JJ - "Week 5" Bountiful Breast

by JJ

No measurement changes after Week 5, but some encouraging news - I felt "growing pains" this week! Off and on, for most of the week I have felt pangs and dull aches in my breasts. Yeah! My breasts still feel like they are fattier and jigglier, but no one else would probably notice.

I did some internet reading and found more information about bovine glandular therapy (like the ovary/pituitary contents in BB pills). Apparently, it is not necessarily as 'hokey' as I may have thought. There are numerous companies selling glandular products using many different parts of bovine (and other animals) as therapy. Kind of like alternative medicine options for different hormone and physical issues. (Please note: I have no medical background; I am just summarizing what I understood I read.) Anyway, it goes to the following points:

Lighter, less painful periods - Although I have only had two since being on BB pills, I have noticed my periods have been much improved. I have always suffered (both pre/post baby) from intense cramps and heavy periods. My last two have been shockingly light in both regards. No complaints! The less pain meds, the better. I was going to hold off on making this connection until I had more periods, but I kept coming across info that glandulars can be used to affect and relieve menstrual cycles. I have an OB/GYN appt this month. After my exam, I think I am going to tell her about the glandulars I am taking. I am assuming she will not be supportive, but we'll see. I just want to make sure I am not affecting my uterus or ovaries. Which leads me to my next point.

Discharge - Still have milky/yellow discharge. Most annoying! I read from another site promoting natural breast enhancement using bovine glandulars, that the body's reaction is similiar to puberty or pregancy. Both of which explain the painful breasts, discharge (I remember from pregnancy) and insatiable urge to eat all day long, etc. There is definitely something going on... And finally, added curves?

Don't want to admit it, but I am feeling softer and rounder. I just weighed myself and no weight gain. But my stomach is 'doughier' and my butt is bubblier, as Livia put it. I exercise regularly and try to stay firm, so this I do not like. I am hoping any potential weight or fat distributed not in my breasts can be worked off once my breasts grow...Or I run out of BB pills. Eight months to go! :)
