper, thinking about doubling it and taking another teaspoon in the morning and see what kind of effect it has, don't know if you can take too much or not. But I have noticed that the powder seems to be working a lot better than the tablets did, must have something to do with the digestion/absorption being faster and better, just like with the collagen.

It's weird how one can think they're one size, and be totally wrong, looking at them they don't look like 36B's to me, must be the shape or something that throws me off, but I guess trying on 12 bras, all 34C & 36B doesn't lie. My under breast measurement came out to be between 34 & 36 band size, but after trying on the 34's the fitter said, "Nope, too small, you're a 36." Guess it must be the mass there, not the shape that counts, cause in the bras they look good, other than the right being a little smaller than the left. Right now I'm sitting here noogling just the right one trying to get it to catch up with the left, I usually just give it more pressure, maybe giving it individual sessions will work better for me, we'll see! ;D

 

[Teeny Tiny]

Oh Eva, I also forgot to ask which collagen you're taking? I know my hubby's collagen type 2 capsules by neocell recommends taking the hyaluronic acid, but the powder collagen types 1&3 that I have in the neocell brand does not. I bought the powder by neocell after taking it in the Doctor's Best brand figuring collage is collagen, thought they'd both work and taste the same, boy was I wrong! The neocell powder does not like to dissolve, it stays lumpy, and it tastes awful compared to the Doctor's Best, so bad that it makes me nauseous, so my hubby's taking it and had me get more of the Doctor's Best for me to take. He can stomach much nastier tasting stuff than I can, don't know how, but he does. Oh, back to the question at hand, I was wondering which one you're taking because the collagen types 1&3 are more for hair, skin, nails, and tissue, and things like that according to supplement specialist I spoke to, whereas the collagen type 2 is more for your joints, spine (works to help lubricate the discs in your spine to help prevent and control things like degeneration, which is why my hubby is taking both)and related areas. Depending on what you're taking it for you might find the best benefits by taking both types, may help with your breast enlargement and any other issues you may have, like with my degenerative disc in my neck, and the ones in my hubby's back. Just thought I'd mention it in case you didn't know the difference in the two.

 

[eva_bs]

Hi Dear!
I am so happy for you that you are a 36B! it's really nice to know that you are one size bigger than what you think you are.
I was the opposite! I use to convince myself that I am a 34B bra size! and I was really a 34AA! But To tell you the truth...the AA didn't really fit me...it squished all my "breasts"...if you know what I mean. So...I used to lie to myself that I am a B!!! hahahahahahhahahaha
I lied until not long ago...since I started NBE...and also in the beginning I didn't want to believe that I was an AA!!!!
But now I know that I was an AA!!! and now I am an A!

Is it really true that the body absorbers the powder better? maybe I should open my bountiful Breast capsules...and drink water dump the powder in my mouth and swallow the powder... (I don't know if that's possible...but maybe it's worth a try?!)
I took Spirulina, Maca and MSM but I stopped because I thought something was messing my period up....I use to have my period once in 28 days but now I have it after 32 days. it's like that for a few months now...so maybe I will try the Spirulina again...also Maca too. I don't know if MSM is good to take with the collagen because it does the same thing.(I think) I also want to take the Maca...it has a lot of benefits.

Good Luck with noogling one side! I am sure that it will help!

 

[eva_bs]

Thank you for letting me know!
I take the 1&3 Type of collagen.
Can you please give me the link to your powder? maybe I will order it after I finish my neocell pills.
Thank you dear!

 

[Teeny Tiny]

I've been getting mine at Sprout's Farmers Market, they have a huge supplement section full of great supplements, but I've also been paying $16 a bottle for it there too, here's a link to a place online you can get it at cheaper, depending on where you live, I know it's cheaper with shipping for me, but maybe not for you.

http://www.iherb.com/Doctor-s-Best-Best-Collagen-Types-1-3-7-1-oz-200-g/19109?at=0

You can always do a google search for Doctor's Best Collagen, and you'll get a whole list of places to compare prices.

