I couldn't imagine trying to comment on other's progress solely by tape measurement numbers.

On that, it seems to me that thanks to gravity (and possibly the male rib cage), the number doesn't change anywhere near as quickly as the shape does. I've changed by only about half an inch over the last 3 months, but compared to how they've changed in depth and roundness this is hard to believe.

My list of advice for new hopefuls would be:

1. Be patient with NBE and have realistic expectations.
   
2. Everybody grows at their own rate. Try not to compare your growth too much with others.
   
3. Don't overload on herbs. It takes time not huge quantities of herbs to grow breasts.
   
4. Post your NBE pictures on a consistent basis so you can get a second opinion on your growth.
   
5. Think carefully before embarking on NBE. NBE can significantally affect your relationship with others (especially your significant other if you have one), reproduction/sexual capabilities, your moods and mental outlook, your appearance, etc.
   

Looks good to me!
