On the BO, I know what it did to me (still paying for it today) and I wouldn't want the same happening to you or anyone else. Curious to know why you're using it in you're program? If it's for the pituitary surge we talked about, BO wouldn't be my choice. The pituitary (referred as the master gland) can be stimulated naturally though. For instance: like avoiding carbs which will lower insulin, intermittent fasting, HIIT exercises (my least favorite lol), ginseng, vitamin A, D & E, manganese, all of which to be gotten thru food sources, or in supplement formif not from diet. Then of course getting enough protein. Some people are prescribed thyroxine for thyroiditis (because of having hypothyroidism) which stimulates the pituitary to secrete T3/T4 from the thyroid gland, having diabetes doesn't help either. Sorry, got track here, kinda miss our shop talks. 
Hi Lotus. <3 I've missed you here, its been a while.
About BO, I can't quote any awesome science on it from memory as I'm too stupid for that. I've just read enough positive anecdotes on it, also about having it on the side of HRT, so I wanted to try and it seems to be working and there's no adverse effects. Oh and I have not overdone the dosing which seems what has fucked people up with it. From what I now understand, BO seems to do a whole list of things and along body changes, my mental state has improved by a lot since I started with it, my feeling is that as if its somehow balancing my hormones in a really positive way. I can't explain it, I'm not entirely sure about everything it does. I'm getting labs booked within a month, so I'm soon going to find out what's happening under the hood.
Interesting list of thins, I almost naturally get +12 fast quite often as I'm not very hungry in the evening and often just not eat and morning is the same thing, it takes usually two hours or three before I'm hungry at all, this plus sleep gives quite a stretch without food. I got also Vitamins A, D and E and ginseng all covered.
I miss you too, my email is the same old if you want to talk more in depth, would be fun and besides, I remember sending one or two which you never answered to. Although that stuff by now is already ancient.
I'll attach a selfie here, from yesterday. So far, so good, no added padding and my bra is stuffed. Btw, having more hours with the pump seems to work on me like a charm. I'm pushing in the hours now as soon I'll have a two week break as a good friend of mine is coming for a longer visit. But hey, email me any time, it would be nice to have some more in depth discussion again.
You're pic made me smile, you look too cute. thanks for sharing. Lol, the padding thing is about as hilarious as the obese forum. Funny thing, after my surgery weight loss I maybe lost an inch on top, I'm good with it. Nothing to sitting flat on your back living on pain meds and eating and watching crappy reruns. I didn't lose weight on strict keto, the eat all you want line didn't work for me. Instead I dumped the carbs, eliminated snacks and fasted. It wasn't easy, I failed at least half a dozen times, but it finally kicked in I started increasing the fasting times, now 18-20 hrs is doable. You know who is this program this doing and has lost 20lbs in a few short months...Stevenator...i know right. I tried to get him on diet plan for years, he finally decided it was time...both he and his wife have lost around 50lbs, it's really inspiring. They threw out all the high fructose corn syrup products and carb laden products in the house. The read product labels, and look for carb content and subtract fiber to calculate net carbs.
Anytime time we slip into being overweight your(our) metabolism shifts from converting E2 production to E1 production, we don't want this, in otherwords you start storing more estradiol in belly fat and less is available for breast growth and inhibiting testes (androgens). There's actual science that I'll post on my thread, it's pretty alarming. Anyways, it's good to hear from you, I honestly forgot my password to my email, my apologies, I'll get it sorted.
Hugs

Awww, thanks. <3 I was on a really happy mood while taking those pics as I took them for a.... Special someone who posts on this forum too.
Padding yea, lol, I just have to mention it so that people know I'm not "faking it" with clothing tricks. xD So silly
So your surgery was a success and you don't need to live with constant back pain any more? That's so nice, congrats, back is a total mess to fix, very lucky to have it work out. I have done about 18 hours once and holy shit it was painful! I could do it, but with my metabolism that's quite a stretch. 12-16 hours works out ok though. Oh Stevenator has been losing weight, cool! Its been a while since I heard from him.
Interesting thing about weight loss, I'm still a bit chubby of course, but I've lost about 7lbs since the spring so very slow but steady. During last two months I've had the biggest, fastest growth spurt ever since starting HRT, this also correlates with quitting smoking. I'm now over two months completely clean and its having a major effect! And the fat I've been burning, I bet that's been releasing stored E, I remember when we discussed about fat storing Estrogens and releasing them along weight loss, seems to hold true. And the coolest thing, getting slimmer all while growing more boobs and barely losing anything from hips and butt. I wouldn't mind slimming down a bit faster though.
Day 440
I hit fourteen and half months on HRT today. My breasts are big and they are starting to cause some problems. For the last few days I've been very lazy with everything except Noogle. Weather has taken a turn, we got autumn here now and it started out of nowhere. Its cold, rainy, overcast and freezing north wind for days. So I've been at home and the only difference to usual is that I'm not wearing a bra all the time. My neck and shoulders are so badly stuck and aching like hell. Despite stretching many times a day, sleeping well, its just not enough.
My boobs are making my neck and shoulders hurt. For real. That area has always been prone to getting stuck but in past it has always required some repeating motion, bad sleep or lot of physical work or something. Now it enough to exist while not wearing a bra. The difference is staggering. A while ago I wore a bra religiously all my waking hours excluding pumping and it wasn't like this. So think twice what you wish for. Growing big titties comes with a price because they are heavy.
Rigorous pumping regimen is working fantastically, the growth spurt that I'm on has now continued for two and half months and now it appears to be slowing down which is following natural course of how breast growth works. My dear Mel87 has been helping me a lot with statistics derived from my diary markings which has been a real eye opener. The coolest thing being volume growth by percentage drawn into a graph. Its showing fantastically how growth spurts have happened and which kind of development correlates with HRT and NBE program changes. Soon a friend of mine is coming to visit me and he will stay for two weeks which gives me a perfect opportunity to take two weeks break from pumping. I have some discolouration which keeps on lingering and I think a bit longer break is timely to let my skin completely heal. Before that I will keep on pushing in the hours which for the month are now at 64. My goal is to hit seventy but I know I'll push past it.
Looks like quite soon I have to go bra shopping again. And I better get something sturdy and very supportive, this neck pain is killing me.
Considering that I only just recently started my own program and have already pulled out my own back brace to help with posture I know how you feel, the last time I wore this was with my zoom to DD. Its crazy how fast this can be, noogle with rigorous is very interesting as you know with my own hours invested
Also your absolutely welcome to keep using that spreadsheet for more analysis your data is totally complete unlike my own hehe but it definitely has given you a ton of insight that correlates with changes in your regime. The prediction is also very telling for your goals and when you'll reach them
But yeah good bras are not cheap but so affirming to replace
poor about the purse those
Day 443
I think its time to get a bigger bra.
There is only one word, EPIC!