And yes, the body really does absorb the powder better than pills, when it's dissolved in liquid the body doesn't have to break it down and filter it, it just absorbs it and uses it. Like my hubby for example, he's got the habit of taking pills with just enough liquid to swallow them, but doesn't drink a full glass like you're supposed to to help dissolve it in your stomach. Often times people will swallow pills, and then depending on how quickly their system digests them they're already in the intestines and past the vital areas that process and disperse the nutrients before fully dissolved or sometimes before the even begin to dissolve. Where if it's taken as a liquid it starts getting absorbed into the blood stream and the rest of your system the second it enters your mouth. Even capsules can have this issue, depending on what the capsules are made of and how quickly they dissolve in your system to let the contents out, and you're still having to wait for them to dissolve before your system can process them so it's not as quick or effective, but better than taking a solid tablet. I don't think I'd swallow the BB powder then drink water though, that may be pretty gross, depending on the taste, and not quite as effective as dissolving it first. But I don't think it would hurt to pour the powder into a glass of water, or some other liquid to help flavor it, mix it up really well, then drink it. Then pour a little more water or other beverage into the glass and slosh it around or stir it and drink it to make sure you don't leave any behind on the glass, that's what my hubby and I do with our collagen and spirulina, and it seems to work for us so far.

Just keep on noogling and taking your supplements and before long you'll say hey look I'm finally the B I always thought I was, then you'll go get a fitting and find out you're actually a C! Wouldn't that be soo cool? ;D

 

[eva_bs]

Thank you dear! You made me smile.... I really hope that one day I will get to a full C! I hope I won't get greedy and I will want more!
Thank you for the link to your collagen powder.

 

[Teeny Tiny]

No sweat! Anything I can do to help to help out my noogleberry family members I will if I can. I'm dreaming of the day that I reach my goal, 36D. Once I reach my 36D I'll back off to maintenance pumping, once a day to once a week, whichever it takes to keep them perky and where I want them until they stay there permanently without any shrinkage. And even then I'll hold onto my pump and domes in case I need them later on, like if I lose any weight and need to pump them back up. I'm hoping to be able to get my weight where I want it while I'm getting my breasts the size I want so hopefully there won't be any issues with needing to pump up again later. But I figure as I get older it may come in handy to try to fight age and gravity. ;D

 

[aaaaaa]

congrats on your growth but what do you mean with the large lumps how did you get them? do you have them in your breast and you are still pumping maybe you must have mentioned that in your other posts

 

[Teeny Tiny]

I've got two lumps in my right breast that kind of go up and down in size throughout the month, probably with hormonal changes, one on top towards the outside and one just under the nipple towards the inside. I've dealt with at least the one below the nipple off and on for several years, I'm guessing their just cysts, one underneath the nipple in the same place the one is now actually got sucked out through the skin a few months after I started noogling. It was a very painful experience :'(, but once it was gone it didn't reappear until almost a year later. I still pump even with them and the pain, I just take it easier until the pain subsides, right now I'm having very little discomfort in the internal tissues of the right breast, and both nipples are out of their painful faze. More annoying than the actual nipple pain is when the irritation starts to heal, then they itch like crazy :-X! My left nipple was driving me nuts the other day, I had a hard time keeping from scratching it, my hubby noticed something seemed wrong and asked what was wrong, when I told him he quickly offered to scratch it for me.

 

[that1spaztichik]

Oh Teeny, I'm so happy for you!! You've worked hard for this for so long, it's about time you get those boobies you deserve HOORRAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!

 

[Teeny Tiny]

Thanks SPAZZ!

The last few days I haven't gotten my double or more noogle sessions in, but I've made sure to get at least an hour in before bed, and even with the 24 hour lapse between sessions I'm not shrinking below a full 36B, so it's definitely permanent! 36C's, here I come! 36D's look out cause mama's not given up till I get em! ;D

 

[roadrashes]

Teeny Tiny - I am so feeling that nipple pain from time to time. Ouch! Thankfully it does go away. I'm glad I'm not alone. I did ask the surgeon to take it out the cyst in my breast and she said no. The breast surgeon informed me that cysts do fluctuate and change from week to week due to hormones. My surgeon also told me if she takes the cyst out then I'll just get another one so now I am making friends with it. I always put extra heat on it after I noogle it does seem to help.

I'm rooting for you to get those 36 D's this summer.
